Enough 1 hit shots

I want to see more than 1 hit shots in movies in the park. I want to see lines or something other than just one jump, many hits, next jump somewhere else, many hits, urban rail, ect.

it is to hard to get clean movie quality follow cam shots.  The movie would not look near as good.  You can maybe set up for two jumps or two rails in a row but that is about it. They are trying to make a masterpiece and the cleaner and better shots they have for the film the better it will turn out.

Cable-cams and ziplines would make it all possible.

I liked in Skimatic when they would do follow cam of like 3 tables in row...and i agree that is more interesting to watch because it seems more real...

I would say it's because most park jumps in a movie are for photo shoots.  It takes a lot of snow, cat hours, time, money to build that one hit.  Two is just silly. 

and as far as BC..... finding a good jump spot and building a kicker is hard enough, muchless two.  the only time i've seen it done was Afterlame.

ya skimatic had some good ones.  It'd be better to have some more line shots to give the movie more flow.

cable cams and ziplines! oh you guys!

how about a deathlense (fish for jumps) and a filmer that knows how to ski. Im backing this thread, maybe having to film lines would finally make some of these guys do some new tricks.

yeah.  maybe you've not been watching Andreas Hatveits segments the last two years... or perhaps you didn't see any JOI footy.  Orrr, maybe you didn't see Seven Sunny days.  It's kinda scary jumping 80+ feet with a 10 pound camera, that costs $5000.

Tom followed me on COC's 80 + ft stepup with our VX. I'm not sure how much it weighs but I thought that was pretty rediculous

haha i agree with you 100%... but if you didn't notice all those shots are 1 hit shots. And your followcam camera is usually alot cheaper and less heavy than $5000, think VX2.

Follow cams are shaky and not the greatest quality. A whole video of them would be ugly and very unpleasant to watch. Zip-lines and cablecams would still allow for smooth video shots that could be integrated into a video much better.

plus the angles would be awesome the way a smooth cable line goes above the skiers head. That'd be sick.

Maybe the problem with the whole "lots of snow and cat time hours" is because we're trying to be way too extreme.

Lets build the biggest kicker we can for another double-flip combo.

The movies I like best, for the most part are snowboard movie with a certain style. Think Blank Paper Studios. A nice mix of fun, creative tricks. Lines. A smattering of big mountain stuff. Banger tricks off a one or two jump BC set up.

I honestly don't care about what happens when skiing between two jumps. Do you really just want to watch slopestyle runs? It is also way harder to edit when you can't cut out the boring skiing part.

Follow cams are really hit or miss. Either they are extravagent or they are awful.


Besides, heavier cam = smoother follows. And death lenses are bunk for follows because you have to be 2 feet away from the skier for them to look good, and that is SCERRRYY!

yeah, but nobody would make an entire movie of park lines. you still have handrail shots and throw in some stills.

if your shots are so shakey that you can't make stuff out properly or something then it really just falls on the guy taking the shots. it can be done very well though, look at skateboarding!

zip line shots seem really dumb and not at all worth the effort. the only time they seem practical is in the pipe, and pipe sucks.

you could have a really big pole cam instead of a zipline

but you could have a zipline attached to the chairlift supports, but that wouldnt be that long, but if there are any trees around attach them to those.

Charles Gagnier in Skimatic has some in his segment. Like a part where he kills four-fives rails in a row, a part where he kills several kickers in a row if I remember well and a part where he slides then does a litlle urban drop.

I agree with this thread too.

Yes its hard, thats the point. more cred to the filmer and more cred to the skier if he does multiple good tricks. The same reason follow cam lines are more cred in skate vids. its harder to do 6 good tricks clean, in a row, than 1 ultra mega trick by itself. The same reason why Tanners segment in PYB was so sick, because half his shit was stuck first try. Things like this give you something to think about with the athletes abililties.

there was a double booter line in The Front LIne.

There was a multi jump line in Focused (ithink) when Pollard joined Mack Dawg on their timberline shoot.

Zip lines are doable. Hell MSP has a heli flying 90% of the time. Why not film Brecks big line rather than building the same old at Whistler?

yes agreed. one hit shots are boring as hell.  it isnt that hard to do film lines. snowboard flicks got plenty of em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!its just lack of creativity.   i dont see what technical problems getting a line, bombing down a trail with mad rollers, throwing nasty rotations of em on film poses.
