Video Review : Magic Flashlight

Do you like snowboard? I do! Since last 3 years, I've been snowboarding seriously. Very serioulsy. It's not easy to impress the viewers especially when we're doing the same stunts or something. Tricky, it is. Then, Mike Benson was born. He comes up with one of the greatest snowboard movies that I've ever watched. It's entitled "Magic Flashlight". What's the relation with either snow or board? You'll see.

Okay, the first two sentences above was such a lie. This Mike Benson impresses the viewers not by hovering for minutes, or rotating in the air relentlessly. He only adds some motion work in his video and that's done it. After Effects is used to achive the great result. The technique he uses is a modified version af Andrew Kramer's After Effects Light Streak Tutorial which needs Particular Plugin. Nice. Even I haven't yet managed to have a good command of it. Messing with settings and also scripting. D'oh. Enjoy.

Knife Show Inc and friends uncover a strange phenomenon at Timberline Lodge at Mt Hood. Snowboarding video takes place in and out of High Cascade Summer Camp. Shot and edited by Mike Benson. Starring Brendan Hayes, Eli weiner, Scott Stevens, Chris Beresford, Matty Mo, Jesse Burtner, and Casey Wrightsman.
