Red Bull Raw 100 – Bas van Steenbergen Rips Up Vancouver Island

Back in the final weeks of 2014, a few filmmakers across various action-sport genres were asked to take part in a project by Red Bull to create a series of short video pieces.

Each of these videos would be exactly 100 seconds in length and feature no slow-motion or music- the rest was open to interpretation.

It’s a pretty broad set of restrictions, and for the most part raw videos are pretty damn straight-forward and in theory should require less work than the alternative, but for whatever reason we decided to make things a bit more complicated for ourselves and try and put together an idea both myself and Bas knew might take a bit more time to execute.

With Mike Zinger in tow, we gratefully took over Riley McIntosh’s house in Maple Bay for a week in early March to try and capture 100 seconds of Bas, real-time on a trail on Mt. Prevost.
