Slow Motion Edit

I have been wanting to make a slow mo' edit to a Magnetic man song for a while now. After deciding on the song 'Mad' I'm pretty happy with the results. Let me know what you think. Thank you to Laura, Dan, Mike & Gus for filming too, I think you'll agree they got some pretty good shots.


I tried and tested a new hoodie the other day made by my friends company called Brain Freeze. I can happily say its one of if not the best hoodie I have rode in. Super high quality, a must have for anyone on or off the mountain. Check them out for yourself www.brainfreezeclothing.com

Not much else to report apart from the pipe opening back up. Keep a check on each update ready for the Wake'n'Bake tutorial.

Geek session - Adobe After Effects

So friday night I had a massive Mac attack and and just peeked out on the computer all night. I watched tutorial after tutorial trying to learn different effects while playing around on Adobe After Effects CS5.5 and Final Cut Pro X. After 4 hours of pulling my hair out and hitting problem after problem I called it a night. Waking up with a fresh start I managed to pull it all together and got a couple of new effects nailed.

The first effect you will see in the mini edit is called 'Freeze frame sequencing'. This has to be done using Adobe After Effects and is very time consuming. The second is called 'Colour selective editing' and is done using Final Cut Pro. Its quite a quick process but the difficult thing is selecting the right colours to make it look effective.

Please leave your comments below and give me some feedback on what you think
