CMP Media Launches Xtreme Video Magazine

Posted on January 23, 2004

Xtreme Video Magazine, the newest product from the CMP Media Digital Video Group, hit newsstands early December. Covering everything from skateboarding, surfing, and motocross to mountain climbing and deep-sea exploration, Xtreme Video Magazine is a new quarterly from the publishers of DV magazine that celebrates capturing life in the extreme. Feature stories and photo essays take readers behind the scenes to reveal the secrets of capturing the action on video and in photographs. Xtreme Video Magazine is geared toward professionals and thrill seekers with an avid desire to shoot video and photos of their adventures.

The premiere issue provides tips and tricks for shooting action sports, including surfing, FMX, BMX, aggressive in-line skating, skate boarding, and more. The cover story, "Extreme TV," features a behind-the-scenes look at how ESPN shot X Games IX using helmetcams, frogcams, flycams, and more. There's also an in-depth look at wide-angle lenses-the essential accessory of action sports photography and videography -- and an interview with combat videographer Mike Elwell, whose footage of the war in Iraq aired on ABC.

"One of our objectives in publishing Xtreme Video Magazine is to bring together both novice and professional videographers and photographers-reaching those who already shoot extreme action while introducing it to the curiosity seekers," says Scott Gentry, Group Director of CMP Media Digital Video Group. "Furthermore, Xtreme Video Magazine will be reaching professionals shooting for ESPN, Eco-Challenge, etc., as well as the Gen X and Y crowd with a passion for action sports and high-tech gear. There is a huge market for high-tech photography and video gear used in capturing life at the edge."
