ADVENTURE INSPIRATION FILM CASCADA

It's Saturday and it's time for another great adventure film. This weeks selection comes from a film made for NRS by Forge Motion Pictures. The behind the scenes are pretty amazing and the slow motion work was incredible. I really hope you enjoy this one as much as I did. Bon weekend!

Tangled vines. Endless rain. Dodgy hotel rooms. Mud. Biting flies. Aggressive viruses...Perfection. Is this a vacation? Erik Boomer, Tyler Bradt, Galen Volckhausen, Tim Kemple, Anson Fogel, Blake Hendrix and Skip Armstrong hunt the remote Mexican jungle for the perfect waterfall...and the perfect shot. Paddler and cinematographer alike explore a world beyond the expected. Cascada. From www.forgemotionpictures.com, makers of the award-winning films Of Souls + Water, WildWater and Cold.

ADVENTURE INSPIRATION FILM DARK SIDE OF THE LENS

I'm an avid fan of outdoor films. They inspire me to get outside, have some fun in the mountains around me, and make some great pictures!

BANFF MOUNTAIN FILM FESTIVAL

It's February, and for me that means that the Banff Mountain Film Festival Tour is almost here. Every year I attend this event when it comes to town, and as of today it's only a couple of weeks out. In realizing this, I've found I have a long list of excellent outdoor films that I draw on for inspiration. I'll start sharing these for a little weekend love and hopefully some needed weekend motivation.

DARK SIDE OF THE LENS

This weeks weekend motivator comes from The Astray. This film has it all: exceptional cinematography, a great narrative, an awesome accent, an excellent audio track choice, and stellar color processing. It's won numerous awards and always gets me juiced to go out and have some fun. Bon weekend!
