Who, this is one of my favourite snowboard movies. Nowerdays you have to be very creative if you want to impress the viewer, now that there are a lot of very good snowboarder out there. Mike Benson had a great Idea and just add motion work in his video. Enjoy

Knife Show Inc and friends uncover a strange phenomenon at Timberline Lodge at Mt Hood. Snowboarding video takes place in and out of High Cascade Summer Camp. Shot and edited by Mike Benson. Starring Brendan Hayes, Eli weiner, Scott Stevens, Chris Beresford, Matty Mo, Jesse Burtner, and Casey Wrightsman. KNIFESHOWINC.COM

I immediately fell in love with this video when i heared that they used one of my favourite songs. The band is called "MGMT" with their song "Kids".

It's a great GREAT video, but I'm afraid this effect is getting as popular as the glossy web 2.0 buttons. I want to learn it too. And it's a matter of time till someone does a tutorial and everyone will do things with this effect.
Anyway, I like how this video looks! :)
