The 'electrifying film sees Hughes lit in French Powder in a custom-made suit with LED lights manufactured by & nbsp; dell''elettronica designer and magician John Spatcher. The director Jacob Sutton, who worked for Herm & egrave; s, Burberry and The New York Times, he spent four nights on a snowmobile with his trusty camera Red temperatures of -20 & deg; C.

I've never shot video of skiing and snowboarding but I liked the 'idea of ​​a challenge unusual. I did a lot of research into the world of ski movies and snowboarding. Most of the video & egrave; filmed from helicopters and athletes who make huge leaps from cliffs and skiing on vertical slopes. I wanted to deal with snowboarding so aesthetic pi & ugrave, structural seemed more & ugrave, emotional and expressive. I was really attracted to the 'idea of ​​a lone character made of light through the darkness. I am always excited by unusual ways of lighting and the suit led un''idea seemed interesting to make the subject of the movie 'only source of light. We were undecided whether to choose a skier or a snowboarder, but in the end I chose it because Snowboard & egrave; I wanted to emulate Surfer' silver of the Xmen, one of Marvel comics. Filming was really tough. Not only does using an experimental technology in terms of the suit, but we were shooting at 2000 meters. s.l.m. in fresh snow overnight and temperatures were particularly low, was about & nbsp; -20C. We filmed for 6-8 hours a night, for a total of four nights. "" For the shoot we used two snowmobiles and two Red Epic cameras. & Nbsp; Si & egrave; decided to actively illuminate the suit with LED strips powered by batteries. The first tests with the LED applied to the suit with a diameter of 40 mm showed a corona at the edges of the profile, then the diameter & egrave; was reduced to 25 mm to remove in part this effect.
