Please help kuske win some cash!
All you guys out there who watched, laughed at, cried to and were enchanted by this year’s Random Bastards snowboardfilm ”Tentacle” should get your lazy fingers over to this contest on tacky.se and like the hell out of his video: Dirty North
Hey, come on! You got the Tentacle for free, what a perfect way for you to show your appreciation.
If you don’t do it, you are personally responsible for robbing kuske of his food (read: beer) for the rest of this season. That would be a shame wouldn’t it?
I appreciate your effort!

Kuske’s 2011-season
It’s that time of the year… All the major film titles has landed, and the filmers are finally starting to show what they did last winter!
The man, the myth, the legendarily bearded-and-allround-handsome-guy Kuske recently dropped this recap of his 2011-season. You should check it out!
In my opinion, no one has a better feeling for what makes a snowboardfilm than Kuske. The way he samlessly stiches together good music with the best shots… dang!
Wonder if I’ll get around to making my own recap… we’ll see!
Snöyran 2011 – full production!
Finally done with my latest project: Snöyran 2011 – the ”official” edit. Check it out below!
If you’re wondering about the coloring, I applied a simple cross-processing technique I wrote about in my earlier post.
Also got some sweet EGO-pics from photographer Daniel Olausson. Super nice fellow I met during the shoot! Thanks Daniel!
In the pics you can see pretty much the full setup I shot the whole video with. Loving the Swedish Chameleon Rig!
Thanks for this time Gällivare! Hope to see more of you someday!
Snöyran snowcamp edit
Here’s the first edit from Snöyran Snowboardcamp I filmed last weekend in Gällivare. It was a fun, chill few days filled with lots of friends.
I saw that Eric Johansson posted a photo on facebook of the gang with the description ”Class reunion”, and it really feels like that when filming with Lemke and the northern boys. Hope to hang around with them some more this winter!
What’s unusual for me with filming this edit is that I only used handheld DSLR. No tripod, dolly or crane. I also used only three lenses: The samyang 14mm f/2,8; a nikkor 35mm f/2; and a nikkor 50mm f/2. I could never do this without my Swedish Chameleon DSLR Rig, and the big hardcase to fit all my stuff.
As you can see I also used my beloved furry mic. DSLRs mostly won’t give you pro audio, but it sure helps with stereo and a decent windstopper! I also had good use of my DÖRR LED-panel when filming the after party. Not so sure everyone enjoyed it at the club though.
There will be one more edit coming from the main event. I’ll post that later. And if you’re wondering about the colours in this edit, I simply applied a ”cross process effect” using this tutorial for photoshop, but applying it in After Effects:
Snöyran day 4
I think it’s quite amazing that I’m actually doing this post from the night train from Gällivare to Uppsala – going straight through the middle of nowhere! Doing this a few years ago would be a fantasy, just like the iPad I’m using to write it… Well, enough nerdtalk.
Today was the last day of shooting Snöyran, the big winter festival in Gällivare. I’ve been contracted to make two edits from the event, and have been been filming for four days.
Last night there was some serious partying going down, so many of the boys weren’t really up for shredding. I also had some other stuff to shoot downtown (speeches, markets and xmas activities) so it wasn’t such a big loss. I left them a brocam and went by myself to shoot santa, kids, horses and more kids. Maybe not exactly what I’d call my ordinary mission, but I got some shots well serving the purpose. See some framegrabs below.
Above: The stand with the free Hot dogs were easily the biggest attraction today.
Below: Speaking of dogs, this dude had parked right on the sidewalk, not giving à f*ck.
The two edits are coming up sooner rather than later, so keep your heads up!
So long! /Petter
Snöyran dag 3
Today we tasted the bitterness of Berit. She came storming in causing rain, snow and harsh winds. But it turned out pretty well in the end after all! The weather tidied up just in time for freestyle night. See some framegrabs from today below. More will come tomorrow when I’m on my 14 h trainride back home again!
Snöyran day 2
Today was the second day of filming Snöyran in Gällivare. Pretty much the whole day was one serious blizzard, which is precisely what we needed! Winter came to Gällivare just in time…
Sadly we also had some serious crashes during the test-jumping of the snowmobile-jump. The first guy flew too far and got himself a back injury and a dislocated elbow, then the second guy came short and broke his wrist… Now two out of three slednecks are out, but the last one keeps it up with good spirits, and has already impressed me with some crazy air!
