Eh! Just watched the episode 6 as well. Mixed feelings...

I had to turn the sound off. Found these mildly diverting, but not that bothered they are over.

Last episode...

The slab looked real good

[standard]

What a monster

[weakdave]

A beast on some awesome problems!!!!! Is there a download for that vid? Its not on vimeo

[T_B]

What a monster

Wowza. The most impressive one in there has got to be Air Star? Every wad that's ever set foot in Rocklands must have looked at that and this is the 1st repeat. It's such a stunning looking line - massive and miles between the holds.

[gme]

amazing. Not watched a climbing short for years and that was amazing.

Made my palms sweat.

Now back to work.

[Eddies]

lol. Love the mat placement at 4:20

''You know what they say about English weather? Well this is not something they made up.''  Very good.

Potentially good video that, nice to see the scotland shit. Didn't like the time lapse, or the driving to the crag, false DOF effects or the instagram colours though; just seemed like distractions that add no value. I wish people would give that stuff up.

[SA Chris]

Word on that Dave.

"the rock in Scotland is mainly mica shist" if this was the case I would have fucked off long ago.

[andy_e]

Wow, imagine Malc's Arête but made out of Mica Schist! It'd be 6 foot high and sharp. Oh wait, it already exists in the form of the Prow at Portlethen...

Damn, I was just editing a driving to the crag time lapse, instagram stylee with tilt shit shift...

[Nibile]

It's beautifully artificial, or artificially beautiful.
The climber seems a proper beast.

I think there's a time and place for each different type of filming.  I didn't have any problem with te time lapse, the scenery or such.  I think having the whole thing be off color was a bit too much.  For certain scenes, sure it's fine, but there's a time and a place to use it.  It felt like too much of a dream, and not enough reality.. 

I find that for introductions to crags/areas you've never been to or seen, the driving and time lapse give a sense of that area to make it somehow more relatable, which I like.

[dave]

Don't get me wrong, there's nowt wrong with the odd timelapse, they're nowhere near as objectionable as the out-of-date-polaroid colours. Its just they seem to be becoming a bit trite/cliched at the minute, and for me the novelty of seeing one was long since worn off, especially when it seems like half of the videos you see now have a timelapse before every scene.

I suspect its the nature of the beast... in bouldering there is generally a couple of hours of ferk all for a couple of mins of action - so its a good way of trying to convey all that. Personally I like making time lapses when there are things moving in the scenery - like clouds rushing by, or sheep wandering randomly around in the field. Then there seems to be some sort of artistic (take with a pinch of salt with my shitty films!) merit in using them...

[andy_e]

They can make fantastic intros/segues but every man and his dog are using them nowadays. Dave's after a new angle. I'm thinking of using "driving back from the crag to the pub" footage in my next short. No-one's done that before.

Heli-cam shots are also becoming too mainstream now.. How about starting underground and the camera emerging from below... 

[dave]

if people were really "creative" they'd learn to paraglide and film swooping silent flypasts from the air. But since I've just thought of it, its already unoriginal and old hat.
