The start of 2018

Well, its the new year, and I’ve just returned from a hectic 10 day shoot in Queenstown for Red Bull. Our plan was to bring together 4 of the worlds best BMX riders together, and one freestyle mountain biker, for an epic 7 days of shooting/filming around the Queenstown area, prior to the bi-annual Farm Jam competition in Winton. We based ourself out of the Red Bull base camp house, located in inner Queenstown, and spent our days jamming as much as we could into everyday, and then as much as we could during the night too. Needless to say there were a few sore heads as well as sore bodies. Riding skateparks, bungy jumping, luging, wake skating behind a brand new speedboat in Wanaka, Riding trails, the list goes on and on. I was principal camera/director, and Miles Holden and Graeme Murray were brought on as photographers. Heath Patterson shot second camera on his RED Dragon and Ronin 2 for a jam at gorge road, as well as Farm Jam, and Toby Wilson manned the DJI Inspire 2, and FS7 for cutaways at Farm Jam as well. The Farm Jam action clips are being edited by Trinity Ludlow, for Red Bull, and I’m working on a seperate lifestyle piece which will be exclusively online. I returned with almost 3 terrabytes of footage, so it’s taking a bit of time to log and ingest it all. Everything shot on RED, being edited in premiere and onlined in Resolve. Will be sure to post the clips when they’re finished, but for now, check out all the action from Farm Jam over on the Red Bull NZ website here, and a couple of B-Roll pics courtesy of Graeme Murray, Jason Watts and Kris Fox checking the footy, and Jason Watts with a Euro gap into Queenstown bowl.
