Utah Credit Union Association Caucus Video

In January of 2012, Avalanche Studios helped support the American Election process by producing a very informative and entertaining Caucus Training Video for the Utah Credit Union Association.

Shot on green screen in our studio, the video was called Political Wipeout and parodied the popular TV show Wipeout. Trenton James and Jeff Miller were the hosts of the show.

Travis Cline was DP and Zac Heileson handled the second camera.  Jason Conforto, Eddie Johnson and Dave Lindsay rounded out the crew.

 Avalanche Studios first shoot in Egg Nog UT, Population 1.  We were able to interview half the population while we were there.

Dave's first forest fire in 30 years.

 The smoke from Dave's fire looked like morning mist for our shot.  I think we found a motive.

Filming in Orlando for the Children With Diabetes Convention

and taking pictures of this luscious lake at the Disney Resort where we stayed.

Shoot for GE/Dresser

The Avalanche Studios crew was happy to produce a series of product videos for GE and Dresser in Salt Lake City in July of 2011.  Here we see Director of Photography Zac Heileson on camera sporting his checkered beret and his stylish safety glasses.

This series of product videos featured GE's line of specialized valves used in the natural gas and pipeline industry.  Looks like Eddie, Zac and Jason are standing around again.

Montage Deer Valley Shoot for Epiphany

It's tough work but somebody has got to do it. Last month our crew here at Avalanche Studios spent a few cold, but fun-filled days filming at the Montage Deer Valley resort in Park City, Utah for Denver-based advertising agency Epiphany Luxury.

We were producing a series of web videos for Fine Living Channel lifestyles guru Kimberly Schlegel Whitman. We filmed at the new and amazingly beautiful resort and spent some time on the slopes, in the spa, hanging out in the residences, and even took a run down the sledding hill. The resort is high on the mountain above Park City's main street and is a spectacular setting for a vacation, a day of skiing, or a location shoot. If we could ever choose a location to do video production in Utah, the Montage Deer Valley ain't a bad choice.

We shot with our Canon 5D camera rig with Paul Meyers as DP and the footage looks spectacular. Dave Lindsay acted as Producer, Jason Conforto directed and Eddie Johnson and Lindey Crow rounded out our crew. Thanks to Adam, Isaac and Heidi Lindsay for helping out as our talent.

Shoot for the LDS Church Young Women Broadcast

We were recently hired by the LDS Church to film segments for use during their upcoming Young Women's Broadcast. We spent the day with a group of young women in Highland, Utah as we interviewed them about their experiences they had as they walked from the Draper, Utah Temple to the Salt Lake Temple - a 22 mile journey.

We filmed interviews on location at the Draper Temple, as well as in the homes of the young women in the Highland area. Travis Cline was the DP and shot his usual amount of amazing footage with the Canon 5D. It was a cold, wintery shoot, but we all had a warm feeling in our hearts :)
