A new series for The North Face Japan is now on-line for viewing! Called Mountain Basics, Vol. 1 is focused on Mt Fuji. Locals guides talk about why they love the mountain and what you need to be prepared to hike Japans highest peak. It is very basic information so those who already enjoy trekking and hiking will probably not be interested in the info provided, but there are some nice views of Mt. Fuji and it never hurts to review the basics!

Trip Your Travel movie taking off
Very happy with the reception that “Trip Your Travel” movie is getting on The North Face YouTube channel! This is something new for me, a project non winter related, non snowboarding related, non Car Danchi related etc., This is a fashion based movie made to promote a line of clothing by The North Face, but you won’t really know it until the end. If you like California, travel, West coast lifestyle etc., take 10 minutes to check it out! Also check out the great music from Ted Russel Kamp and Clint Lapointe that I was able to use for the soundtrack.

Kodeshi Web and Interview series
I have been working on a project that involves interviewing 7 different and unique athletes and opinion leaders who all have one thing in common. They use a technology called Kodenshi in the clothes they wear. It is a ceramic fiber that is woven into material and used in various clothing items. The fibers reflect your body heat back to you and there by keeping you warmer. Pretty tech stuff, but I will leave the selling to the sales people. Basically I did the interviews with the athletes except for the first one with Miura Yuichiro which you can watch below. Okazaki Tomoko was kind enough to help out and interview the legend Skier! Check it out and for the rest of this month there will be one new interview dropping each week on Thursdays!

Outdoor with an arty twist
Arty little clip from a climbing trip with the TNF team. Nice narration. How come British accents work so well for narrations?
