Got round to watching this today and was really impressed by how well you have edited this and the climbing was awesome loads of psyche excellent stuff 

[r-man]

Watched last night. Very good! Well done to the man from UNCLE.

Excellent job Mr Uncle, I'll have to send a small token of my appreciation. I hope I'm not alone in that.

I have got a problem playing it on VLC on one machine though (1 out of 3 - the others are fine). The frame rate is fine but it all looks overexposed/yellow. Anyone else had that? It's not the film. I did google for some vlc help but it made my head hurt.

Did you get my payment Unc?

Awaiting some visual pleasure

[Nibile]

i finally watched it yesterday night and it completely spoilt my sleep. excellent stuff really.
also, i was afraid that uncle had put, for the love of truth, also footage of my failure on the problems we tried together: luckily he's a nice guy and didn't.

Quality film, very well shot and amazing clear images got me ridiculously psyched to go to font 

[Fultonius]

Woops, been trying to dowload the direct link but it's slooooow.

So I'll be nice and do it the torrent way then seed it for a while. (how long is a reasoanble time to seed for? i can't seed at night as my pooter is too damn noisy and I can't sleep)

I've already downloaded about 40% of it direct, is there any way I can continue on from there with the torrent, or would I have to start from scratch?

See comments further down this thread about renaming the file.

Its usual not to seed for a specified period of time, but rather until your ratio of uploads to downloads is > 1 (i.e. you've essentially uploaded at least one copy of that which you've downloaded).  Your Torrent client should be able to tell you the ratio at any given time of a torrent that is being seeded (and note that you can have a ratio > 1 whilst your still downloading).

Just watched this last week, good work uncle. A great film.

Couple of cool points; etranger conforms to the e=s rule if you want an english translation (like ecole and epice).

In Ned Feehally's bit the shadows form the image of Jesus on his forearm while he is doing the problem (might need to view on HD).
Bizzare, but definitely there. Maybe he gained divine guidance at that point?

[Johnny Brown]

That's not 'the image of Jesus' its 'the shadow of Keith'!

[SA Chris]

He doesn't look a bit like Jesus.

[Jaspersharpe]

How can you be so sure!?

Everyone knows 'Gee'sus is bald

[SA Chris]

He talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young

Finally got round to watching this last night (I downloaded it ages ago, but I'm guessing that one of my kids hid the disc - anyway, found it amongst a load of music cds).

A fine effort Keith and remarkable considering that much of the camera work was done solo. As JB said, your eye for framing a shot is impressive. I loved the subtle touches of humour and the intensity of the harder ascents too.

Also loved the music, and can thoroughly recommend the Insignificance album which the Jim O'Rourke track came from, one of my favourites of recent times.

I read the stuff on your blog about the percentage of people who made a voluntary contribution - I guessed 5%; I asked Ray Wood and he said 15%. How wrong we were.

[Jaspersharpe]

Have any / many more donations filtered through since you calculated those statistics Keith? I guessed that about 20% would make some sort of contribution. Miles out!

[Paul B]

Maybe your not soooo far out Jasper, I had 2-3 failed downloads and  so did a number of other people looking at the comments

[Johnny Brown]

That still doesn't turn 20% into 1% though does it.

[unclesomebody]

In total, up until today, 41 people have donated. The film was actually hosted on bleau.info too and they've told me that it's been watched over 2000 times since it was put on there. I estimate that over 2000 people have downloaded it from me, via torrent, or via another website that it was hosted on. This is a conservative estimate based on the fact that some people would have had failed downloads. It doesn't take a genius to do the maths, but the donation percentage is still around 1%.

I'm happy that lots of people saw it, which was ultimately more important to me than trying to make any money. This certainly won't be the case for my next film... which I'm hoping will enable me to buy a house in the hills and spend the rest of my life sipping cristal and fingerboarding.

sipping cristal and fingerboarding. 

C'mon Keith, you will have to find time for some one armers as well.....

[rodma]

Hi Keith

Have just downloaded this from your site this morning and am looking forward to watching it with sound when I get home. Will head across now and use your donate button.

One question though, where is the download link for the non-HD version? I couldn't find it at all

Cheers

Roddy

  errr... what? You mean you use 2 arms when you go on the fingerboard?

[a dense loner]

can i ask seriously why people thought that a fifth of people would contribute? this is not to get keiths back up, just a brief look into the human psyche

  more than I would have expected.

But I would have expected more than 1%, perhaps 3-5% and I would have expected most to have viewed it first then made a donation.

Lots of people pay £20 or so to watch Dosage 6 or E11 or whatever. To me, Keith's film is way better and more relevant than any of that shite so to not even bung him a couple of quid (which is NOTHING) to say nice one seems fucking rude. Perhaps assuming that four fifths of the climbing population are tightarsed, taking cunts who are happier receiving than giving ( ) and a fifth not is far too optimistic. It seems so. And it's spelled SYKE by the way.
