Just watched one of the bigger productions latest trailer...

Your classic panning out of trucks carrying sleds on the open road..

The full "3, 2, 1, D R O P P I N G" scene..

The Classic narration of escaping ones troubles through accessing the mountains...

What are some you can think of that just get reproduced every year?
 
A b roll shot of the silhouette of somebody ripping climbing skins off at the summit or maybe a chopped up clip of an avalanche or big mountain slam with the sound of a heart beat/ heart monitor over it is a nice touch?

Making turns on questionably steep terrain resulting in unmanageable slough, leading to the skier trying to straight line out of trouble only to hit some unforeseen ripple at Mach 9 and tomahawking 200-300 yards
 
for street videos:

shot of skier hiking up the stairs

DIY hair cut/head getting shaved

smashing stuff (paakku does this well though)

bunch of crash clips at the start of the video

For overproduced pow movies, any dialogue/voiceover talking about how special their connection with the mountains is
 
Narration of how hard it is to be a skier and what it means to be one and all the struggles that comes along with growing up in a Mountain Town in the US from an affluent family.

You forgot about spitting water on the lip in a big spray though granted I havent seen it as much recently
 
Someone has an injury from last season followed by xray photos and PT clips then them hitting a massive cliff 30 seconds later

yeah it's interesting to think about the shots that used to be really common and then got phased out. I remember back when it seemed like every park edit had a shot of a chairlift rotor spinning

Also lots of hugging after a big rail clip
 
Looking at the camera after the shot and then seeing the rider’s reaction. I like this one though, shows probably the most important part of the process and the feeling that we all chase.

- Interview with rider that goes nowhere:

"Just so great to be out here"

"All the homies.."

"Everyone's just soo stoked to be here"

"Everyone's throwing down"

"Its just that feeling that we all chase"

and also

- Time lapse yoga session early in the morning

- Dinner at somebody Moms house
