PROCESS

FILMMAKERRIDERCOMPOSER

Everything starts with an idea. Groundwork and checking the gear make sure the journey runs safely without unnecessary hassle. Then into the terrain. Food and kit in the backpack, camera and drone along for the ride. Frost, wind and changing conditions are part of it — they make the journey a journey. Back home, the sauna heats up. After resting comes editing and polishing your own tracks for the video soundtrack. Hard work, but always worth every kilometre.
