MGMILI15Sig's section was fucking dope...I just had to turn that music off. Fucking Russia
JD.Seriously this. What the fuck were they thinking when they put that song in there? I mean I guess maybe they did it to be funny but it was just so shitty. Easily the worst song choice hahaha.[/QUOTE
opinions man. sigs song and his part are probably my favorite in the movie.
gimmiedatpowmovie was meh, skiing was sick. Expected way more backcountry, delormes part sucked(the editing, song, the skiing was sick AF).
unknowndeaththere's so much good skiing (big ups to all of the skiers, you guys fucking KILLED it), and it's all ruined by being in a Level 1 movie.
there are so many fucking parts. I guess nobody over there has ever heard of guest shots before, or the sponsors are paying big bucks for their riders to have their own parts. Banks and Logan (just to pick on two) did not deserve their own intros and songs. Their shots could have easily been worked into someone else's part, or thrown in some "friends" section, significantly improving the flow of the movie.
None of the parts have any progression either. None of the songs have any buildup or finale to highlight any crazy tricks, and so most of the parts just seem like sort of a flat constant "this is kind of impressive." instead of starting with a banger, sprinkled with really great stuff throughout, and then with some sort of coda at the end that blows you away.
The music supervision is awful. As I said, none of the songs have any buildup or progression, creating a real lack of excitement in the parts as they go along. Also, they just suck. The song from Magnus' part might be the only song worth listening to or downloading in the whole movie (or any level 1 production for the last 4 years)
After 15 years, nobody at level 1 can use a fisheye yet. The stuff that I assume Shane McFalls filmed of Will Wesson in Japan is the only proper fisheye footage in the movie. Everything else either has some weird pan at the end or is just wrong. (Sig's shot on the blue ball??? So damn close. That pan to the snow at the end ruined it. LSM's nollie 360 over the bench? You can't even see the bench by the end of the shot, which is the whole reason people film fisheye.) I mean for god's sake, "fisheye" is one of the words in the collage at the beginning. (Which also includes "derp," "shiba inu," and "ermagherd." Seriously?)
Once again, I want to reiterate that the skiing was AMAZING. Some of the stuff really blew me away and was stuff I have wanted to see in skiing for a long time. The filming was mediocre at best, though, and the editing and included processes were bad.
