I like music over scrittle and grunting. After a quick search on iTunes there is nothing obvious in this genre, so perhaps you are in the minority group. This is no bad thing. It's simply remedied by muting and playing with a bowl of gravel. Then grunt 'til your heart's content. Cue LOB jokes...

Some music is good but all music is simply strange, what does it add? In moderation it works well. But over use, simply kills the 'real' footage. Surely the 'reality' of the bouldering should stand alone as being interesting enough.

Well you are missing my point, of which I'm sure you are aware.

The reality of bouldering for anyone who isn't doing it is probably quite boring. Having a lot of time and effort compressed into a short amount of time with a bit of inspiring or uplifting music must be better than watching the raw footage, warts and all.

Plus I like the idea of turning up to the garden centre for some stones for your sound effects. "Two points, ah, two flats, and a packet of gravel."

The quality of built-in sound recording on the average camcorder is generally very poor, and wind noise is usually unavoidable even with a light breeze unless you've got a fuzzy / windscreen (the thing that looks like a fluffy squirrel's tail). I expect most videos have soundtracks get added primarily because they'd sound really shit otherwise. And possibly because everyone thinks they have great taste in music and wants to share it with the world.

what he said, if there is any wind it'll sounds like some progressive noise mangle circa year 2058. Getting good audio from the climbing is what sets apart the quality from the bloody good quality, it's just most people cant afford shot gun/radio mics.

Can I suggest a commentary as a half way house for bouldering vids in future?

Yep I like that one. So we have 'non quality', 'commentary' and then'quality'.

Perfect example of incredibly annoying editing that i mentioned in the other post that Fiend made. Half or more of the climbing is just cut out. What's the point?

There's a route on Southern Sandstone called that from years ago. Eridge Green IIRC.

Just sneaks into quality i think. Some classics from a recent trip to Torridon. The much sought after Malcs arete is at the end.

First problem is quite drawn out, top was really sandy. Might want to fast forward through top out!

You can't put your own video in the quality section! What is the world coming to? Show some modesty sir!  :spank:

Sorry Adam, the problems and climbing is great - but the cinematography and production is (ahem) not to the same standard... ;)

Straight talking with a gentle approach there TT. Nicely put.
Even if it was epic, you still wait for someone else to blow your trumpet... :yes:

Come on Lincoln, you've been around long enough to know the score. Had I better moderate this into the correct thread?

Mute and Close you eyes and it might just be bearable.

Can't embed this - but great video interview with Fran Brown. Her enthusiasm is so infectious!
