Hi there !!

As you may know, we gave our Film on Friday 15th of February, (18h00) to the organization...

It's fine, but not really as we wanted to do...
So we are making the director's cut : the very final version with all the details we liked to have (perfect sound design, a bit more of pure footages etc...)

Unfortunatly, it takes more time to make it happen, so the Final Cut of the film will be available on the Petzl Team website, around the first week of March... So stay tuned for the final version !!!!
Otherwise, if you want to watch the others films of the competition : go to the Outdoorgames website.


Every team made a great job in only 5 days, everybody tried to make a real movie with synopsis, instead of only put sound on footages to make a video clip... The team "Ride the planets" (who won the 1st price) made a very good job with animated draws... Big Time ! They also shot Christophe Dumarest & Aymeric Clouet in the "Eperon frendo", a 1200m mixed route, on the North Face of the "Aiguille du Midi".


I really would like, (as a director) to thank to ALL the TEAM who really got involved in the project...
It's sometimes harder to be an actor than to be an elite athlete !!...
But they stayed very motivated and interrested all this week, so that was a very unique experience for me to follow this guys and try to make them go where I wanted they go....


A quick presentation of the MedeO Team (from left to right and up to bottom)
> Liv Sansoz : Our "Mountain Girl", 2 times Sport Climbing World Champion, who made some mountaineering shot during the week.
> Vivien Doti : Snowboard freerider, who played in the "Nuit de la Glisse" movie...
> Matt Gerdes : Ozone Paragliding pilot test, who BASE jumped for the team.
> Guillaume Broust : Directing from the red T-shirt...
> Erwan Lelann : Our Moutain Guide who also filmed some good shots as a cameraman.
> Tony Lamiche : Our main character, thanks to him for his motivation !
> Denis Steinberg : From the MedeO video production company, they brought a LOT of professional video equipment... That really helped us a lot, to make it happen whitout I.T bugs !! (The worst thing you can imagine in such a tiny timing...)
> Antoine Boisselier : The speedrider dude, who is also 2 times Hanggliding France Champion.
> Guillaume Chatain : Our tandem paragliding guy, who launched Matt Gerdes a couple of time. Also very strong in speedriding & acro paragliding.
> Martial Dumas : The moutain guide who belayed Liv Sansoz. Martial played on the Azazel and Baffin movies. He also opened a new route in "the DRUS" last year. It's called "La Voie des Papas".
> Mati Imbert : The Freestyler/rider skier, who left the wenesday night for Nepal... It's too bad we could not make more footages of him, but a huge tkanks to him for beeing part of the team...
> Sebastien Balme : My personnal editor, who make a really big work in only 3 days to edit this movie... I guess he is still tired about this 3 last days!!...
We had 3 people more who were on the project :
> Bertrand Delapierre, our moutain cameraman,
> Chris Denizot, our sound designer.
> Felix Rodriguez, our special acro paragliding guest....




Thanks to this team, we did a very big job in only 5 days, and if you didn't watch our movie yet, I advice you to wait till beginning of March to have the final cut of the film....



You can still watch the photo selection of Tony, the 20 photos he had to make in only 5 days...
The hardtime for him was to following us and trying to shoot the pictures while we shot the film. It's always very complicated to match the video shoot and the photo shoot in a same time.
But I guess he will present you his project when we will upload the final version of the movie....





So stay tuned on the Petzl Team to see our 5 days' project !!
All the best
Guillaume.
