Anyway you look at it MSP is practicing bad business, and that’s wrong. The only reason that they have a big budget is because they got their foot in a long time ago, and that would be fine…if they kept true to the scene, but they didn’t. And because of that, their movies fucking suck. I don’t have to boycott MSP, I have no desire to watch 50 minutes of segments consisting of the same 3 shots repeated 100 times over in 40 different versions of slow mo. These guys just don’t know what’s up; they’re clueless, and that’s why their movies suck.
It would be one thing for MSP to have savvy marketing and use their big budget to make the sickest movies and therein turn a good profit, but it’s another to go out and try to take down other smaller companies. There’s so much evidence here from so many credible people that there’s no way to deny that there’s foul play here. Skiing is a
small industry with a lot of small start up companies that have been formed out of a love and interest for the sport and the scene. Because of this we really can’t afford to have crap like this going on, it’s not fair and it’s not right. It hurts the industry too much.
I mean, you can argue all the business points you want, but you really don’t need to; just look at the movies. I’ve seen every MSP movie since Ski Movie except this years, and they just flat out suck. They do not represent what’s really going on in our sport, and that just sucks. I’ve bought every single Level 1 movie from second generation to High 5. They’re just consistently sick. For one, they don’t have repeated shots over and over again. They don’t have any time wasting slow mo. They also don’t have a big budget. But somehow yeah after year Berman produces the sickest movies. It’s funny how bad the MSP movies are for the budget. They can afford heli trips and even to hire a chopper to film from, but for some reason, Level 1 whose version of a heli trip is the dirty Mt. Hood spring snow can make a movie that’s unbelievably better than any of MSP’s. Out of all the movies this year, High 5 was by far the best. But it certainly wasn’t produced on the biggest budget, and that’s pretty cool, because it’s not something you find most anywhere else.
What MSP does to these small filming companies is disgusting. It’s sad that one ski company can be so cut throat to another. It’s really a bummer and MSP should be embarrassed.
