An Experimental Film That Combines Incredible Skiing With Stop-Motion Animation

by Matthew Gilligan

Sämi Ortlieb made this video that combines trick skiing with stop-animation, resulting in a unique extreme sports experience.

Ortlieb said about this project, “The original idea was to create something I would describe as ‘landscape animation.’ The idea is to bring an environment to life with stop motion animation, using the material provided by the environment. … I really wanted to push the idea of landscape animation. To bring the environment we ski in to life and to create a playground where the mountains interact with the skiers.”

Take a look at the video above.
