2 First Tracks videos getting some love…

The pride we get from doing a good job and knowing we did a good job is all well and good. But at the same time, it’s a cool feeling when our work is recognized by our peers. Our egos need some love too. So, we’re pretty stoked that 2 videos that First Tracks recently produced have received some really positive recognition:

In February, First Tracks produced a video on the opening of the Burton-Star Wars park at Sierra-at-Tahoe — an amazing experience that introuduces little ones to the sport of snowboarding in a fun and unique fashion. Ski Area Management, an industry/trade magazine, highlighted this video (one of only 4 videos they recognized positively) and labeled it the “Heartwarming Video of the Year.” You can see the video here:

Also in February, First Tracks produced a video to help get some attention for a great non-profit, SkiDUCK. The video — a parody of the song “I’ve Been Everywhere” changed to “I’ve Skied Everywhere” — will be showcased at the National Ski Area Association’s annual conference in San Antonio this month. Not going to make it to the conference? No worries.You can see the video here:

I’ve Skied Everywhere, Man

You know that old line, love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life? Well, that fits for this video. This was a fun one to put together. Clint from SkiDUCK came to me with an idea to help promote a new Facebook App that would in turn help promote SkiDUCK. His idea, was to rewrite the lyrics to “I’ve Been Everywhere” to “I’ve Skied Everywhere”. And, from that concept, we turned out this really fun edit featuring footage we’ve shot over the last couple of years.
