gifugill 0 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I don't watch many of these but do videos of other countries also do the "getting there/culture" bit? Or is it just Japan because it's "so different"? Tokyo - busy! Temples - culture! Link to post Share on other sites
sand 17 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Really depends on film company, and location. Can often see some of the 'culture' of small European mountain villages in some US ski films....sometimes nothing... Link to post Share on other sites

Or is it just Japan because it's "so different"? Tokyo - busy! Temples - culture! Some of the big budget films still do it, which is more inexcusable because it's not a big deal for them to go anywhere. Shots of Shibuya Crossing, the Shinkansen, and voiceovers about "culture" are all very cliched now. Like shots of a heli to show "hey guys, we used a heli!" Art of Flight had loads of heli shots but that's because TR's heli is covered with the RedBull logo. Link to post Share on other sites
MagSeven 40 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 The Japan movie segment cliche checklist - Departures/arrivals board at an airport Dragging a ski bag through an airport Tokyo esp Shibuya crossing or fish market People in facemasks Vending machines Bowing combini attendant/police/gas station Driving through snow Roadworks/snowplow Black diamond lodge Ramen/sushi/dried squid in a supermarket Yotei One person chairlifts/Japanese ski school group/bowing lifty Ridiculous voiceover about Japanese culture and travel. Deep cold snow from Siberia. Travel broadening horizons etc etc All before any we get to see any skiing/boarding! Link to post Share on other sites
DumbStick 13 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I always think that when I see it. So cliched. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 With that Hakuba vid, it's a shame because some of the riding is really good. More basic videos of folks simply riding deep stuff in trees in Japan are also kind of passe now. Worthy of Facebook and that's about it. With MagSeven's list, I guess the Hokkaido folks don't get to film the Shinkansen, otherwise that would be Top 3! Link to post Share on other sites
gnarly-dude 1 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 But I thought the Shinkansen, Mt Fuji and Kyoto Golden Temple were all in Hokkaido?! And in Hakuba at the same time. Snow monkeys and Matsumoto Castle too! According to a few websites I have seen. It's all very confusing! Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 If anything, Mt Granview has to 'talk down' things. It's a very nice position to be in, of course. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Mt Granview doesn't need to deceive like that! is the Mt Granview version of Tsugaiki Kogen!! The clichés tie in with what was being said in the movies thread about the "mystical Japan" angle......seems western viewers like that shite whereas us that live here think it blows Link to post Share on other sites
