The Mountains Are Calling short example from Dane Tudor on Vimeo.


Chapter 1: The Mountains Are Calling
The movie opens with beautiful scenics drone/tripod shots of the mountains, forest, peaks, rivers and streams, wind blowing across the snow and swaying trees.  Incorporating natural sound design to give the feeling that the mountains are calling.  The draw, m
agnetic pull, visuals of the mountains.

Dialogue Scene 
We are then introduced to Dane and Simon as they travel to the mountains, we get our first look into their thought process as they communicate their thoughts and excitement about the mountains as well as Danes background when he was Simons age entering the filming world, Simon shares his thoughts and goals for his skiing. 
This scene will be shot similar to a real hollywood movie with lots of changing angles, up close and wide angles of Dane and Simon, moving back and forth between who ever is talking.  Wide angle from the back and from the dash where you can see both Dane and Simon.  Drone shot where you can see through the front window.

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.

Chapter 4:  It’s not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.  Sir Edmund Hilary.​​
Dialogue scene 3
Similar style of filming of Dane and Simon as they communicate their draw/attraction to big terrain.  Why they find big gnarly walls attractive and what it takes to access and ski these big lines.
For Dane this is an interesting topic as his mind state centers around safety and longevity, yet he finds his thoughts contradicting with his attraction to large technical and aesthetic walls.
