why haven't you liked the level 1 movies? do you not like park, the style of filming, editting, style of the riders?
Personally, I think Turbo is sick.
Hit the nail on the head for me as well. I would come on here and hear about how unbelievable some level 1 movie was, buy it, and be completely disappointed. I think the editting is really weak and it looks like it was shot by ams. Consistantly just a tripod set in one spot with the same session over and over. At least break it up or change the angles.
Usually there is only one segment that blows me away, and i dont think that i should be paying $30 for one segment (it will be on youtube eventually). Word of mouth made S6 sound like this groundbreaking film that was straight from the hands of god, except it wasnt at all. LSS built me up huge with it's trailer and dropped me flat on my face. I fell asleep first time watching it as well. Turbo might be different, but as he said, there's no way Im paying for a level 1 movie until they prove me wrong.
That being said, IMO Nimbus knows whats up. They are taking things in a direction that I can totally respect. Without even trying, they have innovated the way everyone else is shooting (everyone is going for Idea-esque shots and tricks now). But this is all subjective and while Im not saying people are necessarily wrong in what they like, I just personally feel like Level 1 has some sick skiing, but the filmmaking feel am to me.
My reasons are
Turbo has park skiers trying to ski back country. Level one needs to stick to what they know and thats park. Let the other companys do the back country deal cause they have real riders who know how to ski not just jump on a rail and do way to many switch ups. Im just fucking sick of seeing pretzle after pretzle. The under grind was fucking sick as hell though i will give turbo that. As was the 360 switch up on the handrail done by ahdmat. But Journal had some real skiers who could shred. Skiers who grew up skiing pow and its very apperient
That is all
haha agreed
So is Journal a lot of cliff and tree skiing (ie ratalack style)or are there a lot of the big mountain shots from a far camera distance?
As much as I love the AK lines and all it kind of bores me when you have the camera soooo far away and all you see going down the mountain is a little pin drop. Example: tanner busting that HUGE 3 off of the AK line and the only camera angle covering it is a mile away. (side note: i loved Massive/ Tanner really mixed it up good throwing the urban in there too, and ratalack and pemberton were sick) Maybe logisticaly speaking it's just too hard to get the close camera shot/
It's the reason I dont buy the TGR most years, too many long range camera shots of gys ripping a big mountain line over and over (maybe if they mixed it with a helemt cam or something.)
I thought turbo kicked ass.
Especially tom wallisch
