Pics from JOSS Awards

Found these pictures from Blondinbella's blog.

She was hosting the event together with Colby James West.
They did a pretty good job I must say.


After the scoring was over, three teams ended on the same points.
Team Norway up on the stage
Hampus did the job as style judge! Full points for our team!
Team Canada got the best overall score, so they where announced as final winner!
My homeboy from Övik Nils "Big City Boy" Grundberg was also there to support Bella. I guess he is the one who's been taking the pictures.

Good times!

I just found this clip that a friend of mine posted.

Probably the sickest thing I have ever seen.

Really wish I could do things like that.

Sooo sick!

JOSS Awards

Ok, here's a short summary of tonights JOSS awards.

Team Canada took home the whole thing while Team Norway ended up in a split second place together with team Newschoolers.

We all had equal points after the four different categories, but the overall score came to decided who was the winning team.

We did score the best when it came to

BEST STYLE

BEST TECHNICAL

BEST URBAN

But when it came down to the overall we came down a little bit short and team Canada with Mike Clark on the Team did a great job with the editing.

Congrats Canada, even though I thought that Team America, Team Newschoolers and Team Sweden killed it!

Here's a short clip from the awards.

JOI

On thursday the annual Jon Olsson Invitational Competition was held here in Åre.

Our team member, or actually you could call him our team captain Andreas Håtveit did his thing and won the whole comp.
Congrats to him.
After that we headed straight back home to our apartment to start the editing.

About 20 hours later we handed it in. Not much sleep these past two days I must say but now it feels great.

The JOSS awards will be held tonight (saturday) at Mix Megapol Arena. Really looking forward towards looking at the other teams edits. It will for sure be some sick stuff in there.

All the teams have a great chance of winning I must say, so I really don't have any expectations on the evening. But hopefully we will place well and I'm sure that we'll have a great night!

Holla!

Here's the Video from JOI!

JoSS Day 10

Damn!
The days just keeps running by an soon this whole thing will be over.
We haven't even begun with the editing yet. But at least we have put all the clips together and we're lucky enough to get to borrow Byssa's 27" iMac to edit the movie on. Big up to him for lending us his mean machine!

Can't wait to get started!

Tomorrow the Jon Olsson Invitational Competion will be held at 19.00. After that, we will head straight back to our apartement and probably stay up all the time that's left until deadline at 18.00 on friday afternoon. Gonna be some pretty tight and hectic days now I guess.

No clip of the week will be delivered this week, hope that you're OK with that.
Hopefully I will bring you two edits next week when this JOSS thing is over..

By the way. You can watch the JOI contest live on the web tomorrow at the JOSS page.

Here's some pics from that site that I stole from the loving photographer Thomas Kleiven

Tveit himself claims that he looks like sid from Ice Age on this picture
I wouldn't argue with him on that one..

Håtveit backflippin. Just like that!

JoSS Day 9

Today we hit the jib garden again and Alexander got revenge on the haystacks! Booyah!

Then in the evening when all the other teams went on the annual rock party at Bygget we decided to go hit a wooden rail up in Björnen instead. Maybe not the best desicion we made this past week..

Anyway!
Check out this article on norwegian magazine Fri Flyt's webpage.

It's about the other filmer on our team Andreas Johannessen. There's also some smooth pictures in there from tonights session.
When we came home from the session, the article and the pictures was allready published on the web

Good work by Mr. Kleiven I must say!

Read the Fri Flyt article HERE
We gave the haystacks another try. Alexander Aurdal is THE MAN!
Sig Tveit hiking that rail
Me and Andreas looking at the shots. I'm looking kind of sceptical..

JOSS Day 8

Today started off with nice and sunny weather but the clouds came rollin in pretty much the same time as we started the session on the Hip and the Jib Garden Arena. We really needed some shot from that place since we missed out on the first session due to late arrivals.

We got some good shots on the hip by Andreas who went HUGE!
Check out Thomas Kleiven's photos at he SUPER SESSION page

Hopefully the weather will allow us to give the jib garden another try tomorrow.
Alex doin some yoga excercises.
Hampus going big on the hip. On SKIS!
Check out that steeze!

Pics from today

I just got a hold of some smooth pics taken by this kick ass dude called Daniel Jordy.
When he post stuf on the internet, they will most likely end up HERE

Here's some pictures from tonights session on the JOI jump.
Andreas Håtveit
Sig Tveit, who actually lost his key to the apartment today which will cost him 2000 SEK!

Pretty decent airtime

Håtveit and our paraglider Pål, teamworking!

JOSS Day 7

After last days disappointment with no shots at all, today was a big improvement!

We went back up to the step over kicker in Solravinen at 11 o clock and DAMN that was a good session!
First ever tricks was thrown down almost wherever you looked.

All off our teamriders ended up with shots from that session. Stoked!

Then we went down to Max for probably like the 10th time this past week to gear up with another JOSS-Meal, then straight back up to the JOI-kicker right next to the VM6-lift.

