I'll have to watch them all properly with sound at home but Kim's vid is great - the start is well funny; I was thinking "what's going on here" before an psychotic looking Scouse suddenly launches into view - nice  :)

worth remembering that your place in climbing history is guaranteed, what with your photo in the nWales bouldering guide. Well i say guaranteed - only to those who own a good quality magnifying glass.

Post by: Bubba on May 20, 2004, 09:11:42 pm
I've just watched all of them back to back and I do think that Kim's is the best film.

Fast paced, but nicely edited, not a "cut-fest" and a good mix between the road-trip, the bouldering and the forest itself. Nice use of music to seperate the different parts of the film and some clever use of slow-motion/fast-forward effects without becoming over the top.

2nd I'd put the Hueco film - the stills at the start were good and a good chilled soundtrack, well framed camera-work and some good looking bouldering.

3rd would be the Squamish film - mainly close in camera work of the harsh looking granite bouldering at the base of the big wall of Squamish Chief. A sort of claustrophic feel to it, and a really nice soundtrack - what's that track anyone?

4th Sherman Roof clip - It conveys how it can feel sometimes when you're sessioning a project all day, and the problem looks excellent - nothing wrong with the film apart from just a bit relentless, and the framing wasn't so good at times.

i was thinking 800 as an amount rather than a self-contianed unit. Maybe you could start making painkiller products especially for boulderers - 1g ibs, , ibuprofen+caffine enery drinks etc...

Like it Stu - bet you feel a bit odd carrying a pad in HK  :D

Only complaint is there's a bit which is a bit too compressed and I couldn't see it properly, but apart from that it's an interesting bit of film, and the bouldering looks good too - must be nice to have all that to yourself!

Yeah, I saw that when we got back, but those comments about it being 7a/ 6c+ are from people who have started from the high hold on the left. From which position that grade is probably about right. The crux moves of the problem is pulling off the ground from the lower holds (that are the only holds most people could reach from the ground on one or no mats) and reaching that higher hold. I think that is what the later poster on there is implying as well. Those other guys are obviously either well tall or using more than one mat.

(this also justifies me whinging at you for trying to reach that higher hold from the ground :wink: maybe.)
Title: Video Contest
Post by: dave on May 24, 2004, 04:32:51 pm
aye, but i still couldn't pull onto the high hold, QED it must be harder than 7a :wink:

Was completely put off the Kubrick vid by the awful soundtrack - not even inspired to watch it without the sound. When that guy is filming midnight lightning, wouldn't you have got that other bloke to move, or at least cut him out? spoils it really.

the camera could have use a tripod there anall - looks proper shakey otherwise innit.

Post by: Bubba on May 28, 2004, 11:55:56 am
There's one of them where the soundtrack is badly done, with no attempt to mix / cut stuff together, just one track ends and the other one starts.

Framing seems to be a common problem, you often get hands / feet missed out of the shot, which can be frustrating.

They are! Very crimpy and you've gotta be dead accurate on the edges/footwork as some bits are polished to fuck (Midnight Lightning for example)

Still some classics that are ok for the grade like Cocaine Corner V5 - Have to check these vids out when I get home, see if theres anything I recognise.  :)

Font Emotions is one of the best bouldering films ever made (the other two of the top 3 being Glory Days and Lifetime Project), but it doesn't match with this problem list:

All off the top of my head you understand...... :oops:

There's obviously a lot of crossover. Like beetle footage, and footage of Peter Pan etc, but the quoted list doesn't mention Marie Rose etc. So two different films were made? I don't think Poids des Soupirs appears on FE. Don't think there's more than one very brief clip of someone falling off Sale Gosse either?
