Sport ad of the day. Adidas climaheat - Open all winter - #openallwinter Dir. Stian Smestad

Adidas #openallwinter Dir. Stian Smestad from Stian Smestad on Vimeo.

Be sure, NOTHING IS FAKED! I directed and helped develop the creative on this project for 6 months. It was insane to work with the athletes: Haley Ashburn (Highline), Jean-Baptiste Chandelier (Paragliding), Junhee Han (Ice climber), Peter Salzmann (Base-jump), Guido Unterwurzacher (climber).

This was a massive collaboration of athletes, outdoor production companies, adidas and commercial film peeps. Every part essential to the end result. It was shot over three weeks in the Austrian alps, Swiss alps and the Italian Dolomite's.

The film kicks off the adidas #openallwinter campaign: global.adidas.com/openallwinter
