Would you guys like to see ski movies go in this direction?

check out the surf movie campaign 2. the surfing doesnt tie into the story line, but between segments is hollywood segments that all tie together. its fucken funny and its a breath of fresh air in an industry where everyone takes themselves so seriously. every pro surfer and his mother has their own film about them and the majority of the time its just like one 40 minute segment of that surfer.

risk sports like, skiing, surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, biking, freestyle mx, etc. are serious sports. the risks involved are intense and the athletes which partake in these sports are just as talented as any athlete in any other distinguished sport. however all of these sports were born out of rebellion for the norm. the people who started them were considered punks and rebels. i can assure you everyone started these sports because they are fun. for me the documentation of the sports should show that. i want to see the heavy risk, the life or death situation, but i want to see the late night antics on a day off heliskiing in the AK. i want to watch pros be themselves and shows the good times they have riding. much like the robot food movies, or the old whiskey series or the wildcat films. show and prove was a step in the right direction showing the lives of the athletes and the subject matter wasnt fun topic, and tanner seems like an intense guys who gets shit done when it comes to skiing. the thing that makes me the most inpired is people having a good time. movies these days shows the stomped trick but leave out the hoots and hollers. i dont care if its ridiculous cinema worthy footage. a handycam on a pow days for a few shots just to show the interation between a bunch of riders stoked to be out skiing pumps me up way more then the matrix styled shots of the msp. i think future releases by the bigger picture and movies like "the idea", are going to really breath new life into our stagnant film industry. just like amateur releases end up being some of the most talked about films of the season. i wore out my burger time vhs because i watched that movie so much. anyways keep making movies, any new ideas are good ideas.
 
i watch ski porn, skimatic, lss, and anomaly on a daily basis, straight through.

i CANNOT watch show and prove from beginning to end everyday, i skip through and what-not.

im sure i would do the same with your movies' idea.

its great the first 2 times, but over and over again its sort of annoying and i find myself skipping through the dvd.
 
Definetly show more fun check out "SUCH IS LIFE" best movie of all time ever. That is what ski movies should look like
 
Switch ( a snowboard/plot movie) was like that, from the trailer it looked pretty good but unfortunatley it never came out cause the director stole all the money or something. But it had dope snowboarders acting aswel.
 
cool idea to try something different, and deffinitely a good job putting that 5 minute movie together, but I wouldn't be able to watch that more than a couple times without getting bored with it...
 
i disagree with you cooper

cuz just skiing with absolutly no plot to it is kinda boring and shows that the producer basically sucks cuz he isnt doing his job

but a movie with a good plot intro and story line seems more attractive to myself

and if you dont like it they make this wonderful button on your remote so you dont even have to get up from your comfy ass chair

its called fast forword :D
 
Show and prove is so sick to watch, it has everything

other then anomoly, i still havent seen any of those movies start to finish...i got bored as shit.

As for making ski movies fun and showing bails and stuff...best feeling movie to date for me is THAT from Forum (snowboard movie)

KILLER vibe...very well done
 
Plot,

Kids have to ski themselves out of the ghetto before the police take them down. They jib shit and avoid prostotutes while stopping for some dope once in a while.
 
there is, but as i said, and if you read i wasnt given enough time to get the point/ideas across. i was only aloud to make a 5 minute feature hency why the plot is hard to get.
 
So make another movie on your own terms and see how it flows. I liked what I saw, just make it a teasr for a bigger prjkt.
 
for sure i'd love to do that! But it wont get to happen soon. i dont have the time or footage at this point to put something like this into workings. Plus i am going out to Cali for work. But more than anything i wanted to get an idea if this is something people would like to see down the road.