The freestyle motocross dudes also made it look so easy.. I just don’t get how you’d get the courage to do what they do!
I’m sorry about the crappy light in the framegrabs. Hopefully we’ll have better light tomorrow!
Mostly I spent the day shooting stocks, but we also had some time to play in the park and shoot some epic lifestyleeee… See some framegrabs from today below!
If you’re anywhear near Gällivare, make sure you don’t miss the Freestyle Night tomorrow. There’ll be a heck of a party, and if that’s not enough, you’ll also get a chance to see me in action! 
I’ll let everyone’s favourite German end this update. A word of advice… Beware when Klas Ink is drunk/in action! Excited to see the result tomorrow!
Snöyran day 1
I’m in Gällivare baby yeah! First day of shooting the event Snöyran.
I’m way too tired to actually make a serious blog entry, so I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. Brief summary of the day though: Went on the train for 14 hours with Rolf, went sightseeing in Gällivare, hung around Dundret (local resort), filmed ”World Cup Kidz”, filmed opening ceremony downtown, went to film at the indoor skate park.
Some still frames in no particular order:
Good night Gällivare!

Alot of exciting stuff is going down the coming week. It really feels like winter will finally be here! Today is the annual Transition Winter Awards – and many of my dear friends are nominated:
Rolf Nylinder and Viktor Wiberg – Railripper of the year
Viktor Wiberg – Rookie of the year
Kire – Rider of the year
Tove Holmgren – Female parkshredder of the year
Also nominated is the one and only Kuske as filmer of the year, and RANDOM BASTARDS as entrepreneurs of the year! I’d say the odds for a great party are good! I’ll be tweeting the awards ceremony live so, if you don’t already, follow me on twitter: @PetterSchanche
Also going down this week is the first filming-trip of the season! Yes that’s right, yours truly is going to the capitol of kok-kaffe, Gällivare! An event called Snöyran is taking place there the 24th-27th, and I’ve been called up to hang out and film the good times. It’s gonna be awesome!

See you tonight?
RB Tentacle!
Just realized I hadn’t posted this yet! Random Bastards released their latest film Tentacle for free streaming/download this week. I think it’s a killer film, with probably some of the sickest, most technical streetriding you’ve ever seen. Make sure you don’t miss it! Have a warm nice cup of coffee, sit back and of course enjoy the film in full-screen HD!
I’ve been filming with the RB-crew alot this past winter. It’s been a whole lot of fun, and I hope this upcoming winter will be as kick-ass as the last two. I’ve got quite a few shots in this film – but I’ve got to give it up for Kuske and Claes who’ve done a heck of a job putting it all together. Kuske is the man when it comes to editing – notice how he seamlessly stiches parts and music together. At one point I believe he actually uses three different versions of the same song (starts with Hasses part). And I can’t say I’ve ever seen an actionsportsfilm with a soundtrack containing Backstreet Boys… yet so well done! I laughed so hard when I saw it the first time. Claes is killing it with his 3D-magic. Do you like the 3D-tentacles and graphics in this film? Then you’ve got to check out his site, he’s worked with some seriuos big hitters in the past.
But anyhow! Now that Tentacle has dropped, I’m eagerly awaiting the release of Pirates Movie Production – Bottom Line (I’m supposed to have some shots in there too!). I’m afraid it won’t be released for free though, and I can’t figure out how to trick iTunes to think I’m an american (iTunes isn’t open for films in Sweden), so I guess I’ll have to order the DVD-booklet.
I’ve been working on my reel, but I can’t release it until these two films have had their go – so when Bottom Line drops I’ll be ready to go! Stay tuned!
RB Tentacle Update #2 Norrland!
Here’s the second update for the upcoming Random Bastards Tentacle snowboardfilm. Don’t miss the premiere party september 30th in Stockholm!
This update is different from the first one. Mainly because I simply didn’t have as much time to put into this one, since the premiere is closing in.
The update was filmed this spring in the northern parts of sweden: Umeå and Klimpfjäll. I’ve been wanting to share some of this material for so long! It was easily the most fun I’ve had while filmed so far… Hanging out with the full RB-crew in their own back yard… so many fun, creative spots! Even the backcountry kickers were actually ”urban” tow-ins in a gravel pit!
Equipment and gear used during the filming of this update:
Camera: Canon Eos 7D (Also a 5D for some timelapses), shot on 720p50
Lenses: Samyang 8mm f3,5; Samyang 14mm f2,8; Tamron 28-70mm f2,8; Lensbaby composer with creative aperture kit.
