Camp 4 Finalist Video #1

In late January Camp 4 Collective (my video production company) announced the ‘So You Think You Can Edit’ Contest (yes, I know its catchy) and asked editors that wanted to work with us to submit their reel. It was an idea I came up with to try and find more creative people to work with. From the over 60 reels that were submitted we selected seven finalists (actually it was 9 but a few folks had projects come up) — that’s when things got interesting.

The seven finalists from around the globe were mailed a drive loaded with Phantom footage, B Roll, Timelapses and Music from a shoot we did earlier in the winter with our friend Carston Oliver. (For those of you who don’t know, Carston is one badass skier and Mtn Biker). Once they received their drives, they had 6 days to put together their final entry. We gave them very little direction — essentially the timeline was a blank canvas.

Camp 4 received the finalist’s videos last week… and at first we were going to share only the winner’s video. But after seeing how hard everyone worked on this project it seems selfish to lock them away. So, all this week we will be sharing them here (1 to 2 videos a day) and we will be announcing our winner on Friday.

This video edited in Switzerland with love from Tom Malecha is our first of the week.
