BEN BROWN - Kayaks Nevis Rapids Queenstown NZ

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 11:13:39 +0100

Ben Brown is a true white water legend having travelled the world on many expeditions into unknown waters to drop falls where no paddler has gone before. A leader amongst his peers Ben is the most respected paddler in NZ and has dropped all the big falls of the country multiple times. Last month we gave him the option of doing any mission he wanted in NZ.. Red Bull NZ would deploy a full production team, with helicopters, mini cams, and whole lot of energy drink! We were all fizzing at getting down to river level to see it first hand! We spent a bit of time getting to know Ben before he put his life on the line in the name of adrenalin and stratigically paddled the massive death pits of the Grade 5 rapids.. NEVIS BLUFF! Here is how our time with Ben played out! www.redbull.co.nz For more of Ben check out http://www.benbrown.co.nz

WildWater North Fork Payette Teaser

Thu, 17 Jun 2010 09:40:33 +0100

A sneak peak at our final segment for WildWater, filmed on a record high, very big North Fork in June 2010. For more see wildwaterfilm.com. The full film will be out in the fall, in festivals and small theaters in mountain towns. A huge thanks to co-writer and collaborator Doug Ammons, check out his incredible whitewater writing at dougammons.com WildWater is a journey into the mind and soul of whitewater, into the places only river runners can go, places of discovery, solitude and risk. Its a visually stunning feast for the senses, and an expedition into new ideas. We set out to create a new kind of adventure film. One where image, sound and ideas trump all else. We wanted to communicate the essence of the thing we love - wildness and whitewater - and put its soul on film. A tall order. After thousands of hours of effort in around the world and in our studio, we are now editing the full version of a film we call WildWater, and we have achieved much of the goal. Borrowing Hollywood film tools and techniques, including RED digital cinema cameras and high speed film, WildWater brings not only new perspectives, but new images to kayaking and the world of adventure cinema.
