7천개의 LED가 달려 있는 스키복 Ski suits with 7,000 LED lights and neon spotlights on the snow(VIDEO)
Ski suits with 7,000 LED lights and neon spotlights on the snow: Incredible drone video shows off most colourful ski run in history
- Crew used eight 4,000-watt lights with smaller lights and gels to colour the mountainside
- 7,000 LED strips of light were sewn into each ski suit and controlled by an app
- Suits designed with thousands of tiny LEDs sewn the gore-tex fabric and wired to candy bar sized battery
- Clip took 5 weeks to finish, 9,000 pounds of equipment was used and shot in -15 degrees Fahrenheit temperatures
A team of skiers put on suits adorned with 7,000 LED lights and rode down slopes illuminated by multi-coloured spotlights to show how high-tech lighting can enhance an experience.
'Afterglow' was created in collaboration with Ahlstrand & Wållgren to promote Philip's Ambilight TV, which creates light effects that corresponds with the video content.
All the scenes were filmed at night with the mountains, slopes and skiers glowing in neon coloured light.

The 12-minute film was shot in the British Columbia and the Golden Alpine Holidays in Alaska by Sweetgrass Productions.
To light up the massive mountain slopes, the crew used eight 4,000-watt lights with smaller lights and gels to add contrast and fill.
And drones and stable cameras filmed skiers gliding down the slopes who left neon coloured tracks in the white snow.
The suits were designed with thousands of tiny LEDs sewn into each article of gore-tex, which is a waterproof fabric, and wired to a battery the size of a candy bar.
'The LED suit was a product of our collaboration with Swedish agency Ahlstrand and Wållgren and Philips TV,' Nick Waggoner, founder of Sweetgrass Productions, toldThe Huffington Post.
'It was this visceral way to represent their new Ambilight TV and its style of glowing color and light.'
'The world of skiing and snow happened to be the perfect way to show that off, so it perfectly paired with what we wanted to do with a night skiing segment -- to bring a totally new aesthetic to skiing.'
The production crew used 'washing-machine-sized lights' to illuminate the ski trails, along with scaffolding, wires and generators, reports OutsideOnline.
'The biggest issue with the LED suits is that they'd act like headlights in fog anytime the skiers kicked up snow, essentially on every turn,' said Waggoner.
'We had perfect conditions up at Golden Alpine Holidays, so it was tricky to balance all the snow moving in the air, which produces the best images, with visibility for the athletes.'
The short clip took five weeks complete, 9,000 pounds in -15 degrees Fahrenheit 'in the deepest snow on earth', Waggoner explains.
'I'm not willing to say how much we spent on this project,' said Waggoner.

Although the short film was expensive to make, the move company had a little assistance from Philips, as it was a way to market its Ambilight television.
This film hoped to celebrate how brilliant and unique Philips Ambilight TV lighting technology is and how light can completely transform an experience, according to a press release.
'Ambilight throws a glow of light matching on-screen colours onto the wall behind the TV thus virtually expanding the TV screen,' said Marc Harmsen, Global Marketing Lead at TP Vision, a firm that assisted Philips with the marketing campaign.

The television was developed to enhance picture details, contrasts and colours, without the on-screen reflection that most sets have.
The technology works by projecting multiple colours, shades and intensities of light from the back of the television to the screen and even adds a glowing aura around the edges of the screen,
There are different options for tapping into the 10 LED-powered pico projectors in television that are stationed in the back panel, reports The Verge.
When listening to music, the lights will match the sounds dynamics and will move, react and change colour.
It's can also be controlled with Philips' Hue Smart Lighting system, which lets you the control the brightness and color of Wi-Fi-connected bulbs placed around the room with your smartphone.
Althoug Sweetgrass worked with Philips, which underwrote the project to promote its television, 'Afterglow' was presented at the film festival circuit.
