Why do ski movie trailers try to be so epic?

umm what ski movies do you watch, specifically the hit list, has such a variety of music, Booter crunk

does too (although that movie sucked) also War had a huge variety of music and that movie was ridiculous... so honestly i dont see how there isnt variety, there are skiers that are BC and dont dress as thug then there are those who are more park and tend to dress more thug, and vice versa... so dont say there is no variety
 
oh yeah and thanks brain was better than any ski movie ive ever seen (except maybe tbc) ski movies suck nuts, skiing is fun, why hide it by trying to look like a bunch of badass tools?
 
look at the top ski films: MSP, Rage, Poor Boyz, Theory-3, etc... how do they stand above the rest? most people will say top pros but in hindsight Theory-3 and Rage don't have the same athlete lists that MSP and Poor Boyz have so they need to make something people want to watch. personally, i don't like watching a film that is simply trick to trick to trick to trick (ie Ski Porn). now companies are realizing that they need to make films that not only have a high level of riding but are also aesthetically pleasing. the sunset shots from MSP or the night-time shots from Rage and even the blower pow from Theory-3 make the viewer want to watch it again and again.

the whole EPIC trailers are a testament to the film makers' desire to make a good film and that film making has evolved from being some guy filming his friends hitting jumps. the use of helicopters, ziplines, a dolly (more in bike films), etc... show that people are getting creative and are trying to find that new angle for their shots.

if want to shit on companies for making films and trying to make them enjoyable for you, the consumer, go ahead. but everyone else will still challenge you to make something better than them!

 
Why is that a bad thing? You should be stoked that they are actually putting effort into making the cinematography creative and interesting instead of taking freelance footage from any punk with a GL2 just because it has a good trick in it.
 
this comment is one of the truest comments on NS. I could get into it deeper but a majority of people on here wouldnt understand.
