The Moments in-between
We find our selfs drifting.
Depth of mind.
Honing mental mind state.
Shots of Dane and Simon looking out to the mountains, sitting in the trailer staring at the fire, stretching in the trailer and in the mountains. Zoning out. Transition into dynamic moving shots of the mountains, forest, rivers, lakes and skiing shots in quick moving editing to get the feeling of a drifting mind state.

2ND STEP,
THE PROJECT ESTIMATE.
The project estimate is a very important part of the process as there is a fixed budget that needs to be adhered to.
One must contact the available videographers and negotiate the filming rate.
Decide on the amount of trips and number of days one would like to film throughout the season.
Add up the total time and keep the filming costs to a set budgeted amount. Be sure to write up a clearly laid out contract so both parties know what to expect.
Then reach out to all other independent contractors to estimate costs such as sound design, editing, graphics, etc.
I use the prior years numbers to help estimate things such as, food, travel, accommodation.

3RD STEP,
EDIT VIDEO, CREATE SOCIAL ASSETS,
UPLOAD TO GOOGLE DRIVE AND PRIVATE VIMEO LINK
I like to start the editing process during the winter, each day when the footage is logged I sort the footage on a timeline and start to cut the video together as a rough cut. This helps immensely when I sit down to start the actual editing process in the spring as I don't need to spend extra hours sorting and outlining the footage.
4TH STEP,
CONTACT & SECURE MUSIC LICENSING
This step is usually done in conjunction with the editing process.
There are numerous music licensing websites out there so this requires a lot of search time to find the right music for you.
If you've found music you like through Spotify that isn't on a music licensing site, one can reach out to the artist via facebook, sound cloud, or contact the artist directly off their website.
Negotiate price with the artists management.
License music for youtube/vimeo in perpetuity and 1 year festival rights.

6TH STEP,
DROP A TRAILER IF YOU HAVE ONE
When it comes to the trailer release, it's good to have all your assets organized and ready for posting. I like to use google drive to house the assets which are organized in folders based on the content. Images, instagram videos, full trailer, video description.
It's also good to reach out to the distribution partners, outline the trailer release and share the google drive folder with them so they can be ready to post the content on the release date.
