“On the left a huuuge spray, some jibs on the right and awesome kicker tricks in the middle. This clip has lot things to discover and offers many possibilities to watch. In the end, the focus is about the most important thing of our sports: creativity and fun.”
“To enable the 360° perspective the clip has been filmed with a cubical rig with six cameras mounted. At any time the rig was in the center of action, mounted on a drone high above the riders’ heads or on a steadycam in the hands of the skiing cameraman. During the postproduction all six camera angles were put together in a 360° clip.”“For our clip it means: It doesn’t matter in which direction you’re watching – something is going to happen there!.” This specification truly requires an exact plan, a perfect choreography, and the right setup among the riders.
