Shoot To Thrill 2008

Gonella — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 09:55:07 +0000

You might remember from last year we posted about the Canadian Shoot to Thrill held by Color Magazine and Red Bull. The event is a little similar to Document Magazine’s Big Push, the 10 Canadian teams scattered around the country have 72 hours to film a video part with 10 rolls of film…pretty amazing. This year’s entrants are are great mix of skating and cinematic stories and all are worth a watch, in particular the Vancouver entry by (French) Fred Mortagne featuring Rick McCrank, Bradley Sheppard and Torey Goodall, beautifully shot with an artistic and original twist:

Here is the winning entry from Surrey, British Columbia, by Ben Stoddard featuring Paul Machnau, Magnus Hanson and Ryan Decenzo:
