This video isn't that much about signage, but shows the creativity of the film maker and editors using a tilt-shift lens.
It also showcases some of the crazies that live and play on the mountain.

Hope you enjoy it!

Re: A different way of looking at Jackson Hole
Passed this on to one of my sons in New York who comes to Colorado several times a year to hit the slopes with his kids. His reply to me: "Total ski porn".
A pleasant (though vicarious) distraction as we enter the season.
Speaking of distraction, I'd better get to work.

Re: A different way of looking at Jackson Hole
Roderick,
It often depends on the film crew. I think the extreme vertical slopes are more suited for skiers. The boarders seem to like the boulders and powder and going through the trees. There are plenty of both skiers and boarders here. JH has some of the most extreme slopes in the US, so it draws the young extreme skiers and boarders. Darla snowboards while Corey is a very good skier. I'd prefer to go off to the more quiet parts of the valley and take photos than to be herded around all day.
The tilt/shift lenses are often used to correct angles and distortions, but the film makers used it in a creative way. When people try to photograph a model train layout, one of the problems is keeping much depth of field. Things up close a farther into the scene go out of focus very quickly, Tilting the lens in the video camera imitates that effect. When they speed up the video, it really starts looking like a model train layout. Very cool!

Re: A different way of looking at Jackson Hole
Part of the video reminds me why Dad and I stopped skiing the commercial slopes when we had a couple of other people on the same slope. My bones are too old for the extreme drops. My grandsons snowboard alo around here.
