In reply to RupertD:
I don't agree at all Ru, I think it's OK to offer criticism of films like this, even if they're free and even if they are great.
This is one of the best looking bouldering films I've ever seen. I like the way they break up the action with gorgeous scenery and time-lapses. The problems are fantastic and filmed very well. Overall I thought it was really great.
But I know that Nick and Rich are really passionate about their film-making and I think they'll appreciate feedback on how they can get even better. For me the high-water mark of bouldering films was Stonelove. I didn't appreciate it when it came out but I've gone back to that film again and again. It still bears repeated viewing, and the reason is there are so many layered human stories hidden within the bouldering.
"Storytelling" doesn't mean a few off-the-cuff interviews with reluctant climbers. It means watching the people you're filming and teasing out the narrative, like in Stonelove where the camera follows Jerry coming to terms with the realisation that his days at the top of the sport are over. It's not easy, and is a lot to ask from a free film, but these guys have totally nailed the technical side, and have the potential to produce a classic for this generation along the lines of Stonelove and the Real Thing, which have probably not been bettered. If all the feedback they get is "great film, loved it", where will the impetus come from for them to do that?
On the other hands, comments along the lines of "dull. turned it off" are just plain unhelpful and probably come from someone who shouldn't have downloaded a bouldering film in the first place...
