rach 1 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 It's always fun to see these clips. I'm not sure I'm interested in long full length versions though. How long do they last? Link to post Share on other sites

dizzy 0 Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 randomly came across this j-video over at a video website went to check it out on Friday nite: it was a video by neoimpress, tho i can't say i was very impressed. 80% rails, 10% bc, 10% shots of tree leaves and the nature. still, good 2 C people making video doing what they luv 2 do. AK, i think you woulda liked it Link to post Share on other sites
dizzy 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 last saturday, Volcom had an premerie of "ESCRAMBLE" but i was at the beach. for peeps in tokyo, whiteout film fest dates are out. Thurs 9.28 "MORE" Absinthe and "DRAW THE LINE" Standard Films Fri 9.29 2 J videos rach, videos vary, but most are between 30-45 minutes long. it was an annual ritual in my family 2 5 watch Warren Miller films, considered the father of ski movies. TGR spoofs his narration in one of their teasers on their site. last year at whiteout in tokyo, i got a bunch of freebies. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 After last years nasty mistake I will stay away from Standard Films. The directors of Paradox singularly failed to bring out the better personalities of most riders. One or two good guys in 91 Words For Snow were made to look like just another collection of dicky pro snowboarders in Paradox. The entire movie seemed totally pointless, just a snowboard movie of good snowboarders for the sake of it. Almost anyone could have made it. Looking for this years movies, what is the snowboard equivalent of Warren Millers stuff? Link to post Share on other sites

eskimobasecamp 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Lookin forward to TGR's Anomaly the teaser of the teaser thing was a bit annoying for a while there, but kinda funny Link to post Share on other sites
dizzy 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 Warren Miller was the first 2 make ski movies (and then gradually snowboarders in his movies) popular. then peeps started making their own videos and replaced the sometimes overly sentimental narrations with tunes and then Shawn Farmer dabauchery a WM flick wouldn't be complete without a fast-forwarding section of peeps falling trying to get off the chairlift. the end of WM flicks are often like: "So take a chance one year and move to a ski town." WM flicks were marketed towards the one-week-per-year ski-vacation demographic and he's done so much for the industry. now WM is like 82 and still making films. But, i'd just rather watch something else. i've never seen an equivalent to a WM flick in any snowboard flick, so i can't say spud. i just know that when i was 8 years old, i wanted 2B Scott Schmidt jumping off cliffs and skiing down killer narrow chutes. i'm not expecting much from standard films, haven't seen pre- TB8 Infinity. and that was, what, like seven years ago? nevertheless, i'm looking 4ward to jeremy jones section in "Draw the Line" also wanna C Absinthe's flick!!!! geez, my posts R becoming mini-essays like Urs Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 yeah, not a bad mini essay effort there. Keep it up. My mistake, I thought (incorrectly) WM was the guy that made beautiful free ride movies without any hype or resorts: just mountains and riding. Since it isn't WM who makes those types of movies, who does? Link to post Share on other sites
dizzy 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 no worries. this is a decent article on Warren Miller and this is the kinda stuff he still films: Link to post Share on other sites
Oyuki kigan 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Absinthe always makes quality stff, two of my favorite films ever are `Trancendence` and `Pop`. But this year, i`m looking forward to a road trip documentary. Travis Parker, Louie Fountain, a filmer, and the unimitatable Scotty Whittlelake build a pedal-powered car, and take a road-trip around the NW states. Its called `Bike Car`.

Kumapix 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 sounds like that one travis parker was in last year 'december'. that was interesting the first time but after that boring Link to post Share on other sites
Oyuki kigan 0 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Yeah, but they are riding real resorts this year. Plus its got a bit of an environmental message, something this sport desperately lacks. And for the sake of lil` baby Jesus, Its got SCOTTY WHITTELAKE!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 >BANFF Film Festival, November Hey Dizzy, mate, they still doing that again this year? Patagonia sponsored it yeah? Bought tixs for it last year in Osaka but got cought up at work Hopefully this year. Link to post Share on other sites
dizzy 0 Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 Hey CB, welcome back!! hope the pinkeyes are better sucks you missed last year's Banff. it was really interesting. most super short films (4mins.). the feature film was over an hour about this guy who traversed Australia south to north with only his dog and a cart of supplies. another highlight was about sherpa women who scaled everest, the first group of women to ever do so. the dates for japan weren't the last time i checked, but they're here here and when they go on sale, people get 'em quick they sell out fast every year. just go to a local patagonia shop and buy your tickets there. as far as i know, that's the only way you can get them.

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Cheers dizzy - my right eye is still half red but my left one is about 90%. Just takes time.

dizzy 0 Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 Quote: Originally posted by rach: bit late but, thanks dizzy late for what? danchi: real estate, estate, or complex. but in the context of the video, it's kind of like home. the guys spend the winter living in their cars/vans and riding hokkaido powder, so their crew is called car danchi. yeah, check the link cb put up. that's where i look Link to post Share on other sites
66jzmstr 0 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I got to see Escramble a few weekends back. Not a bad flick, but I expected more since Volcom usually puts out good flicks. Escramble Pro's * Landvik's bottomless pow runs intro * Terje, Guch & Jamie top-to-bottom freeriding in Jackson Hole * silly claymation Escramble Con's * too long booter sessions * anti-climactic finish We just placed an order at a snowboard shop in Sapporo and put Car Danchi 2 with the rest of the goods. I really liked the first one, so I'm excited to see this next effor by Neil. I'm also looking forward to More and Bikecar. Link to post Share on other sites