The light was EPIC but most of the riders was really tired from the first session so it was a pretty mellow session but we managed to end up with some smooth hangglider shots in the end. Big ups to Pål for operating the hangglider. Hope to get some more help out of him these following days aswell.

Emil Fossheim stopped by and showed his awesome tan after a hard day of shaping. You can't really tell from the picture, but he is RED! Really really RED!

JOSS Day 6

Today we went up the top of Åreskutan where the sleds took us the last way to solravinen and the Step Over Kicker.

The session started off with unsteady weather and clouds coming and going but after a while the conditions were epic.

Too bad the jump didn't work out quite as the riders wanted. The speed was a little bit slow and the landing was hard and icy.
Hopefully things will be better tomorrow when we will give it another try.

Here's a few pics
Met Hampus Mosesson at the top as we waited for the sleds. He was planing on hitting the kicker but didn't. Maybe tomorrow.
Fog and clouds was sweeping over the place in the beginning of the session.
But after the heli flew around a little bit and messed with the clouds the sun could finally come out for real.
Paul, our secret weapon for tomorrow.

Photos from last days urban

Here's some sneak preview pictures from last days urban mission.

High Five!
Sig Tveit is so damn Gangsta I almost crashed my Bentley

Second Hands Golden Air Edit

I just realized that I've forgot to post this edit that I made from the Winter Weekend in Tandådalen about two weeks ago.

I was having a hard time filming the competition since it was poring down rain during the whole event.
A soon as the price ceremony was over, the rain also stopped.

Luckily I managed to get some nice shots during the day when the sun was shining.

Thanks to Adam Falk for helping me with some additional footage.
Also check out SecondHands and keep an eye out for their up and coming projects.

JOSS Day 5

Today has been pretty similar to these last two days.

We started off late in the afternoon again because of last nights late session and went to shoot some more urban stuff.

We managed to hit two different features and I must say that both of them turned out great.
Except for the fact that I fucked up the shot where Andreas stomped the shit out of his trick. I cut his head off.
Probably the worst thing you could do as a cinematographer... Bummer!

Luckily our other filmer Andreas got the shot so It all turned out great in the end but my misstake will NOT happen again!

We also made it back home a lot earlier today. The clock has only turned 04.00 in the morning as I'm writing this. YEAH!

Can't really show you any pics from today since I don't wanna give anything away for the up and coming JOSS Awards.

So everyone who will be in Åre next weekend. Make sure to swing by at Mix Megapol Arena on Saturday at 20.00 where all the teams movies will be shown on the big screen!

Here's some pics from the Supersession page.

Photographer Thomas Kleiven from last years winning team Norway showed up today and documented our urban mission.
Emil and Simon Fossheim are responsible for the shaping ot the features on this years event. Emil is also the guy who gave me the opportunity to join Team Norway as their filmer so a double big up to him!

Clip Of The Week - Dog Attack!

Even though we're on a tight schedule because of the JOSS thing, I still have the time to bring you another episode of Clip Of The Week.

In this weeks clip Anton Gunnarsson shows you how to protect yourself if you ever get attacked by a dog..

JOSS Day 4

The weather continues to be kind of bad, so we went on another urban mission today.

Started off pretty late in the afternoon and only managed to hit one feature, but still the clock has passed 05.00 in the morning today again before we could hit the bed.

DAMN!

Sig Dawg trying out his new pants. Check out the fit!

More urban shieet
We also ran into Henrik Harlaut and Niklas Eriksson from Team Sweden who was hitting the same spot as we did yesterday..


I just let Colby report some more for you about what was going on in Åre today;

Colby West reporting from JOSS

This guy is hilarious!

JOSS Day 3

Today the weather wasn't that great here in Åre, so instead of hitting the hip and the railgarden, we packed our cars and went on a urban mission.

The day turned out pretty good and we got a few more shots in the bag, so I'm stoked but supertired now when I've finally reached the bed about 5 a clock in the morning.

Over and out!

"Hmm, could this be something..?"

JOSS Day 2

I'm so tired right now so this will only be a short update.

Our first day of shooting turned out really good with the riders throwing down big tricks in the big JOI kicker infront of a beautiful sunset and scenery.

Read more about the day on Alexander Aurdals Blog or on Newschoolers.

Now I'm off to bed.
The weather will probably decide for us what we're going to hit tomorrow.

JOSS

Red Bull Homerun

These last few days have been pretty hectic here in Åre.

Bluebird saturday and sunday which meant intense filming.

Yesterday I was hired by Red Bull for shooting their event Red Bull Homerun.

A race from the top of the mountain down to the afterski.

Here's the teaser for the event

Alpine ski racer Hans Olsson won the skiers class and my homeboy Erik Nyllet Nylander won the snowboarding class.
BIG UPS!!

I will post the full length movie from the event when it's ready. Not sure when it's going to be, since i'm not the one doing the editing.

Grinch business

Here's a small edit from Umeå when I was filming with Pirates earlier this winter.

Downtown Umeå on top of a chinese restaurant we managed to get the mean Grinch machine up on the roof.

Hard work but it turned out to be a great session!

Sick session with lots of bangers!
