oh! so i saw this. blew me away. probably the best ski movie ive seen in a long time. big fan of ibergs work. first "new release" ski movie of this year ive seen, probably not going to watch any of the other new ones now cuz this one does it perfect! yup. ill just watch idea, ir77, and thanks brain all winter. its all i need.
this movie is so good it gives me faith in ski movies once again. (see my thread:
https://www.newschoolers.com/web/forums/readthread/thread_id/313374/) the snowboard seg was good cuz it kind of made fun of people like me, but also kind of gave us a pat on the back as well. like, "yeah, those snowboarding movies you like are all fun and goofy, heres us overdoing it, but wait, actually, heres us sincerely being goofy and having fun."
one gripe, actually, was the part of the soundtrack that was sort of downtempo electronic production. the samples were obviously and painfully presets, and i see how it is, you work with what you got. but it had that tacky "my G" sound to it. but only for a second. rest of the soundtrack was nice. i enjoyed the live instruments. and the use of random, sometimes mundane and overlooked sounds, taken right from the field recordings, like the gas pump noises and whatnot. that was gold. its the little touches that make it so nice!
