Newshoolers: THe Motion Picture

I got a sick idea in my head. It involves all the best and brightest of newschoolers getting together to make a movie under the title of Newschoolers. Only amatuers involved in the movie, no pros. Everyone in it doing it for the love of the sport. A movie that takes you from coast to coast, north, south, east and west and everywhere in between. Similar to the K2 contest in that there would be a certain criteria to get into the movie and be able to participate in it but there would also be oppurtunity for everyone from the site to offer input. It would include all the best riders from different areas across the country. Provide short input into there mountains culture. The people editing the footage would be amatuers too. Something really original and creative that would become "The Amatuer Ski Movie". I think companies would want to get involved in sponsering the video because it includes us, the youth, the future of skiing, i think it would unify newschoolers. This video would help the best from newschoolers that are infront of the camera and behind the camera to get connected to the industry and change skiing forever.



I think this is going to blow up.

were looking for kids that are passionate about it, on both sides, on skis and on the keyboards.

i think you should just have anyone who has a clip or small edit they think is worthy of being in the film, send it to you or whoever organizes it, and then go through all the clips and decide what stays and goes, then maybe edit them into sections for each region of the country. like instead of having like one skiers segment, have the VT. Segment and the Midwest Segment and the Whistler Segment and so on, any large enough compilation of clips becoming its own section and then just putting the kids name on the screen for their clips, but not giving everyone there own section persay.

thats my two cents on this idea
i really hope it comes together

yea it sounds dope. we could have like different types of segments too, like all mountain, urban, park, rail, big air, backcountry, telemark??, back yard, and any other aspects that i didnt mention.

or we could also divide the movie up in like east canada, central, west, and then all the parts of the states.

i think this would actually be pretty cool. and then like i said before, we should all get together at a main resort, like whistler blackcomb, cause the sponsor us, and just have a big newschoolers party/ski weekend/week. just a bunch of partying and skiing.

also, if someone can send me that cult invite again cause i went there, and i dont really know how to join. like since we got the new format.

I think what we need is someone to send movie clips too within each region, they look over the clips and pick out the best ones and then send em on. What do you guys think?

i think one person editing this isn't gonna work. there's so many people that would send stuff in. You might need to have at least one editor for each section of the country/world. Youd definitely need one guy for Whistler, and probly one just for Breck/Vail/Keystone. And then some for out east, etc.

Yah thats what I mean, one or several people per area/resort. Im from Seattle, so someone would cover the ALpental/Stevens/Baker area, someone from Oregon would cover that area etc...

alright. good idea. but people on NS are not only from the States or Canada. It would be sick if it was a global thing. Anyone that had footage, or interviews or anything could send it to a certain location where some people would sift through and select the best. then edit. could be sick

This is a nasty idea. Even though its just amatuers skiing footage, it will still sell (probally even more) because the majority of the ski world is amatuer, and the amatuers will watch it because they can relate to it. Real real creative, good luck with it and ill get involved howevere I can. holla

This is such a good idea, I don't get why some people are hating on it. It wouldn't have every member of NS, however many it would take it put together a solid 45, 50 minute movie. People could submit videos to be judged and then the best videos could be edited and pieced together. I'd throw down money to see that.

You'd have to send in just the skiing though so it could all be pieced together right. If everybody edited their own it would get messy.

Shot gun southern Hemisphere, I have already started guys, Im making one already, I travel the world shooting what I See, from the WSI to ISPO the the floating rail jam on Sydney Harbour, its alot of work and really expensive but I swear its really rewarding, plus I have met heaps of cool people on the way. Just film everythinjg, thats they key, would be great to do this and I would happily colaborate with any one on this, im not a master of final cut but im capable. The best fun is doing a follow cam of some one who doesnt know your filming, its completely natural. get me in the cult on this so we discuss in more detail, but i have the hardware to do this, problem is I live on the other side of the world to almost all of you. I think a cool Idea would be to only use peoples Screen names. I dont like the idea of the top 30 riders though, so what if the movie is 3hours long, thats why dvds have chapters, the point is that it should be in OUR movie so EVERYONE should have a shot at being in it, rather than peoples segments we could look at segments by location only, so instead of a 1 min vid of a person we would use a 1min vid of a mountain or area. Any way thats my spin on this, we could look at solid powder for ideas.

You keep talkign about everyone shooting their own footage and sending it in. How many people on here do you honestly think have cameras shooting DVD quality movie? I really like this idea...but it will be extremely hard to pull off.

i think alot of ppl on here have camera for dvd quality movie.... i mean by no means would it be a high def film but who cares... this thing would make so much money cause every1 on NS would want to buy it... im sure you could even get some corperate sponsors in on this thing... has the potential to be the most bought ski movie of the year

this wouldnt work because its too broad, they tried making an all ny movie and people have tried making an all vt movie, too many people, and not everyone will agree on one type of editing, music, themes, ect. and the quality of each camera is going to change so frequently that its going to get annoying to watch.

Thats why one or two people should run it, and in the end, those two decide who gets to be in and what shots and what music...
