Thank you  Yeah, its a cool problem, they start is slightly differantly on you tube but its the same thing. Great rock up there!
Its all about the jump on Harvey though

I know what you mean Sasquatch but I think there can be good fluff and bad fluff and I think Pedra's is normally the good sort. I feel like I'm getting a little glimpse in to a local scene and don't mind in all remains a little enigmatic and not quite defined.

And the climbers always seem to be trying really hard, which is always fun to watch.

I see what you mean, and agree it's normally good fluff.  I'm just hoping to give a bit of feedback.  I think the stuff he's producing has some really good quality, and with just a few tweaks he can produce the quality the big boys produce.  I'll admit that I'm interested in heading down to Brazil to boulder, and just from watching his vids.   

F^&* Rocklands and northern summertime - Brazil has salsa hotties in addition to bouldering.

Good work youth.

little video of a short roadtrip earlier this summer, criticisms welcome, only my second video:

[Richie Crouch]

Really enjoyed that Chris, nice soundtrack and a good selection of problems. A couple were a bit too dark to see what was happening. It was nice from a personal view to remember doing those myself over the last few years too! Jason's roof looks amazing. Bet you are keen to get back there

Good video. Effort carting three pads up to Jason's roof!

Your after effects zooming in and out might have looked a little smoother if you'd incorporated the clouds and camera-shake effects I've seen in the tutorials.

its scary how quickly you get used to sleeping in a car

Warning: Contains google-maps-to-the-crag scenes! I'll watch that later, looks good though!

little video of a short roadtrip earlier this summer, criticisms welcome, only my second video:

Video resolution too low
a bit too much driving/walking to the crag
too much falling off at the bowderstone
haircut needed
friends needed

looks like a good trip tho

[tommytwotone]

haircut needed

+1!

I was going to say last night - you clearly need to tip your barber more generously!

Thought the movie was good especially bit at Vitruvian Man, made me want to go climbing at those places again.

One problem i have with bouldering videos in general is the convention of showing numerous attempts on a problem followed by the name and grade of the problem and then the successful ascent, or worse the name and grade of the route staying on screen during the ascent. It totally ruins any will s/he won't s/he tension plus i want to know what we are dealing with as soon we arrive at the problem.

[a dense loner]

I agree with Ben, it's 2012 the name and grade of a problem should be apparent at the start of a problem, and if ure trying to be arty watch the vid yourself b4 putting it out for everyone to see that said name n grade are legible.
I ave absolutely no talent in film making, or any other area, but since Ben is the best climbing filmmaker out there this more than cancels out my uselessness

[andy_e]

Don't do yourself down dense, you're an excellent critic.

What do you find best when said climb is a project, hence no name/grade until after the send?  List it as a project, then name/grade after sendage?

I think title: project-  proposed grade ? then attempts would be fine. Name comes after ascent unless it is already named. Was quite relieved in video of that Finnish guy doing his 8b+ when the music changed and he fell off again. If films do what you expect them to do you are already bored because of the inevitability of it all. Playing with convention is always fun.

Agree on that (which means by proxy I agree with dense, a concern in itself).

Is it a convention or cliche?

[a dense loner]

Don't worry Chris it happens to everyone when they come to their senses

[SA Chris]

I'm sure it's just a blip.

Makes sense.  I'll have to think/figure out more interesting ways to play with convention.
