As a snowboarder, have you ever wanted to travel to far away places? Most likely you have and even given it a try. The hard part is finding the right place to go and having an idea of what to expect once you get there. With this is mind the guys at ATG Media are developing a knew way to create and distribute snowboarding films and doing it with a different style then your regular video. This season’s film is titled “Translocation”, and it is a new way to look at snowboarding film. “Translocation” is a 16mm and HD travel based video that spotlights some of the world’s best snowboarders traveling to some of the sickest mountain ranges this planet has to offer.

Instead of filming all season to create one video with different riders parts, The “Translocation” project aims to take a different approach at delivering it’s content. “The video will come out in Downloadable Short Films, highlighting each location they visit throughout the year. The shorts will be available for ipods as well as Quicktime. Viewers can then watch the film literally as it is being made. In October 2008 they will release a travel book and DVD that will showcase all their travels. The book will include photos, maps and tons of information on the hot spots to visit. The book will be created in the same style as those backpackers travel books, and will include a full length DVD inside with tons of sick shredding. 

Snowboard.com has provided you with a link to the first short that took place in Argentina featuring the shredding of Andrew Burns, Craig Beaulieu, Chris Coulter and Raul Pinto. You can download the first 6 minute short for $1.99 at the following link.
