It is all over… NOT!

Untouched in MB
 
Filmers holidays kind of suck, hehe.

After three weeks of not seeing the light of day and missing out on all the fun shred days before the premiere, it is finally all over… for most of the people involved. For me it is time when mails start dropping in.
“Hey, could you send me my shots till tomorrow… and by the way Happy Holidays!”… Gee, thanks, I get right on it, haha!

Yet, there is fun stuff too. Untouched project is screening in Maribor on 28th, BOFF on 30th and ŠportTV also on 30th, so we have some parties scheduled! The tickets are still possible to obtain here, drop by, lets finally have a beer together!

The Final Day

Screen shot
 
All work and no play makes anyone a dull boy…
Yet, I have been nothing but stoked and super relaxed throughout it all. Which is strange, I tend to stress and get bummed out too much usually. Still have to make some final touches thou, so going nuts remains an option, haha.

D-Day is tomorrow and it was a hell of a ride… not only traveling and filming, but the ending process has been a trip on its own as well.
Riders and filmers came to check the film out and give me feedback, my friend Gillesku worked on sound (which was kinda new for me) and it was all a good learning experience, how to properly polish a big project, instead of just doing it “my way or the highway” style.

The interest in the premiere is way bigger than anyone of us expected, which is the best reward by itself!

Thanks to all for showing support and see ya tomorrow!

All about Untouched

My biggest project so far, the Untouched project, is only a month away from seeing the light of day!

The daily routine is totally vampire now, but the cool thing is I get to see the sunrise and the sunset every day… just the other way around, hehe.

Here is everything you need to check, if you are interested in the video: FB event, ticket purchase and website for more info…

The skiers teaser is also out, so check who’s in and get ready for the 20th December premiere in Kino Šiška!

No more travels… for now :)

I just returned from Basque country with Untouched crew, where we spent two weeks surfing with Ujusansa and it was good times as always. It was battery recharging to the fullest, like reading books on the sunny terrace and stuff like that, haha.

Yet, it is really nice to be back home for a change. Don’t get me wrong, it is a gift, when you get to travel, but after a year mostly on the road, I need to spent some time with homies in Kranstrdam and focus all of my energy on one sole project… the Untouched project.

More pictures from our stay in Spain on Untouched blog… check it out and call for a beer or a miniramp session!

Chile experience with Untouched project

This year I have been traveling a lot, mostly thanks to snowboard/ski related matters. We have been doomed in the past two winters and had to chase snow like we usually chase waves here on the “inland”. Search is always on, hehe.

Untouched project‘s main skier, Bine Žalohar, had a misfortunate injury in the start of our second filming season, so we were at a crossroad… should we make a snowboarding only video or push over our budget, put in some own and get stuff done in summer. Four heads looked at each other and smiled… it was on, we are going to Chile!

I always had a great wish to go to South America, but it is funny to drop there in summer and basically hit the middle of winter… Sanka moment on the airport, haha.

Discovering a big and totally new country, trying to get good powder shots and gain some travel experience was super stressful and amazing at the same time. We visited three ski regions, surfed, partied, hottubed, BBQed with locals… and drove and hiked more than ever in my life. Yet, we can say with out a doubt that we got lots of what we wanted and more… Chile is a nice place to be.


Thanks to the rest of the crew for putting such an effort in… Bine was sick pretty much the whole trip, but really came through with the sheer determination to get his share in the video (also cooked and drove most of the time), Maček was the proper balkan PR/manager like always and became some sort of an director/screenwriter in the mix of things and Katja got everything documented for the project (and resort tickets, hehe).

We posted regular updates on the Untouched blog, so check there for more pics and story… teasers will be dropping in November and the video premieres around Christmas, so check back…

Ujuclips 2012

I have a privilege to do whatever I want with the clips for Ujusansa, so I try to play with a different techniques every year… last year I was really into timelapses, this year I dig contrasts and details…

The clips are pretty standardized, to give some cohesion for each summer, but a lot of different stuff goes down every term, so its worth checking. Some groups surf hard, some party hard and some just go all out every occasion possible, haha.

Click play below or check them on Ujusansa’s vimeo profile

Next three weeks I will be in Chile with Untouched crew, trying to get some winter shots with Bine and Maček, so I probably will not be posting regularly, but make sure you follow the Untouched blog to see what goes down on the other side of the world…

Ujusansa short

Ujusansa has been a great sponsor for the Untouched project and basically the whole team surfs with them in the summer, so I had some footy for a short commercial for their upcoming surf camp in Spain.

It is funny how you film all sorts of shenanigans during the year and that is normally just a bag of throwaway footy, but sometimes it is exactly what you need… everything happens for a reason I guess, haha.

Filming in Slovenian mountains

I am making it sort of annual to spent few days in Bovec in the last days of the season. I am not much of a park lover, so I skip Dachstein hype and leave for big mountains before summer finally takes over.

This time we even filmed some slush stuff for Untouched project and the rest of it was chilling and good times. You know it is the no stress weekend when Maček comes half drunk to a filming mission, haha.

Good crew, super hot days, beers and swimming mandatory… check loads of photos and a local eating shit on the slush kicker here
