COMUNE Visit Mt Bachelor.

Spring Break Mt. Bachelor Expedition. from Kevin Castanheira on Vimeo.

With stunning landscapes, crisp white powder and slick riders, it's never been difficult to make snowboarding videos look impressive. However COMUNE looks like they've raised the bar with some nice framing, lens-flare and focus-shifts, giving their adventures on Mt Bachelor a serene and nostaglic feel. It really feels more about good friends and good times, rather a "OMG LOOK AT THAT AIR!!" Red Bull style video (not that that's a bad thing...). It makes me desperate to go this season.

Bath In Snow

When I was younger I used to make videos all the time and I've really gotten out of shape in the respect. I used to make them of anything, football, playing in the forest, trampoline tricks. I would already have it all planned out in my head as I filmed and spend pain-staking hours inches from a computer screen editing, as I slowly but surely ended up hating whatever song I chose to put behind the visuals. So I'm trying to make a bit of an effort to get back into it, whilst I save up for a camera that is actually decent to film with.



So when I was living in the beautiful and iconic city that is Bath, it began to snow, a lot. How perfect. So I grabbed my camera and rather photogenic girlfriend and headed to the streets, see the results above. Basic but it's good to get back to it.
