Looks amazing. And I'll be there in a few months...

I'm guessing you've already clocked Derek Thatcher's Flickr Stream.

Enjoy yourself when you're there (stupidly never made the effort to visit NZ).

So will I! If you can get hold of it there is a good NZ article in the US mag URBAN CLIMBER, the Feb/March issue.

Does anyone know the song in the Castle Hill video?

Richie Crouch · July 17, 2010, 10:37:35 pm

That Derek Thatcher video is superb. I thought Castle Hill was meant to mantling out of polished toilet bowls but most of those problems look class, especially like the last one shown

Dub Survivor - Salmonella Dub, off the One Drop East album.

Cheers DM.

I'll just drop this here.
The next instalment from our trips.
Credit for making the video goes to Jack Smith-Keegin.

Embedding is much easier than I thought...what is with the 'embed' thing on vimeo vids leaving a whole load of ribbish all over the sides?
shmeh - what do I care.

Hope you enjoy!

Its because the Embed code from Vimeo is html code, whilst these forums utilise BBcode for mark up (so that users of forums don't have to learn the intricacies of html code.....)

...
ok

I guess that is nice of them...I just wont try and understand it.

Johnny Brown · July 27, 2010, 03:28:17 pm

Quality of footage out of all proportion to the climbing there Camear - what was it filmed on?

GCW · July 27, 2010, 03:33:20 pm

Looks like a Canon 7D to me.

With a 24-105 lens.

Baldy · July 27, 2010, 03:45:18 pm

It says under the video I think

Canon 7D

Jack (who made it) bought it earlier this year I think and had some seriously good stuff. 1.2 lens, 1.4 lens etc etc. big bag of gear - I hear that having loads of expensive stuff completely guarantees a good video and must be the only reason I havent made anything particularly impressive.
However I think I should put in a word for the hard work syncing moves to music and all the other little things he did with it, vignetting, slo mo, adjustments and so on.

Enough gushing of praise though. I shall stop.
The other videos on his profile are done with a typical HD camcorder (can't remember which though)

dm · July 28, 2010, 08:35:30 am

Interesting to see that bloke start the mantel with no sunnies, and finish it with them...

Baldy · July 28, 2010, 01:25:55 pm

I told him someone would spot that.
We reckoned that since I was facing away it might be less noticeable.

grumble...

What an amazing line.

rodma · July 30, 2010, 01:17:41 pm

Nice video and nice looking linkup that, But

I hate the advertising pish at the start, i appreciate that folk have sponsors to please, but i doubt it takes anyone 6 seconds to read each logo. 6 seconds is long enough to think...........hmmmm prana, i quite like prana, when is the climbing going to start, fuck prana, why won't they get their logo off my screen, i just wanted to see tom climb the, oh here we go, oh no it's metolius etc.........

1 second each, max, would suffice, especially with recognisable brands.

andy_e · July 30, 2010, 01:26:27 pm

It was done to fit with the music, and I hate sponsor logos too, but meh, it's only a short video and if you really wanted to not watch some logos for a few seconds, then just look away or skip through it.

This might of already been on here, but I can't be arsed to check the previous 88 pages....

WOW - a brief preview shows my embedding skills off perfectly. I think a film always looks better surrounded by hieroglyphics

Was it only me that noticed about a half a ton of torn down trees at 2.09 used to patio out the landing, fucking disgrace, they're not exactly fast growing in Utah.
Right where's me drum, I'm gonna be late for the workshop..

Why do you hate sponsors logos? Why did you put them in if you hate them so much? Did Tom ask for them to be included? Or did you have a pow-wow with the CEO of Metolius and Prana and come up with a concept for the video?
I'm not taking the piss (well I am a bit

) I'm just curious about why the logos are there.

Anyway nice climbing

andy_e · July 30, 2010, 08:50:25 pm

Tom and I discussed this, as it's essentially a publicity video (I believe) for a few commercial events in the next few weeks. I don't hate sponsor logos that much, but I wouldn't normally use them unless a) I'd been given financial support by that company to make a video or b) it was a company that is homegrown and could use the publicity. Meh, whatever, I know you're not having a go (or much of one, at least) and it's only a few seconds of film and anyway, the same footage is available on a video without any logos and with many many more fantastic problems that yorkshire has to offer.