Tripod: Manfrotto 545 tripod with 503 Video head
Dolly: DIY dolly
Jib/Crane: Hague K8 HDV Boom
Lights: 2x Red Head 800W and some construction lights 500W
Other: LCD Viewfinder
Edited in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and Adobe After Effects CS5 with plugins: Magic Bullet Colorista Free.
RB Tentacle Update #1 Stockholm
So this is what I’ve been working on lately, the first of two video updates for the new Random Bastards full length Snowboardfilm: TENTACLE, dropping this fall.
When editing I take inspiration from the music I choose. This time it’s on the border to plagiarism;) check out the original Aphex Twin ”Windowlicker” musicvideo below. It’s one of my absolute favorites.
OBS! The actual music video starts at 4:17, and is NSFW!
The face-warp effect was achieved in Adobe After Effects, using Andrew Kramer’s Demon Face Warp tutorial.
Another plugin I used alot (perhaps a bit too much) was Optical Flares, a plugin for After Effects also by Andrew Kramer.
Equipment and gear used during the filming of this update:
Camera: Canon Eos 7D, mostly shot on 720p50
Lenses: Samyang 8mm f3,5; Samyang 14mm f2,8; Tamron 28-70mm f2,8; Lensbaby composer with creative aperture kit; nikkor 35mm f2,0; nikkor 50mm f2,0; nikkor 24mm f2,5; Sigma 10-20 f4,0-5,6.
Tripod: Manfrotto 545 tripod with 503 Video head
Dolly: DIY dolly
Jib/Crane: Hague K8 HDV Boom
Lights: 3x Red Head 800W, 4x55W Fluorescent lamp and some construction lights 500W

Edited in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and Adobe After Effects CS5 with plugins: Magic Bullet Colorista Free and Optical Flares.
Tentacle teaser!
And so it has dropped! The teaser for the new Random Bastards snowboardfilm ”Tentacle”, edited by the one and only Kuske!
This is where most of my footage from this year will drop, you can already see a whole bunch of shots in the teaser. In the upcoming weeks I’ll also post some official Tentacle updates, one from Stockholm and one from Umeå. So join Rolf below and keep a look out for the TENTACLE!
Sketchy snowboarding?
I’ve been wanting to try this technique out for very long but never got around to do it – until yesterday. Kind of funny that my last post was about HDR-timelapse, and then this which is kind of the exact opposite…
What do you think? Personally i kinda like it!
Premiere: ”A Fistful of Dice”!
So here it is! My latest project: ”A Fistful of Dice”. In the film you can see the Johannesson brothers Mattias and Fredrik as duelling cowboy shredders!
If you don’t get the concept, or just want to hear the awesome explanation by an awesome dude, check the info-video below! And don’t forget to visit shredordice.com to order your own set of dice.
Premiär för ”A Fistful Of Dice” imorgon 3:e Maj kl. 15:00!
Imorgon (3:e Maj) klockan 15:00 kommer du kunna spana in mitt senaste projekt: ”A Fistful Of Dice” bland annat här på schanche.se!
Filmen spelades in i samband med den officiella releasen av snowboardtärningarna Shred Or Dice i Idre fjäll för ungefär en månad sedan. Samtidigt som filmen släpps lanseras också www.shredordice.com på nytt med egen fräsch webshop så du kan skaffa dina egna tärningar.
Alltså läge att hålla utkik här och/eller på facebook imorgon klockan 15:00! Boom!
Snart dags för ännu en premiär: ”A Fistful Of Dice”
Nu är det högsäsong för redigering! Snart blir det dags för mitt nästa videosläpp: ”A fistful of dice” (a.k.a. Shred Or Dice Promo). Färdigställandet av filmen innebar mycket tidskrävande färgkorrigering och bildmanipulering… se stillbilderna nedan!

Ovan: Cowboy nummer 2, Mattias Johannesson
Filmpremiär: Monokel – ”A Day At The Office”
Nu är den här! Med pompa och ståt presenterar vi den första editen för det nya eyewear-märket Monokel. I filmen ser du åkning (och fantastiskt skådespel) från teamåkarna: Viktor Wiberg, Philip Grund, Fredrik Rasmussen och Rolf Nylinder.
