Candide Thovex, The Skier Who Doesn't Wait for Winter

Whether you are an avid skier, filmmaker, or just love the outdoors, you need to check out the latest project from skier Candide Thovex. In this two minute video, Thovex absolutely shreds the slopes of Megève, France. He flies through open fields, tight tree lines, through tunnels, and absolutely sends it off a cliff over a road gap, the only catch is there is no snow. 

The obviously talented Candide, wrote, directed, stared, did the stunts, edited, colored and sound designed, the whole commercial. He is hands on with everything. The director of photography is Simon Favier, a long time friend and collaborator, along with a passionate crew that helped bring Candide's idea to life. At first glance, my brain was about to explode, immediately I thought, I need to know more! I am in the process of talking to the crew to find out more about how this Audi Commercial was made, but for now give it a watch, I guarantee this two minute commercial will be worth your time. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions about how it was made in the comments section below and stay tuned for more info on this amazing edit.
