Dope animation/re-edit of Lakai video short

that was so sick

Wow, awesome!! Please make something like this with a skier someone

please copy something from skateboarding like the everyone has been doing for decades...

^ dude that argument is soo weak. you think there'd be any newschoolers.com if skateboarders didn't start "grinding" shit like 20 years ago. it's called progression and being influenced. we all participate in action sports, so who gives a shit if you are inspired by a skate edit to do something similar with skiing.

someone should still do something like this with skiing (urban preferably)

woah bud, nollies, lipslides, frontside, etc... all taken from skateboarding, are you saying these tricks should not be done because there taken from skateboarding?

Wow that was dope, Must have taken the guy ages to make it/animate it.

i'm not talking about tricks...

^ you can't be selectively annoyed with one type on influence skateboarding has had on skiing and ignore other things like tricks dude.

 all action sports (skateboarding, bmx, surfing, etc.) have copied styles from one another to the benefit of everyone. i was watching a surf movie the other day with a friend of mine and there so many similarities (songs, camera angles, organization) to ski movies i couldn't name them all.

and it's nothing to hate on because only people who are avid skiers and skateboarders would notice it's a borrowed style of editing. not that it's an original animation style to skateboarding in the first place, i'm sure the person who made this edit was inspired by a similar style of cartoon or some shit.

basically your wrong

all im saying is that we dont need snowboarders copying skateboard tour ideas (emerica's wild ride inspired the abomination that was steezy riders...barf), we dont need skiing stealing already-thought-of editing techniques from skateboarding, we dont need blatant ripoffs of things borne in skateboarding.

trick-wise, i encourage it.  skateboarders are a hell of a lot more creative than both skiers and snowboarders, and if we can try to adapt some of that creativity to our own sports, then im all for it.  its just the superficial stuff that makes it look like we dont have minds of our own and have to look to skateboarding to determine whats "cool".

skiing has come a long way to differentiate itself from other sports.  lets not take steps backwards.

this is very very loosely related to the original video, but i figured i might as well lay it all out there and share my feelings as a whole.

i hear what you saying, but i don't think skiing is at much risk of looking unoriginal. we have so many unique contests and tours (Orage PP, salomon jib academy, JOSS, JOI, etc.) and have such a diversity of movies (from the Nimbus crew to Rage films to Meathead films) i just think that taking cues from other action sports without straight up "copying" them shouldn;t be frowned upon

copying and improving ideas is called progression.
deal with it

agreed

rotoscoping takes so long, imagine drawing every single frame individually and then adding all that color and shit..so long

so that's how he did it. sounds pretty tedious but the results are pretty amazing.
