Assuming that the production of climbing films is at least somewhat market driven, I think that the general trend away from closeup crimp porn and toward single camera angles capturing the entire environment shows that climbers are interested in "artsy" stuff.<br /><br />Admittedly, this video goes far beyond even the "artsiest" of climbing videos ("A Fine Line," "Between the Trees," etcetera) in that the clip is no longer about the skier, or even the skier in the environment; instead, it is about the way the videographer sees the skier. It is less about skiing and more about artistic vision. Whether or not a video like this one but featuring climbing could be produced is to be determined - as an activity, climbing (and climbers) may be too focused on getting from point a to point b to appreciate such a montage of movements taken out of the context provided by the rest of a boulder problem or route.<br />My 2c.<br />-PBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465688298202864084.post-72086055440036679032011-12-05T21:19:41.012-06:002011-12-05T21:19:41.012-06:00i would like to state for the record i tihnk most ...i would like to state for the record i tihnk most climbers arent into artsy stuff..i thought that ski video was boring as all hell..if i wanna watch climbing i just want to see climbing.. a fine line was a prime example of something that would put me to sleep but to each their own..the talent and dedication to such an artsy clip like that is def all there and props are to be given but idk not my thingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465688298202864084.post-37713890639491853702011-12-04T09:55:14.967-06:002011-12-04T09:55:14.967-06:00Thanks, Steve!
