monthly dose for you all

[Doylo]

Ace SA vid, got me motivated. Gutted there was no footage of Dense shuffling his booty tho

[b3n99]

Thought I was bored of SA clips until this! Nice to see some footage of the geordie dark horse sending hard, off to train because of it all!!

[Nibile]

the Rocklands video is amazing.
makes me really want to go there for the first time.
then, again it'd be pointless, I'd miss the company.

thanks.

[Fiend]

All about 11:14 - 11:15 in the SA video

Bit gutted we didn't get any footage of Dense. He did only stay for a miserable 3 weeks though.

[Stu Littlefair]

Tomorrow... is probably the best looking bouldering vid I've seen to date. Good work chaps!! If you combined this quality of footage with more "storytelling" you'd have a real classic on your hands.

[Wood FT]

Real nice, great effort to all involved. You could film a slug with those cameras and it would be captivating but glad its climbing. Got me looking forward to the full thing!

Um..  it is the full thing isn't it?
I too thought it was mint, but would also like a bit of talking/storytelling. Not necessarily loads, but a bit would be nice.

The uk film 'life on hold' is the main project. We'll be working hard on that until march. Expect more of a story, better shots and Dan Varian.

You can't have too much Varian....

Amazing video, looks so slick and the climbing is very very motivating. I thought Micky Page was strong but changing you shoes whilst on holds that small is something else (3.12 on)

all joking apart one of the best films I'v seen in years. Makes Pure look like a youtube video

[Doylo]

The lack of story telling didnt detract from it for me because it was done well. I know how much most climbers hate being interviewed.especially when they re on holiday. I also struggle to sit through all the rocklands vids but this was easy peasy in one sitting.keep up the good work!

[dave]

I liked it. Was really well shot, especially in some blatantly challenging lighting. Good to see grads used for video. Good smooth pans etc without it drawing attention to itself. Sat through it virtually in a oner, which is good going considering I was bored 5 minutes into Between The Trees.

I thought it could have done with some story/talking/narrative though. And maybe some more ambient noise, something lacking for the most part. I always find it strangely distracting when you've got music, someone climbing, but no climbing noises. Can make the action seem detatched (http:bloc did this too). That bit of mickey on the second 8b+ came alive for me because it had climbing noises.

Story == driving to the crag? 

Nalle in Fontainebleau

[Nibile]

I think there's a clear story in the Rocklands video:
I go,
I crush,
I enjoy.
the end.

If you want to see climbers being interviewed at Rocklands, just watch Specimen.

You can't have too much Mina....

There, fixed that for ya... 

[Andy B]

How dare you! There were no Geordies on that trip.

Video's OK but the tortoises are a bit small.

[Ru]

Story == driving to the crag? 

I tend to think the same. If you're filming some great character, or there really is a story to tell, or you capture some nice moments then including that sort of stuff would improve the film, but to be honest I can do without the driving to the crag or the "I like bouldering because of the freedom and craic with my mates" type interviews. I enjoyed the lack of any of that in this film.

[SA Chris]

Unless there is some genuinely funny banter, fuck the story, get on with the bearing down.

[Wood FT]

I'm not so much bothered about any characters coming through, I do enjoy it when you get a feel of the trip though a la west coast gimps. Personal battles are always a winner too, rich Patterson in stone love for example

[Muenchener]

There's a really good interview with Dave [Graham] at udini:

http://udinigallery.com/index.php?option=com_gallery2&Itemid=117&g2_itemId=16849

I watched that I while ago and really enjoyed it. Definitely an endearing touch of Dawesesque mad genius.

[Muenchener]

the Rocklands video is amazing.

I watched it last night. Great fun, although I did note that, unlike in the all-too-brief footage of Mina Leslie-Wowsohot, we did not get any lingering closeups of the boys' bottoms during topouts. Somebody should organise a symposium about it.

[Moo]

dosage 5 struck the best balance for me between crag crack and bearing down, if I had to go one way or the other though I'd do what these guys have done good job folks
