New skifilm.com movie!! Roug cut. See trailer here.

thank the lord. i was petrified that they wouldn't release a movie this year after no teaser. now i can rest easy : )
 
i've said it before and i'll say it again. nobody does follow cams like skifilm.no. not even matchstick. so sick.
 
Yah... suddenly the link isn't working.. weird.

It worked, the whole thing loaded, then I clicked on another video on skifilm.no and suddenly it doesn't work. Guess the servers down
 
i just splooged all over my keyboard and screen...i think ive watched it like 10 times...did you see that 60-100 foot urban...
 
wow, just wow. Brilliant filming.

Good stuff, although jon hatveit's skills I think are limited in park. It could be so sick with big mountain lines, pow butter Idea style, huge BC booters, and gnarly follow cam with lines and such. I wouldn't buy this movie, but it has so much potential for the future.
 
Well yeah, he's mastered or is close to mastering his field in the park. So he could expand out to the mountains and start filming lines, cliffs, powder/powder butters, and such to make it more appealing to people who don't normally ski that sort of stuff. The big mountain filming out there is not nearly on the same level as park, simply because park is much easier to film. All I'm saying is that with his skill he could try to spice up another very important and amazingly awesome part of skiing.
 
oh, i see where you're coming from, but you have to consider the safety apect... many big mtn lines being skied are sketch enough with the weight of 1 guy on, let alone 2, plus with follow/helmet cams, often pow flies up and coats the lense...
 
right, but you have to agree that it would be pretty sick to have a follow cam for butters and such. I agree that super sketchy big mountain lines are just too gnarly for good filming. However, there are definitely some ways to get around that. Look at TBC where the cameraman is following mike wilson side to side, down a moderately steep slope. I think that with an already paved out path a cameraman could bomb down switch with the camera looking backwards, it could work out brilliantly. It would be sketch though, you'd have to have a very long flat runout for the cameraman.

However, I really don't have the skill to do that while filming a screaming fast line. I do think that filmers with the caliber of Jon Hatveit do though, and it could prove to be pretty damn sick.
 
I'm not that fond of skifilm's movie philosophy. The tricks are awesome, and the follow-shots are mostly excellent, but the editing and the whole presentation of their movies have always seemed way to unprofessional and sloppy to me. I guess with "Rough Cut" they're finally admitting it.

Looks like Poorboyz helped them out with the logo?
