Outdoorgames in Chamonix

In mid-February, Chamonix Mont-Blanc will again host the best Extreme Sports athletes for a unique competition.
There will be mountain sports, but above all, the Outdoors Games will be a festival of
film and photography. The concept will bring together seven teams.
Climbers, skiers, snowboarders, paragliders and BASE-jumpers will join up with professional cameramen,
photographers, editors, and producers.
They will all have 5 days to produce a short film of 5 minutes, and 20 still pictures.
The Aiguille d’Or, trophy will be awarded to the best production during the ceremony on Saturday
night in the centre of Chamonix. The decision will be made by a jury made up of specialists in the
areas of sport and audiovisuals. They will also hand out an award for the best photograph.

See below the final cut of Outdoorgames by Médéo. Directed by Guillaume Broust this film was made during a previous years event very cool all but a little cheesy in places. I love shooting in snow and the moutains I must say this sort of thing would be a dream job for me, I will have to keep dreaming for now. I hope you enjoy the movie checkout the link for the Outdoorgames official website for more movies and images.
