A Powder Skiing Video Proposal

Watching almost anybody take chill, laid-back s turns down a mellow slope in pow (less than 3 feet) is always a treat, but I don't think I am alone when I say that these videos/clips tend to get a little bit repetitive. Today I was swiping through my instagram stories and I saw Arcteryx's story, the second video on there is a follow cam of a run similar to what I described above, though there was one difference. This was a follow cam, a skier was followed by somebody else skiing the same run, now obviously this was just an instagram video, about 7 seconds in length, but during these 5 turns you can truly see how much snow there is kicking up behind the skier. I think this way of filming mellow pow runs is vastly superior to the simple "tripod" strategy.

I thought that this was about a video of someone proposing to someone while skiing and then failing. I'm disappointed.

POV < tripod pan < panning and zooming < follow cams < leading follow cams < sticking the camera basically under the skier with a $500 fisheye

Just speculation, but I guess you don’t see many follow cams in big budget films because if you have a guy or drone following you then you can see it in the other angles, making the rest of the footage pretty lame. But yeah It would be pretty sick to see more high budget Matt Cook level follow cam stuff
