and by that i mean...
"if you like pbp movies, you know we follow a formula,"
-yes, they do. it's stale and they need to mix it up and try some different stuff, different music genre, shot framing, locations anything.
"the best skiers"
-clarified above. and a pbp movie is just the top 3-6 tricks by that rider per year. its un apologetic ski porn.
"the best locations"
-questionable. $$$= good locations. what's so special? bc booters. mediocre AK peaks compared to other mov's, urban rails...meh.
"best shots"
-very questionable. HD cams? cable cams?
andreas and jp's war seg were sick, but they just bought andreas' brother's shots and jp edited his own seg. it wasn't pbp-created or driven.
i mean it's all relative. ski shots can look sick without much effort, but taking them to teh next level involves risk, craetivity and well-TRYING-claiming that your producing "the same old formula" is fucking lame. i just feel like in other action sports, the films giants are leading the charge in filming/production not lagging behind.
also-pbp editing is often weak. they should be at where mackdog was 3 years ago, not where they were 3 years ago. an "am" film by montage having better editing in inexcusable.
sorry it's so harsh, and i realize a shitload of work goes into a pbp film but its looking rediculously formulaic. some of it may be out of poor boyz' control (have to film with umptteen # of riders etc.), but htey need to chisel down the # of people they film wiht or something, and make their movies actually flow, its just disjointed segs mini-edits linked together not a movie as a whole.
