Presented by Philips TV and Atomic Skis
Featuring: Pep Fujas, Eric Hjorleifson, Daron Rahlves, and Chris Benchetler
From the depth of the creative visuals to the groundbreaking, never-been-done-before scale of the shoot, Afterglow is being hailed as one of the most cinematically profound ski movies ever made. Deep pillows and Alaskan spines, all filmed at night, with massive lights, custom made LED suits, and a national governments worth of logistics, planning, and civil engineering.
Filmed as a partnership between Sweetgrass Productions, Philips TV, and the Swedish Agency Ahlstrand & Wållgren, it's two parts creativity, one part branded content, and a pinch of masochism for good measure. Overall, it's an incredibly unique partnership between our vision of skiing and the color and light technology behind the Philips Ambilight TV.
Supported by: Atomic, Freefly Systems (MOVI), NiteRider, Golden Alpine Holidays, Alyeska Resort & Talvista Lodge.
Shot on location at: Golden Alpine Holidays Sentry Lodge, Alyeska Resort, and the Alaskan Wilderness

While I don't have a Philips TV, I have a lightpack system connected to my TV, and I have to say, this film is by far the best film to test out the lightpack system. It brings the film to an entirely different level. Unreal!

Awesome, but guys - it's 2014, what's up with 720p? You can "upgrade" the video to 1080p in File settings. It's a shame Vimeo doesn't do this by default.
Chad Stembridge Plus
Super inspiring — I love the creative vision that went into this.
Paul Thomas
A beautifully crafted tapestry of light and textures. Although it was produced for a commercial spot, it is still a work of art. This will inspire film makers (and most likely skiers too!) long after the product it was designed to promote is obsolete.
