Ornada is Armada's eagerly awaited two-year project, featuring some of the best skiers ever. Armada took a unique approach by pairing the film with a live score. NS met the team during the Innsbruck screening to learn more about their thoughts on this ambitious work and its outcome.
Insights from Tanner Hall
Tanner Hall shared his perspective on Ornada, Armada’s first ski film with a live musical score. The screening in Innsbruck included most of the Armada team. He emphasized that every segment of the film could have served as the finale of any other ski movie, showcasing the high caliber of the team.
The Making of Ornada
Before discussing the creativity and effort behind the film, Tanner Hall, known as the Ski Boss and part of Armada since the beginning, explained why this team movie happened now.
“We’ve been a company for so long and we’ve never really come together as a team and tried something like this, so I’m just glad we did. There was an attempt with Oil & Water but it was on a much smaller scale. This time we had Corey [Stanten], Phil [Casabon], Brady Perron and Shaun Logan all come together and really put everything they had into this. Doing something like this over two years is really impressive to me.”
