Knife Show - Mike Benson Directing Reel

[KnifeShow]

Hey guys Mike Benson here - I am sorry if this counts as self-promotion.

Here is the deal: I run Knife Show part-time and work at G4 full-time. My job at G4 is ending and so I am available for a full-time gig. So if you guys know of any paid work please let me know, and feel free to pass this reel on to anybody.

Dear Mike Benson,

I have been watching your edits for years, and they're seriously some of my favorite edits of all time. It brings me great pleasure to comment on a thread you created.

Yours truly,

Yardie

Why not, the stuff you make is so high quality. A good path for you to go for sure. I dont have really an idea of what I want to do as in longterm job to make a living, time will tell though.

 

[Sophistication.]

Very cool.How do you do those special effects?

Like the ones where there are stop frames following the rider in air.

 

[SkiBum.]

Eheath, take notes....

What kid of job you looking to get? In the ski/sports industry?

 

[SkiinTrigga]

How do you do that??? Other then with magic...

 

[will_powder]

Heath probably doesn't want to do cheesy after-effects over his stuff haha

 

[powderhound100]

Magic Flashlights is one of my all time favorite edits. Such a good vibe. Hope your talent can be put to good use.

i will tots pay you 50$ to make a 30 sec edit for me at the end of the year. think about what you can by with 50$ that's almost a full tank of gas.

 

[status_whitegirl]

[KnifeShow]

Saw this on YouTube, thought it was awesome, but there was a lot of shots that I hadn't seen before, was some of it unreleased footy?

 

[KnifeShow]

Certain shots are concepts for videos that haven't been released yet. So in a way, this is kind of a sneak peek at things to come...

 

[Static]

please tell me you got up in Beth Ditto

 

[Mag]

One thing I've always wondered is how you get the snow to move at 1:33? I want it to be small explosives but I guess it's more likely you just cropped somebody out?

 

[KnifeShow]

Beth Ditto was awesome and very funny, but no getting inside.

 

[KnifeShow]

It was a powder slash from Chris Grenier I think. And then I erased him.

 

[mski]

I find it hard to believe you'll be outta work for long. Youve got so much skill and talent my friend. Good luck!

 

[Dwarftosser1]

I absolutely love Knife Show, it's nice to have such creatively in the rather bland world of ski/board edits, hope you can find a good job

 

[NW_Rider]

You monster!

Love your work man, rockin the Knife Show sticker on my car.

 

[Pow.yuHdig*]

[FLBP]

That's awesome, Gnar Wars looks sick.

 

[KnifeShow]

The big 12 inch one?

 

[dunkaroos]

wow that reel was awesome. always enjoyed knife show edits

 

[NW_Rider]

I wish, it was one that came with my sweatshirt a couple years ago. Starting to peel off a bit now that I moved to California from Washington being in the sun all the time. Going to swoop the new sweatshirt that drops tomorrow though, hopefully there will be a new one in there.

 

[Flacker]

I love the videos you guys make stoked to see more this season!

 

[Moosen]

Good luck my man! Always admired your work!
