Crew: Jon Olsson, Even Sigstad, Tom Wallisch, Aleksander Aurdal, Anders Backe, PC Fosse, Christopher Frankum, Ole Mustad, Espen Kristiansen and Filip Christensen
The shoot at Juvass was on for about two weeks total. We first started shooting one succesful day at the kicker, and then bad weather moved in for some days.
We headed back again to wrap up the filming for "Eyes Wide Open" with RED, helicopter and the same great line up of skiers.
Jon and the Norwegian skiers got more and more comfortable with the jump as the days went by. They improvised with big technical tricks, with more height and airtime that never have been seen before. Jon had been racing gates 14 days in a row before hitting the jump, but that did not effect his jumping skills. He stepped it up with new grab combos on his double flips, and big stylish spins.
Then it was time for the big helicopter day. We were all psyched to get some really good shots that will raise the quality of the movie. It turned out great, even if the Cineflex gyro stabilzator we supposed to use on the helicopter didn“t work that day. Filip had to film handheld with the RED One camera, and he got the shots.
The day after, Tom Wallisch came to Juvass for coaching the Quiksilver camp, as well as film for "Eyes Wide Open". We sessioned the jump for a bit, and Tom got some nice footage together with the Norwegians.
This was a perfect way to end the filming for "Eyes Wide Open".
Now its time to edit the whole movie together, which will take a while. Be sure to check it out this fall.
