Follow Me
The trails of the Whistler Bike Park have seen their fair share of screen time over the years, from segments in our past films to your next-door-neighbour's POV edit. So, when it came time to filming the bike park segment for unReal, we knew we had to do something different.
As the official photographer for Anthill Films, Sterling Lorence is on set for our shoots whenever possible. Beyond capturing mind-blowing photos that document the progression of our sport, Sterling’s shots are a great compliment to the film, giving a unique perspective on of everything that goes down in front and behind the cameras. When Sterling agreed to share his slideshow from Follow Me, we thought it would be good to get his perspective on what life is like for being a still photographer working on a film shoot.

Thomas Vanderham has a big presence in ‘Follow Me’ the 2010 feature film by Anthill.

Sam doesn’t like coffee. He likes Monster energy drink. F-yeah I think to myself, this guy means business, game on.
We were sitting around the creative table back in early spring 2009 during pre production planning asking ourselves, ‘What are we going to do next in the Whistler Mountain Bike Park?
Much to the dismay of his wife, Kurt’s buddy Brad, has literally turned his backyard into the ultimate playground for mountain bikers.
As if BC didn’t have enough sick riding already, we’re blessed with a network of heavy-hitting bike parks to give us all the descending we can handle.
The idea behind the “Follow Me” mantra is a positive one – it’s all about leading the charge down a new trail, sharing what you know, getting a posse of riders fired up to drop in.
We’ve been looking forward to this segment because it puts two young riders together who represent two dramatically different sides of the sport.
