Bit later than planned, but episode 7 is finally coming together, with filming wrapping up this weekend and the video will be coming online in the next few weeks, keep checking this space!

Wakemag Episode 6

Episode 6 finally online! A little change from usual, instead of lots of little vids, this episode we bring you just one big one - Scenes, Pilchard's cable film from 2009. Enjoy!

Back to normal for episode 7, available end of July (ish!).

Shapers Life Episode 5 - Gangsta

Taking a break from the park, we visited a friend's house with it's own home-made garden jib park for a night session with a bit of tounge-in-cheek gangsta action.

Shapers Life Episode 3 - Rookie Ski Comp

The park held a small local ski comp in the park in mid-January. The comp had to take place on the smaller medium-line because of bad weather but still went down well. I did some filming in between re-shaping of the competition run.

Shapers Life Episode 2 - Sponsor Shooting

At the end of January Q-Parks held a shoot in the Planai park to create some promotional vids for the Planai website. Pilchard Productions tagged along and did a bit of moviefilming of the proceedings.