Missa inte att gå in på deras nya hemsida som också stoltserar med en egen webshop! www.monokel-eyewear.com
Imorgon klockan 15:00 smäller det!
Igår (inatt) satt jag uppe med mina kära vänner på Monokelkontoret till klockan fem på morgonen och gjorde klart Monokels Team Edit! Filmen har fått titeln ”A Day At The Office” och kommer alltså släppas imorgon klockan 15:00 tillsammans med Monokels nya hemsida och webshop! Filmen kommer du kunna se här, men också på deras hemsida som öppnar samtidigt.
För er som inte vet så är alltså Monokel ett nystartat svenskt eyewear-märke. Det är samma gäng bakom som tidigare kallade sig TPP – men stilen har ändrats från crazy och färgsprakande till stilrent och värdigt.
Bakombilder och actionbilder från inspelningen har man tidigare kunnat se här och här på bloggen, samt på Fotografen Daniel Bernståls hemsida.
Missa nu inte premiären imorgon!
Idre dag 3 – struten tar över!
Idag blev en liten bonusdag i parken efter Reclaim The Mountain. Trots att vädret var tråkigt var Niklas ”Struten” Lundgren riktigt peppad och körde parken på ett sätt ingen hade tänkt innan. Det kanske inte riktigt framgår från stillframesen här, men det han höll på med… det var sjukt!
Nu känns det verkligen att vintersäsongen drar sig mot sitt slut. Väldigt tråkigt på ett sätt men kul på ett annat. Ser fram emot höstens filmsläpp! Själv kommer jag sitta med mycket redigering i veckan. Det går dessutom rykten om Monokel-release denna vecka!
Idre dag 2 – Tärningen är kastad
Trots piñatasession och soligt parkhäng kom dagens huvudfokus att ligga på promofilmen för Shred Or Dice. Vi ville göra något lite annorlunda men ändå självförklarande, och bestämde temat till en western style cowboyduell! Tyvärr ville inte solen ge oss det genretypiska solnedgångsljuset, men vi gjorde vårt bästa ändå. Duellanterna blev bröderna Mattias och Fredrik Johannesson. Det blev en stenhård fight!
Jag hann tyvärr inte med att göra någon video från idag, men nedan kan man se lite stillframes på Piñatan!
Reclaim the mountain dag 1!
60 mil, ett stycke soppatorsk mitt i skogen, ett par hyrboots, lånade bindningar och en redig kontinentalfrukost efter Umeå stog jag så i morse Idre för att filma Reclaim the Mountain! Dagen presenteras av legenden och allas bästaste bäste vän Markus Lemke nedan!
Riktigt skönt häng och trevlig park blev det, men tyvärr ville inte vädret vara till lags. Ett galet och varmt snöfall satte stopp för allt glid i backen så den stora luftakrobatiken får vänta till imorgon. Rolf var speaker under dagen och han tycker att alla borde komma tillbaka imorgon!
Ett riktigt kul inslag var Shred or Dice – mer än ett par åkare blev spelberoende idag. Läs mer om dem och beställ dina egna på shredordice.com! Garanterat kul!
Hasses sista dag på säsongen?
Idag körde vi en dubbelline bestående av en polejam/pvc upp på ett tak till en soptunnebonk ned. Förutom att vara årets barfota-premiär för min del (taket var ganska varmt) var det kanske också Hans sista dag på säsongen. Ni som följt de senaste dagarna vet varför – annars kanske ni förstår efter denna video från dagen!
Idag var också min sista dag i Umeå (åtminstone enligt mina egna planer). Imorgon åker jag upp till Idre för Reclaim the Mountain. Jag har hört rykten om Highest 180 contest, Piñatas och uppblåsbara krokodiler… med andra ord alla ingredienser som krävs för ett sjukt kul event! Ses där?
Umeå dag 11 – banansession!
Spotet för dagen var en streetline med två hits på samma rail med en banan mellan. Rätt coolt spot! Kolla in videon nedan där Hasse berättar om spotet, dagen och vad som händer om tre dagar!
Efter bananspotet var Hasse så peppad att han plötsligt kände för att köra gårdagens spot också. Mycket hade smält bort och fick skottas upp igen, men ljuset var mycket bättre idag så det var ändå värt det! Pepp-Hasse får avsluta dagens inlägg. Imorgon är sista dagen i Umeå, sen blir det Idre och Reclaim The Mountain!
Kuske’s 2011-season
Sweet swag!
