Since I've really gotten into making short film edits and want the best quality I can get, I've started thinking about upgrades more and more. The first thing to do, other than get better at editing and video capture, is to get a better broadcast channel. I recently moved all of my videos over to Vimeo under a Plus account. I have thoughts on a new camera to use next season and most importantly I need to upgrade my processing hub with a new iMac. But since that'll be upwards of $2800, that'll have to wait.
My channel link for Free 2 Be Productions, which will hopefully be an LLC by the end of the summer, is:
http://www.vimeo.com/free2be
So to show you the visual quality of Vimeo, here's a short edit I put together of ski buddy Ross sending it on a very fun line. Ross is about 42 years old by the way. Just another testiment of mind over matter.

Jackson Without Jared
Going to Jackson Hole for the last weekend in February has been the best decision of the 2009-10 season. As temperatures reached 55 degrees in Ogden and Salt Lake City, we ski untracked boot deep lines.
Since the resort was skied out, Trevor and I decided that it was time to go exploring a little further out of the gates than we've gone before. Cody Bowl's warm up lead us to go out to No Name and ski the face and down into the canyon. The next day we lapped tree runs in the Magical Forest, low angled, but fun albeit, and finished by skiing out Four Pines. The whole trip we only took 2 gondolas, 2 trams, and 1 chair ride. Every trip is different and awesome.
Something was different this trip; our group agenda changed from skiing the technical big lines that we usually ski to just finding and skiing good snow. Maybe it was the fact that Jared bailed out on the trip for a playoff hockey game in his league and wasn't there. Well Jackson without Jared was an amazing weekend and this video is dedicated to him to show him how much fun he missed.
My Nomads readying for Four Shadows
Feeling "good" after a 4 hour drive on 4 hours of sleep
No Name looking sexy
A future goal for a future trip
All in all a good trip

Skiing Pow Into the New Year
Some days just are meant to be "working from home" days. With no bosses in and no work coming through, New Year's Eve became one of those days. It was a good thing too as Snowbasin had a good foot of fresh waiting for me.
iPhone with work email connection...... Check. Work laptop...... Check. Skis, new boots, and new HELMET CAM..... Check, check, and CHECK!!!!! Thank you Mother for the amazing Christmas and B-Day gift!!!! Hopefully you won't regret seeing what I do on skis now.
It was a good day on the hill and I did actually get an email from a customer while out and did address it; so I really did work and put myself in position to get whatever work done that was needed. This was the first day with my new boots, the Garmont Prophets, and the V.I.O. POV 1.5 helmet cam. It was fun testing out the camera and figuring out the side mount angles that look good. I still haven't received my new Icelantic Shaman 173's from Denver yet so I was rocking my Nomads still. I love these skis and they destroy everything on the mountain. With all the soft new snow, I finally hit a couple of cliffs.
I still have to get an Up-Res plug-in for the footage I get from the POV 1.5 so it looks better when put in with an HD video edit. I blew a couple of good shots from the first two runs because I didn't wipe off the lens after exiting from the clouds and it had fogged up. But here's a short edit from the test day of the usable footage.
