My quintessential day here in Boulder Colorado.

For most of the last 6 years I've been a traveling vagabond following my passion for rock climbing. This existence involved sleeping outside in wild places, hitching rides, having very little belongings, a drained bank account and some gourmet dumpster diving for food. I climbed everyday and lived my dream.

These days I'm a domesticated man. By most people's standards I'm still living in the ghetto with my 1988 beater car and trailer-like house. Each day I find time to escape to the nearby rock spires and bag a summit. Making this creative short I realized that I still live my dream everyday...!

    Dude, that is sick. I feel a little better not being selected in the Top 50 now, being in your company. Way to take it to the limit for a sick shot.

    Really fantastic! One of the fun things about the GH1 is that its cost effective and light enough to go where many other cameras wouldn't or couldn't. I've made this video the featured video in the GH1 group at vimeo.com/groups/gh1 Really shows what the camera can do in talented hands. Thank you for making it!

    Very well done, renan.
    Creative, interesting and, after viewing the BTS vid, disturbingly creative. Thank G_d for duct tape.
    Just a pleasure to watch.
    Love the fist bump with your dog at 0:37. :-)
    Could we have some production details, please?
  • renan ozturk plus 2 years ago
    Thx for the kind words!
    Details.
    1. The invisible POV rig waking up was balanced by a strap tucked under the never stop exploring TNF boxers.
    2. Roobix the dog had to be plucked from the base as I climbed so he would not get eaten by a mtn lion.
    3. Used a merlin steadycam
    4. the crane shots it used the HMC 150 with the GH1 mounted on top of it on the hotshoe
    5. I shot everying of myself other than the crane shots..
    6. Kebbeck dropdeck Skateboard, TNF aero jacket, la sportiva katana climbing shoes
