Arc'teryx Presents: ÆTHER 5

ÆTHER 5 is a short visual journey of self-discovery featuring the snowboarding of Spencer O’Brien. Allowing her mind to tune into the pace of the world around her, she blurs the line between reality and the ethereal.
It is an exploration of the ancient concept of æther, the fifth element. The space between matter - a place where light stands still.
As a tribute to this theme, every frame on screen was captured directly in-camera, unaltered.
Featuring: Spencer O'Brien
Directed by: Leo Hoorn
Produced by: Arcade Motion

The cinematography is next level. 😮

[@Climber39]

So is the riding!!! I’ve been climbing and snowboarding for several years. But I’m still amazed watching people ride like this. This is really spectacular. It’s Hypnotic! Really reminds me of the cinematography in those older videos of Xavier bombing big lines in the Alps. Great stuff from Arcteryx again. Best gear, best media.

Truly gorgeous! I miss seeing this caliber of media and imagery. Spencer O'Brien has such beautiful style -such a legend

[@madebymetsa]

Amazing audio-visual experience! Major kudos to everyone who worked on this project!

[@taunado]

Awesome. Music by Tony Anderson?

[@labutinnik]

yes

[@PXx12345]

Sounds like his work, but so far have not been able to find the track name. The opening title music which is only on for a few seconds sounds like its from the Bladerunner 2049 soundtrack! Anyone know the main music in this?

[@labutinnik]

Nightingale ​@@PXx12345

[@taunado]
