Hello everybody, this is the film from my last visit in La Grave with skierslodge, hope you like it. it's the first time that I'm making a film, and I'll be happy to have a comments how to do next time better.
Thanks
yariv_har, far too long, try and get it down to around sub 5mins if you want the "public" to watch it - it's a great film for your group to watch as s souvenir, but does get a little frustrating watching people on the traverse again and again, and worse still not skiing Bannane and Les Frieux that well !
But looks like you had great conditions though!
Then you can post your own questions or snow reports...

La Grave isn't La Grave without tree stumps and rocks on the traverse
I actually quite enjoyed it despite it being on the long side. Nice spotting familiar lines
After all it is free

yariv_har, maybe a little long , with too much lying down on the job but a great video of some "real skiing"
La grave does look amazing covered in fresh snow

You had great conditions, good light and a good camera. Your transitions were good, the skiers very capable and you have a good eye. My suggestions for improvement would be:
1) decide who you are making the movie for. A record of your trip is different from a movie for general viewing. The latter needs to be much shorter.
2) try making your movie the length of one track of music. It will make you be brutal about the relevance of a particular clip and you will only use the very best.
3) try to get different perspectives - side on, front on, back static, following to give variety, although that can come at sacrificing a great line or the patience of your friends
4) remember to take lots of rushes - shots of where you are to add atmosphere and help with the story
5) choice of music. Your viewers will have watched pro-videos. To use hard-core music you need hard-core action. Choose music that fits the action, not just your favourite.
Hope this helps and have fun with it. It's a great way to show a trip and fun to put together.

Wow, lucky you: I can't remember any snow that good the last few times I visited. In fact the last time we mostly went with our guide to Serre Chevalier and then climbed about a vertical kilometre to get unskied snow.
And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

thanks for all the comments, and sure that I have full of luck to be in the right time in the right place, also thanks a lot to the skierslodge for the nice hospitality and the wonderful guide Julien
So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

yariv_har, What was the second piece of music, plz?
You know it makes sense.

the second track is from madboojah-madboojah, the track is "laz trans".
Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

http://youtube.com/v/AI1HvVh8Cn4 A video filmed by a Spanish friend on a Grenoble University ski trip on 26th March to arguably the coolest village, including descents of Le Patou et la Banane couloirs. First time there, with powder on the glacier and well skied out snow in the couloirs and Vallons. Surprised how quiet it was and the friendly attitude of everyone.
