Harlan Ellison – Pay the Writer
[YouTubeUlar] <— 524,719
Need some balls to justify your freelance ability to do anything? Remember these words of Harlan Ellison... this is your answer.
“All you got to do is pay me. Everybody else may be an asshole but I’m not. By what right would you call me and ask me to work for nothing? Do you get a paycheck? Does your boss get a paycheck? Do you pay the telecine guy? Do you pay the camera men? Do you pay the cutters? Do you pay the teamsters when they shlep your stuff on the trucks? Would you go a gas station and ask to give you free gas? Would you go to the doctor and have them take out your spleen for nothing? How dare you call me and what me to work for nothing…
…there is no publicity value. The only value for me, is if you put money in my hand.
I don’t take a piss without getting paid for it.
I get so angry about this because you undercut by all the amateurs. It’s the amateurs who make it tough for all the professionals.”
Now that we have that clear… lets talk about some creative thinking.
Level 1 – After Dark Trailer
[Vimeo] <— 104,000
Hey Josh... thanks for dropping this on my wall and informing me of Level 1 Productions latest creation. Upon first watch... I have to say this is a very dark teaser. Since the name of the video this year is After Dark – I’m going to let if fly.
I counted 5 *holy shit* moments – 4 *what the* moments – and 20 different rewinds to figure out what in the hell is going on. Favorite shot is at 1:20 – looks like a quarter to reverse quarter transfer… so sick.
Level 1 – After Dark – Parker White Triple
[Vimeo Link] <— 86,500
“Believe the hype! Triples are the new hot thing in skiing. Not wanting to be left out and to push himself to the max, P White went after it this past week and stomped a triple of his own. Check the full shot and TONS more in Level 1′s forthcoming flick, “After Dark,” dropping September 9th, 2011.”
Only one question coming from me. Where is the Volcano?
Level 1 — Parker White Does Japan
[iDevice Link] <— 5,467
Straight from the horses mouth... can't wait to see more skiing content drop regarding Level 1's new movie "After Dark."
“Monster athlete Parker White made his way to Hokkaido, Japan with Level 1 for two weeks in February to chase pow, pillows, and Japanese schoolgirls. The crew saw as much sun as snow for the duration of the trip, but a few smaller cycles dumped enough snow to make it all worthwhile. Parker gives us the rundown on his first experience in the Land of the Rising Sun, and a look at some of the B-shots and outtakes. Stay tuned for more updates, info, and behind-the-scenes antics from Level 1′s Fall 2011 release, “After Dark.”

Warren Miller is Free Again
It’s been a long time coming — but now it’s final. Warren Miller officially owns his own name again. He just needs to stay away from using it around skiing. What does this mean? It means… that even though Warren Miller Entertainment (the film company) may have won the battle. Warren Miller (the man) won the war.
Here is a recap of what began last year beginning with the release of Level 1 Productions 10th film Refresh.
Continuing forward – lets start a link trail.

Josh Berman on Level 1 Eye Trip Premier
Taken from Skinet’s five question interview with Josh Berman…
“What is your last thought as the lights go out to begin a world premier of one of your movies?
I hope the computer doesn’t crash in the middle of the screening.”
I would have to agree with Josh – since this is going to be one of my computers and I will be quicktime command-f’ing it to the projector. This will be another hugely successful fun time tonight in Denver. See you there.

Level 1 Refresh Intro Segment from Level 1 on Vimeo.
The intro segment for Level 1′s 2009 release, Refresh!
About Refresh:
10 years deep and still not satisfied –
Never before has the sport of skiing changed and progressed so much, so quickly, as it has over the past decade. With changes in equipment, accessibility of terrain, and most importantly the mindset of some of the world’s best athletes, skiing today is not what it once was… An integral part of these recent changes, Level 1 looks back and challenges perspectives of where the sport has come from, and where it’s going in their tenth-anniversary offering, “Refresh.” Keeping true to their humble roots while exploring every arena that skiing has to offer the Level 1 crew serves up the most diverse ski entertainment to date. New things will never get old- fresh images of big jumps, deep powder, technical urban exploits, steep lines, and memorable terrain park action with a collection of the sport’s best and brightest talent.
