00:01:56
Jordan Smith
Frickin' awesome.
00:01:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
It was great, right?
00:01:58
RICK JAMES
was great. That was awesome.
00:01:59
Jordan Smith
Awesome.
00:01:59
RICK JAMES
Yeah, that was good.
00:02:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah It was it was it was guy. I showed it to a bunch of the guys in the house and they were like blown away. They're like, dude, this could literally I could be watching this on Discovery Channel right now. Like, it's that good.
00:02:10
Jordan Smith
um
00:02:10
RICK JAMES
Let's hope so.
00:02:11
Jordan Smith
it was just really It was just really cool because this project has been so much work.
00:02:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's that good.
00:02:16
Jordan Smith
And I'm not even going to say i haven't done nearly as much work as some people have. So much work and time has gone into this project by so many people. ah you know Steve, Jeremy, the Ghost Dog team, all of the contractors that we we're featuring, like they put a ton extra hours and time and resources into this. like
00:02:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:02:36
Jordan Smith
If we actually tracked the man hours into this project,
00:02:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh.
00:02:39
Jordan Smith
I can't imagine.
00:02:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. Yeah.
00:02:40
RICK JAMES
but no
00:02:40
Jordan Smith
So it was so cool to get a first cut.
00:02:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:02:43
Jordan Smith
And, you know, I had been kind of prodding that ghost dog. Like, I know you guys are busy, but can I just, you know, can I see a little bit, see a little bit?
00:02:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
ye
00:02:49
Jordan Smith
So I finally got him to send us that clip and it's not even finished yet we're still all blown away.
00:02:49
RICK JAMES
Yep.
00:02:55
Jordan Smith
So I'm freaking excited.
00:02:55
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah
00:02:57
Jordan Smith
It's going to be awesome.
00:02:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
It was cool to watch it, like sitting there, not knowing what I was going to see, knowing basically what the premise was.
00:02:58
RICK JAMES
I'm excited.
00:03:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
But I wasn't out there when when they taped it. You know I couldn't make it out there. So I didn't know what went on. And that was it was awesome. It was awesome to see. I think guys are going to be they're going to love this like we thought they would.
00:03:12
RICK JAMES
Yep. Yep.
00:03:16
Jordan Smith
It's different though, because you know I was on the ODP shootout in Boston, and so i you know I kind of saw what they were shooting, kind of the kind of shots they were getting, but because they just film everything, it's like some of the stuff they're filming, it man, this stuff's boring that they're filming, but you know i I don't understand film work and Ghost Dog would probably make fun of me for saying this, but like you have to get hours of footage to get a 10 second clip that's perfect, right?
00:03:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:03:38
RICK JAMES
you yeah
00:03:39
Jordan Smith
And then post-production, yeah, so they claim, yeah.
00:03:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
So they claim while the clock is ticking.
00:03:42
Jordan Smith
but i mean
00:03:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
um
00:03:44
Jordan Smith
Between having multiple cameras going and multiple mics going and drones in the air, like you have to get so many shots.
00:03:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah
00:03:50
Jordan Smith
ah I really like to know how many hours of footage they have to sort through just to get.
00:03:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
I thought they said 400 to 450 per episode to get a 45 minute episode.
00:03:58
Jordan Smith
That's just crazy. Yeah, I mean.
00:04:00
RICK JAMES
It was awesome.
00:04:01
The SnowJobs Podcast
Because how many cameras, Jay? you you You did it. You lived it. How many cameras did they have on you guys?
00:04:06
RICK JAMES
Oh.
00:04:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
They had drones.
00:04:08
RICK JAMES
When they had a one yeah they had drones, they had least two cameras for every for not every loader, for what how many loaders they put in. you know with One face in all, one face in the operator.
00:04:18
RICK JAMES
They had one in my truck.
00:04:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:04:22
RICK JAMES
A few guys had mics. so I don't i't even know how many cameras. like they have like I even want
Focus on People in the Snow Industry
00:04:27
RICK JAMES
to say a number. There was quite a few out there.
00:04:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
I thought they said eight. I thought they said eight cameras and a drone.
00:04:30
RICK JAMES
Yeah, I would say 8 to 12, I was going to say 8 to 12, but, you know, because they always had to switch them out when the batteries went dead and, you know, how cold it gets and stuff.
00:04:33
Jordan Smith
Yeah.
00:04:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:04:37
Jordan Smith
And it's not just.
00:04:37
RICK JAMES
but
00:04:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
And then each one of them was rolling the entire time.
00:04:40
Jordan Smith
Yeah.
00:04:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
So that's a lot of footage to sift through when you you know you're you're doing Glacier because you guys hauled, right, too?
00:04:47
RICK JAMES
Yep, we did a...
00:04:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
It was a long-duration storm to begin with, and then you hauled. So you guys had a lot of footage.
00:04:53
RICK JAMES
Oh, we did two nights of pushing because we did the initial night and then we did cleanup night and then we did and we did hauling. So it was a three three night deal. So yeah.
00:05:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, so yeah, that's that's a lot. but No wonder.
00:05:02
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:05:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's a lot of footage.
00:05:04
Jordan Smith
Well, not just all the video, but all the audio.
00:05:05
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:05:07
Jordan Smith
They had all those people mic'd up and they had the the you know the chat feed mic'd up for Glacier.
00:05:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh,
00:05:14
Jordan Smith
And so there's all these audio feeds you gotta tie in with all the video too. It's just ton of work to shoot, ton of work to coordinate, ton of work then to do post-production. And you know the hard work's gonna pay off here because what we saw, what we got to preview the last couple days here, um it's it's making it feel like all the work's been worth it.
00:05:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah it's phenomenal. Yeah, no, it's.
00:05:33
RICK JAMES
Yeah, I think it's watching it. I could i felt like i was ah felt like I was there still. Obviously, I lived it. So I felt like I was, I remembered it and like it was happening because I was like, oh, this, yep, yep, I remember it.
00:05:44
RICK JAMES
This happened next. And yeah, it was pretty cool. So I don't know.
00:05:48

