DevNah I don't think so. There's something about a full-length professionally filmed/edited video filled with all of my favorite skiers that beats the hell out of any 1-2 minute thrown-together edit. I know I'll be buying Stept/Level 1/Inspired videos as long as they keep coming out
OHIOSo how did you break your shoulder?

- People are generally reluctant to buy online because of the hassle (and to some extent danger) of putting credit card information online. In the future, payment methods will become quicker and more secure.
.tomskisI think its getting harder and harder to put out mindblowing content in movies, because a) we're somewhat desensitised to it with some many people throwing so much crazy stuff for the interwebs all the time, and b) if someone actually does do something mindblowingly good, there is more value to the person/company/brand to put it out on the web to go viral than to have it in hidden away in a movie where it gets way less exposure or someone else puts it online anyway.
A classic example would be Cody Townsends line from MSP. No one talked about that much until MSP put it on the web and it went absolutely nuts. The exposure they got from that is way more beneficial than leaving it as a clip in the film.
dan1080https://www.newschoolers.com/forum/thread/329952/FOR-SALE--HEAD-MOJO-90-w-bindings-LIMITED-EDITION-GRAPHICS--SIZE-165-AND-173 Nick, did you ever sell your head mojos? Also, is this your updated phone number so people can constantly call you with ridiculous questions?
Mr.BishopI think the biggest factor that will affect it is not that people won't want to watch them - but that it will be progressively harder to raise the kind of budget necessary to actually make a quality project happen.
Sponsors are dividing their money between edits blasting out and movies, athletes are dividing their time/travel budgets, people are used to getting content for free and are less inclined to spend as much on movies as they used to....
So though I don't think the demand for movies will ever go away, the money will greatly reduce. This will definitely have an affect on the ubiquity of movies as a genre.
I think you could draw a very real line to the music industry. The prevalence of snackable easy-to-get free music has really destroyed the business model behind the album.
Although on the flipside, the rise of Vinyl and some of the incentives going away for shitty music has left some really cool and crafty projects that people actually pay real money for.
