MSP Trailor vs Absinthe Tariler

Futureproof was fantastic, and Absinthe's new Trailer looks sick. But I'm also stoked on the ski trailers from this year. So far Photoplay was my favourite. I think snowboard movies can be a inspiration to ski movies. But don't compare them just enjoy both.
 
Wow some of you need to stop hating and leave the internet right this moment... I HATE when people come out and say OMG mYy SmALL film COmApNY IS BEETER! and MSP takes away everything from skiing. Why not just stop now and realize that these movies are going to be better than small film company's. Yes this is because of budget and sponsoships etc. Stop with the MSP hating jesus...
 
thanks dude for the write up. I had heard the same thing from a couple other people but didn't really feal like trying to explain it. Why do you think Dumont and some other guys are with MSP this year kids?
 
if your conclusion is that skiing sucks and thatsnowboarding is pointed in a better direction u suck.

Skiing and Snowboarding are equally sick. but msp just sucks at cinematography. did

you watch the skiing? the trailer had some really sick skiing, just cliche filming.

my conclusion is that your opinion would be different if the people at absinthe films only made skiing flicks.

last year absinthe put out a movie and david melancon did a switch nine over chads, and so did tanner. bigger picture and pbp AND absinthe did great jobs filming the same thing, in slightly different mediums.

did you see teddy bear crisis??

ill cinametography, amazing skiing, and fitting soundtrack.
 
oh yea and saying that skiing will never reach the level of snowboarding is bs because its ski-filmmaking that we are talking about not skiing as a sport. in its own regards its pushing hard.
 
Yes I have, and those aren't exactly "small" film company's. Go to the teaser section on NS, then you will see what i am talking about. If they think MSP is taking away from there films, that's just downright dirty.
 
Speaking of Absinthe and Ostness does anybody know if they worked toghether at all? Teddybear Crisis and Futureproof both featured some of the same booters, not too mention the half-pipe gap jump and the same huge backcountry gap. Plus in the new Absinthe trailer there is the same step-down gap that Mike Wilson hit in TBC. Just kinda curious if these guys worked toghether cause that would actually be pretty sweet.
 
if MSP just made films, that wouldn't be downright dirty, or be 'taking' away from the "small" films. its what they do on the side thats downright dirty.
 
heres what I think i subliminally concluded while amking this thread but was too tired to think:

Absinthe is the eptiome of a creative orignal film company. like MSP, they have a pretty large budget, because when snowboarding formed, i guess, emphasis was put on creaqtivty and progression and those companies were reward with sales and $$$$-also snowboarding doesn't have an older fartbag population to support lame warren-miller-esque companies. somehow the snowboarding industry managed to reward the creative, orginal progressive film companies and thats why snowboardin films are so good today.

MSP-when skiing began to get cool again MSP emerged, touting big moutnian as the evolution of skiing. luckily they found seth, and he basically made them who they are today. i'm guessing that the sales of seth-driven (mcconkey helped too) 'ski-movies' they established themselves as a prominent ski company, and thus, became heavily endorsed...$$$=MSP. with a huge budgety MSP proceeds to do teh same shit every year: a huge jump in whistler, super slow-mo esthetic semi-progressive newschool tricks against the sunset...pollard in SM3 (2002) henrik? (that 7 tail) in fucking 2006-2007 same fucking formula same fuckign shit. absinthe with this huge budget has apparently been using BC cable-cams a fuckgin huge development with allowance of sick rediculous bc shots. i will put my faith in absinthe for revolutionizing big mountain shots too, to eliminate that "far away an on mountain" shot. i guess if you have a heli, thats sort of taken car eof though ($$$$$$$$).

TBC in my opinion was skiing version of absinthe. not to knock on the smaller progressive comanies, but somehow TBC, prolyl through ostness/rostrups names (through previous films etc.), locked onto several sick athletes and sponsors, and managed to get a good sized budget (though much smaller than MSP's you can be sure). just like absinthe they used sick shots (cable cams over snowbird halfpipe, not bc yet but close), and waaaaaaaaaaaay creative editing giving a fresh movie that flowed amazingly and demands rewatching just liek crack demands resmoking (i think i'm seriousyl going to go rewatch it now). the genius of ostness lied in his knowledge of the LCC and rediculosu gaps/lines etc, another key feature of sick progressive movies.

in summary.

Absinthe represents teh epitome of a progressive orignal film company, while MSP represents the epitome of a stagnant, unoriginal ski company who locks onto a winning formula, steals teh best athletes from progressive companies, and tehn produces the ame shit every year.

i viewed TBC as skiing savior comapny whose popularity could grow, sales would grow and sponsor would learn tghat progessive ski companies woudl be the best investment, insetead of the same-old same-old. i guess that vision is fucked and we're stuck with awful MSP for awhile. FUCK MSP
 
are you kidding? skiing is progressing sooooo much faster than snowboarding is, snowboarding has already progressed and cant do much more and skiing is catching up really really fast.