00:06:09
RICK JAMES

00:06:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
Some of the spots were really funny. If you know, Jeremy, you know, some of the offhanded comments, the little under, like, like when Andy hit the the speed bump.
00:06:24
RICK JAMES
but The curb, yeah.
00:06:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
so it's great And then the curb.
00:06:25
RICK JAMES
ah
00:06:27
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:06:27
RICK JAMES

00:06:28

00:06:33
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:06:33
Jordan Smith
Yeah.
00:06:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
I was i was blown away by it. i It was exactly, you know, when you have things cooking up in your head, you have ideas and you think, you know, this is what I would love to see.
00:06:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's very rare that somebody else can put it together and basically know what you would like. That is literally what I was thinking the whole time when we were talking about this in the initial stages. That was it.
00:06:57
Jordan Smith
yeah
00:06:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
So they nailed it. Ghost Dog did a phenomenal job on that.
00:07:00
Jordan Smith
Yeah, mean, the goal is really to highlight the the
Release Strategy and Audience Engagement
00:07:03
Jordan Smith
process and the people, especially the people, because there's a lot of media out there that shows the equipment and the B-roll and you know all the cool, you know like like the stuff you post, Jeremy.
00:07:12
Jordan Smith
It's it's awesome stuff, your Instagram posts and stuff.
00:07:13
RICK JAMES
Yep.
00:07:14
Jordan Smith
People love it. But this this shows all that stuff well, also highlighting the people behind it. And just it's something no one has put a lot of time into, like what our group has here. And it's exciting.
00:07:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, this isn't any Project Snowfighter or anything.
00:07:28
RICK JAMES
yep It's definitely the people.
00:07:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
This is like...
00:07:31
RICK JAMES
i mean Like you say, all B-roll, all the cool equipment, all that stuff is awesome, great, but
00:07:34
Jordan Smith
Thank you.
00:07:38
RICK JAMES
None of it gets done without all these characters we have. And, and it's just a, you know, splash or toe in the water of all the people here. I mean, you know, there's hard, you know, people actually knew what the hell, I mean, they're going to know what goes on, but they're really not going to go, you know, they're just going to get a little taste of it from what really happens out here. And the guy, the people that do this at night or whenever they do it, it's, they do hell, with hell work. You know, they just bust their ass. They do great things. And I just can't wait to have everybody see see what We we do
00:08:09
Jordan Smith
It's going be sweet.
00:08:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
It is awesome. Yep. Guys will like it. I think it like, that's your biggest thing. i think all of us felt it this whole time where we're like, we, this can't suck. Like this can't suck. Like we have to get this right.
00:08:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
And I, I am like 100% confident. Like you can't have a bad word to say about this. Like even, even people that are looking to dump on for whatever reason, this is awesome.
00:08:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like it really, if you're at all in love with snow, you're going to love this.
00:08:35

Jordan Smith
Yeah. Once this episode drops, we'll get it posted up on social with links to, uh, YouTube. It's also going to be on Vimeo, which, you know, a lot of, not a lot of people use Vimeo, but that'll be a cool platform to be able to stream on, on TVs and stuff later. And there's no ads on there, which is cool.
00:09:24

00:09:47
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's a,
00:09:48
RICK JAMES
I really want to, i want to, obviously a lot of snow guys going to watch it, but I want people that aren't in the business to kind of see what they think about it too. You know, that's what I'm kind of excited about.
00:09:57
Jordan Smith
Yeah.
00:09:58
RICK JAMES
but You know, if we can get some of those people that, you know, just casual people that jump on and watch it, and that's, that's kind of our goal too.

The SnowJobs Podcast

00:10:06
Jordan Smith
There's lot of value there.
00:10:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
I showed it to the boys, you know, 14 guys last night, and they were like, they had nothing to do with snow, and they were like, dude, I'd watch this. This is freaking awesome.
00:10:16
Jordan Smith
Yeah.

The SnowJobs Podcast
So, I think.
00:10:17
Jordan Smith

Acknowledgments and Premiere Details
00:10:27
Jordan Smith
I don't, I just, people just don't realize what it takes to do what we do.
00:10:30
Jordan Smith
And this, again, it's just a small snippet of it, but I think if we can get some traction with people outside of snow, that's going to be a great thing for our industry.
00:10:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
No.
00:10:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
