This page contains a description of the film and video documentary productions offered in skiing, rock and ice climbing and paragliding, creating low cost simple projects.
VIDEO & PHOTOGRAPHY DOCUMENTARY:
Since learning to ice climb twenty five years ago, Jeff has practiced the sport with an almost religious reverence, with hundreds of ascents spanning many continents. He now brings this experience and knowledge with him, accompanying climbers to routes in the Telluride, Silverton, and Ouray areas, and documenting the ascents by creating short true to life videos.
VIDEO AND PHOTOGRAPHY DOCUMENTARY:
Video captures the fluid motion and beauty of skiing better than almost any other sport. Combine this with the unmatched scenery of the San Juans, and there lies potential for an exceptional personal skiing documentary. From skinning up, digging avalanche pits and of course making tracks in fresh powder the story of a backcountry ski day is a classic short project.
VIDEO AND PHOTOGRAPHY DOCUMENTARY:
Rock climbing, from bouldering and indoor climbing walls, to multipitch desert towers and big walls, all present a canvas on which to create amazing documentary work. Near to Telluride rise the desert sandstone red walls of Indian Creek and the clean solid granite of The Black Canyon of the Gunnison and the Ophir Wall. Utilizing the intensity of climbing and the incredible scenic beauty of climbing locations, small documentary projects call out to be created.
PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO DOCUMENTARY:
Using in house editing and post, simple one and two camera shooting, and limiting the amount of tape shot, the goal is to produce short and cost effective videos. Bigger, longer projects are of course considered, but the concept of accompanying skiers and climbers on simple day trips, and producing short, simple documentaries is the vision. Also combining several sports in a week visit to the Telluride region is possible, such as skiing one day, ice climbing the next two, and then paragliding tandem at the end of the week, and creating an adventure week video.
With rock climbing photography Jeff learned how an image could capture the moment so completely. Later he experimented with the ease and simplicity of bringing a video camcorder on backcountry ski trips and ice climbing. Ice and rock climbing projects have the added challenge of the slow and static nature of their movement. Both climbing and skiing share the natural beauty of their location and position, but skiing videography fully utilizes the dynamic nature of motion pictures, and with today's technology, experience, and new medias, documentary video is more accessible and has more potential than before dreamed of. 
Let it be clear that this is not a guide service for skiing and climbing. Participants should expect to be competent and knowledgeable in whatever endeavors they wish to document. It can be expected that for every day of acquiring material in the field will require two to three times that editing, although simpler more basic final projects will be available, with much less time and expense. It should also be noted that while Jeff is not an accomplished mountain bike rider or kayaker, he does participate in both and is happy to consider projects including either sport.
