JP Auclair & Tom Wallisch street segment from Into The Mind

So overproduced. Show us SKIING instead of how much money you wasted on special effects. I hate Into the Mind and everything it stands for /rant
 
Eh. I know how people will complain about the lack of skiing shots but honestly when that part came on in the theater I was stoked. So sick how they re created Jo's all I can segment and tam whamsticks addition to it was sick. I liked it
 
Great idea with the "chasing villain" theme, but they should have stopped after one minute instead of keeping the whole segment that way, it just got annoying.
 
Yeah I have to admit it is really overproduced and crap and its deffinetly not one of my fav seggys but when I watched it again I realized how much work actually went into this and I can respect that. And they're creating a new style of filming and editing which I think is cool cause they're trying something out of the norm and you can't go wrong there.
 
i thought it was fucking great.

the thing you gotta realize is that it's not meant for people like us that can fully tell that those spots don't link together and analyze the shit out of it, it's made for the Joe Schmo's that have no fucking clue but think "well hell that was fucking awesome! did you see that backflip?!"

sometimes with filming lines like that it's hard to make it not boring, hence the chase scene theme. there was only one shot i didn't like and that was when JP was just kind chilling coming down the tunnel with the pictures changing behind him, other than that A+.
 
this. This hate is what's pathetic about ns. You guys hate on a different way of looking at out sport. "Thug" ski edits with rap music, loaded with tricks look stupid to 99% of the world. What Sherpas is trying to create is a different and innovative new view on our sport, one that is appealing to a larger audience the drop out park rats of ns, and for that I applaud them.
 
Saw this at a school screening and a bunch of people were hating on it. It wasn't so much a ski movie in the sense of showing lines and features being hit in gnarly ways, but rather more of a cinematic piece, a story.

I think a lot of people went into it anticipating the same style that almost all ski industry movies adhere to, but it was way more about the experience of skiing told though a story.

I loved it, and that urban segment was super sick. While it was heavily reliant on special effects, it created such a clean effect that was extremely appealing to the eyes. Overall, job well done in my opinion.
 
What the hell, what school do you go to? What school screens ski movies? I'm lucky to see a documentary on Kenyan Liberation
 
Fort Lewis College, biotch!

But then I saw your post about sill being in high school, so it's kind of irrelevant.
 
i totally understand the audience they were targeting and what they were going for, but personally, the spotlighting in that particular shot, and the heavy use of VFX detracted immensely from what could have otherwise been a massively impressive segment.

it wasnt just the auclair/wallisch part either, the halfpipe with the 30 billion overlayed snowboarders... and even the narrative within the segment. he fails and fails and fails, the "plot" reaches a low, and there is no recovery? talk about anticlimactic, by the end of the part it felt more like it was showcasing failure than providing an impressive, stoke generating segment (which again, was taken away from by the billion different snowboarders being overlayed... ADHD much?)

the same can be seen in callum's part, with the snow being vfx'ed away. cool concept, poor, poor execution in my opinion. it took away from the impressiveness of the shots. i see what they were trying to do, but they overdid it on the VFX.

dont get me wrong, i am not trying to say it was a shitty film from a newschoolers "i want to see mind blowing jumps and hits and rails and whatever the fuck you toss in a level 1 movie" but i am saying they MASSIVELY overdid it on the VFX. at the premiere i went to in van they were talking about how they hired this new vfx girl, and from the amount of hype they did about how much of an awesome job she did, the movie seemed a lot like a showcase portfolio reel for her special effects.

if sherpas wants to delve more into merging vfx and skiing like they tried to do in into the mind, they really need to watch some of the knife show edits and what mike benson has put together, and take it down a notch.... or twelve
