Whistler

Sandbox Catalog

in , , ,
Sandbox was founded in 2004 by Kevin Sansalone and a group of close friends in their hometown of Whistler BC.  They started the brand with a series of snowboard films that captured a new style of film making with well rounded riding that is a huge part of the snowboarding culture in Whistler and Western Canada. Later they started the Sandbox helmet brand in 2007. The helmets are quickly becoming one of the leaders in helmet style, design and function, and Sansalone is a legend.

I shot some lifestyle, action and product up on the Blackcomb glacier and in the studio last summer for the catalog and website.  We got to enjoy the full Whistler weather experience, of sun, rain and snow, in a 5 hour period.  Epic.  Here's how they turned out.

FOURSQUARE - POP

in , , ,

 

I did a foursquare outwear girls shoot on Whistler Blackcomb back in July.  Our one week window only really offered rainy weather with slight chances of harsh overcast, but the girls and outwear looked amazing none-the-less.

Thanks Caley for the wonderful assists. Amanda, Luisa and Chriggy for lovely modelling skills and good spirits, Winkel and Keller @foursquare for the business and Whistler Blackcomb for the lift tickets.

Here's what they ended up using in stores.

All I Can - Sherpas Video Premier Photos

in ,

Sherpas Cinema premiered their award winning ski documentary, All.I.Can,  last night at the whistler conference center. I usually don't get to watch these premier movies when I'm working them. I usually end up packing up my gear and miss the first 20 minutes so I don't bother to spoil it by watch only half.  Somehow I managed to watch most of it last night, and I was more then impressed.  Creative, original, and interesting.  They use cutting edge filmmaking techniques to keep your visually stimulated throughout the entire movie.  My favorites are the static  shoots transitioning from green to snow, topped with a skier entering the frame doing some sort of awe.  Breathing glaciers, glowing plants, basically this movie uses time lapses that put the typical sunset shot to shame.  You can tell, alot of time was put into this video. Anywho,  I'm not much of a reviewer or a writer for that matter, but I recommend you check the video yourself. All I Can Teaser

Tennessee Three topped off the night with John Cash classics, and one Stevie Nicks jam! Mat the Alien shut her down while Speedman and Cosco almost kissed *blush*

Thanks for the terrific night boys!  Great to see some old  faces, some new faces  and the Calgary crew representing!
