Dear potential sponsors,

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) is not only changing the workplace but also influencing our daily lives. From text creation to activity planning, AIs are increasingly taking on tasks. Hence, the idea arises to humorously combine artificial intelligence with freeride skiing in our ski film „AI meets Freeride“.

What can you expect? - Story
The narrative leads to amusing and exaggerated situations, initially accompanied by typical misunderstandings between humans and AI. In doing so, we humorously highlight the possibilities and limits of collaboration, without neglecting the serious safety aspects in the mountains.

Where? - Location
Where will it be shot? Most shots will be taken in the Alps, where we can ensure optimal flexibility for this unique project.

First thoughts (You can find moods under the text)
A freerider e.g Felix stands on a mountain peak, facing a vast slope with numerous options for descent. Uncertain about the optimal route, he turns to an artificial intelligence (AI) system to guide him.

Suddenly, a futuristic-looking freerider e.g. Max appears before him, seemingly emerging from nowhere. Max, devoid of emotion, calmly instructs Felix on the ideal line to take down the slope. Grateful for the guidance, Felix thanks the AI and deactivates it.

In subsequent scenes with a similar setup, the two freeriders find themselves once again on a summit, overlooking an untouched slope.

Felix, seeking advice from the AI for the best line down, activates it again. However, this time, the AI manifests itself differently. Without waiting for Felix‘s question, it starts skiing down the slope, slashing the powder and jumping cliffs ahead of the freerider.

Felix, still at the top, watches in surprise and frustration as the AI leaves a trail in the pristine snow without waiting for his query. Growing increasingly irritated with the AI, Felix continues to encounter it without prompting, sometimes even appearing ahead of him.

This leads to a competition where Felix must hurry to choose the most beautiful line and position himself faster at the drop-in point. The relationship between the freerider and the AI transforms into a race, with Felix striving to outmaneuver the AI and secure the optimal line.
