Japan's Powder Ski Dream ๐ฅ๐ฏ๐ตโ๏ธ
If I was a dolphin, I would swim into deep snow!
Chasing it from the Alps, Morzine (my hometown) to Japan's fresh powder dream...โ๏ธ
My name is Damien, I'm 31 years old, filmmaker from France & my life is not bad ! ๐
I was born in Cluses, an industrial lil town surrounded by big Mountains on the boarder with Switzerland & Italy.
Now living in Morzine, a small village in the middle of nowhere !
The view from the top!
I grew up skiing & shredding those big #Mountains & I have a #dream โค๏ธ
To Ski Japan Powder ๐ฏ๐ต
Skiing is an expensive #passion ๐ฐ
Skipass:
500$ to 900$ for a Season pass for one resort (december/April)
45$ per day if you want to ski another resorts !
Gear:
Ski, skiboots, goggle, ski jacket...
Minimum 1200$
I don't talk about bars & restaurants prices but who can say no to an "Aprรจs Ski" ๐บ
Yes, this is a camera in a beer ๐
Living in a ski town is also way more expensive than a normal village, prices are the same as it could be in #Paris ! ๐ซ๐ท
Those sacrifice are nothing compare to the #life I have, #passion is the key๐๏ธ
At the bottom of huge fun #playground ๐
I work in a ski/bike shop to pay the bills & enjoy skiing at my lunch time & during my days off !
This opportunity will help me living my passion full time...
Photography & film the life of a ski lover discovering #mountains.
Oh yeah I forgot that I love #StopMotion ๐
"Toy Vs Giant"
I love to realise film & animation !
Problem is, It takes ages !
I have built with my girlfriend Lu a mini studio last October.
We would like to realise "Toyz Vs Giantz" but we didn't have enough time yet to shoot it properly between work & adult life... (adult life sucks).
Finish this film is one of my goal of 2018/2019๐ฅ
To help us making a better film mixing animations and real ski, Japan would be the daulphin dream !
Filming the best spot on earth & the fresher snow on this Big planet !๐๏ธ๐๐๐๐๏ธ
"Morning Playground"
Last video of this long post, a sunrise over the Mt Blanc (4810m) on the greatest pumptrack in Combloux, french village.
I would love to be a #daulphin & continu to live the #dream chasing the best feeling, light & friendship all over the World !

@mylifeisnotbad
Oh wow! You life its super interesting and all the pictures you share about it are really amazing. Keep the good work and I hope your movie project flows perfectly this year.
Thanks @jessicablondell ๐
Did you read it all? ^^ I was scared to write a long post that nobody read ! ๐
I will do my best for this project, do you have ideas for the ski movie?
I would love to ear your feeling about "Toy Vs Giant" ๐
Haha yeah! Absolutely! I think your article was pretty great.. For me its super interesting to see how other people live around the world. Like to me it sounds fascinating to be surrounded by the mountains, going to ski everyday or being able to produce a movie. Its waaaay too different from here! Haha... Toy vs. Giant seems really cool. Is it kind of like a slowmotion film?
It s called stop motion, you take one picture, move the toy, take another picture, move the toy... 24 times four 1 secondes film ^^ That's why it takes ages to shoot it ahah what are you doing? where are you on this big planet ? ;)
Oh haha I know a bit about it, I kind of wanted to work on a similar project years ago but I knew it would take me forever hahaha ๐... I'm a communicator, that means I work creating content for companies, but my passion is writing, actually writing children stories lol I'm about to publish something on amazon for the first time and i'm super nervous!.. I'm from Venezuela. Have you heard from my country?
Love it !
Lucky you, good job ^^
Of course i know Venezuela, never been there but i'd love too!
Let me know foe your book, i'm a new uncle I can read it to him! You speak/write spanish, english?
Thank you! Oh great haha not everyone knows about Venezuela. I think my country is really beautiful, but right now is complicated to live here with the government. Hopefully things will change so many people can come over and visit! :) ... And absolutely! As soon as I publish my book i'll be posting the link around here too. Hopefully i'll finally do it this weekend!.. it took forever for the illustrations to be done ๐. I do, I actually wrote this story in both languages, but i'll publish the english version first to see how it goes. I think your nephew would love it! Haha not because I wrote it, but I think is a sweet story..
What's Happening in Venezuela ?
Sure let me know when your book will be on amazon ! Such a good thing :)
