Dendrite Studios is proud to release the official trailer for our debut 2010 HD ski film “Out of the Shadows.” We at Dendrite are in the full on post production process now as we piece together the individual segments. We are stoked on the feel and uniqueness of the trailer and you’ll see more of that in the film. Out of the Shadows is a ski film produced without a budget, but with a lot of passion. Enough talk, here’s the trailer.
Proudly shot in the mountains of British Columbia, Out of the Shadows features the finest athletes who have been in the shadows for too long. This is their shot and their opportunity to break out on film. They bring their lives with them and shred the mountains with un-inhibited passion on a daily basis. We bring you their stories.
Featuring the return of PY Leblanc, the forgotten legend Chris Turpin, World Champion Brett Crabtree, Swedish sensation Jon Larsson, and a giant swarm of new comers including Maxim Arsenault, Eliel Hindert, Christian Boucher, Dave Treadway, Mathieu Gagnon Theirault, Ian Cheddar Watson, Dave Gheriani, Adam Topshee, Alex Blais, Athan Merrick, Jake Cohn, Matt Elliot, and Matty Richard.
This is a brief announcement to share some stoke. I just found out that my entry to the Telus Ski and Snowboard Festival’s Re:Action portrait contest has been accepted as a finalist and will be on display throughout the festival. The winner will be announced at the Pro Photo Showdown..which you should go to anyways, because it is going to be unreal. All the photogs in that comp have some serious nugs in their portfolio and I’m sure the shows will be amazing.
The Re:Action photo comp asked photogs to submit 1 portrait image, and I went with one of Leo Ahrens shot down in Utah, about 1 month ago. Check out the show to see the shot yourself!
Our 6th Perspectives clip is online and ready for your viewing pleasure. ‘Ten Year’s outlines the abilities of Chris Turpin and Eliel Hindert with their smooth and playful styles and a ten year age difference. Russell Beer is the presenting sponsor for this clip and everyone should check out their brewskis because they are tasty and local. The new Rocky Mountain Pilsner kills it.
The Perspectives series of web clips are about providing viewers with small amounts of eye candy on a regular basis as we lead up to the release of our debut film dropping in Fall 2010. A full teaser will be out in the next couple of months as well, so stay tuned for that and more Perspectives.
Perspectives #6 can be seen below or, along with #1-5, over on our videos page.

We are also less than 1 week away from our film shoot at Selkirk Wilderness Skiing. Joining the production team of Athan and Nic will be Brett Crabtree, Chris Turpin, Eliel Hindert and Max Arsenault. We look forward to bringing you some quality content from this trip.
This Perspectives is presented by Pointofviewcameras.ca. Without their assistance we would not have these fun shots. Visit our video page to see Perspectives 1-3.
Perspectives #3 is a now online. It is a behind the scenes look at Day 1 of the Deep Winter Photo Challenge, held in Whistler in early January, 2010. Dendrite co-founder Nicolas Teichrob was one of the invited photographers and took home 3rd place behind Paul Morrison and Jordan Manley. Athan Merrick came along during the first day to record some of the skiing that went down.
So last week I spent the majority of my time shooting or editing photos. I was an invited photographer for the 2010 Deep Winter Photo Challenge put on by Whistler Blackcomb. I was stoked to get an invite and worked hard to make sure I represented my style of photography. I had so much fun over the 4 days of the event and despite some stresses, I’d do it again any time I have the chance. I took home 3rd place, $1000, and most importantly, I was able to present my style of photography to a large audience. Unfortunately, the sound techs were not on the ball during the event and the sound for my show (which ran first) was way too quiet. Hopefully I can get the show online and you can crank the sound in the comfort of your own home.
I shot with Matty Richard and Matt Elliot, both Rossignol riders and both rippers. My game plan was to use my creativity as a way to shoot every single action shot in a different way. I utilized a few techniques I’ve practiced while shooting mountain biking and others that I tried for the first time and they worked great. A bunch of these unique shots will have to remain off line until printed in the magazine, but here is a sample of some of shots from the event. Stay posted for Perspectives #3 which will provide a behind the scenes look at Day 1 of the event. Thanks to Matty and Matt for skiing hard the whole time and getting up early and staying up later to get the lifestyle images I was after. Dylan Dunkerton also came up to Whistler to help with some editing…although his computer crapped out Wednesday morning but we managed to run final cut on another comp. thanks for the help Dyl, and thanks to Stevo for constructing the music from scratch.
