Earlier this year, Nico Vuignier incinerated the classic ski edit paradigm with his film, Heatseeker. When the Swiss-born freeskier first released the four-minute masterpiece, an exclusive look into the making of the unconventional ski film was promised. After a few patient months–nothing compared to the four years the edit took to complete–Vuignier has finally dropped Making of Heatseeker: Drones on fire and other bad ideas. Hit play on the video above for a behind-the-scenes look into how Heatseeker was imagined and executed. Note: No drones were harmed in the making of this film.
