This is not to say the films at the VIMFF were lacking, but the work Renan and Cory have done is amazing. Beautiful stuff.Timbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07660290739238504119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17198800.post-66035649391195593752010-01-27T06:14:26.185-07:002010-01-27T06:14:26.185-07:00Excellent point, Kim.

You can find them all at Vertical Carnival blog, along with some great video clips from other trips by Renan Ozturk and Cedar Wright.Dougald MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12084708125730430530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17198800.post-50120259800548400702010-01-27T06:07:35.979-07:002010-01-27T06:07:35.979-07:00The first three dispatches are just as beautiful. ...The first three dispatches are just as beautiful.

For my Climbing.com story, I was able to get through to Cory and Renan and received one sat-email with some additional info about the climb and their films. I would have liked to ask them more, but they're a bit hard to reach right now...Dougald MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12084708125730430530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17198800.post-68503550323312157482010-01-26T13:27:25.123-07:002010-01-26T13:27:25.123-07:00Interesting article, Dougald.

On that note, though "they didn't record all that much stuff", I think about how much unique climbing footage there is on, say, Discovery's Everest shows. They tend to show the same footage repeatedly, while beginning each segment after the break with a rehash of what happened before the break. The rest of the space is then filled with interviews. <br /><br />Incidentally, Dougald, did you interview the climbers for your nice piece in Climbing? I noticed that some of your info was not available on the climber's websites.Sam Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01004221769641465465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17198800.post-41015432365493331882010-01-26T12:02:35.682-07:002010-01-26T12:02:35.682-07:00I found myself thinking: Yeah, but, they didn'...I found myself thinking: Yeah, but, they didn't record all that much stuff, so this would never work for a longer film or a TV segment or whatever. Isn't that limiting? And then I thought: Who cares? Didn't we get just what we wanted and needed from these short clips?Dougald MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12084708125730430530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17198800.post-84546025688572957702010-01-26T11:48:32.309-07:002010-01-26T11:48:32.309-07:00Here, here.

It's also a statement to the technology -- the new slr video camera's are incredible for weight and size...still Renan and Cory deserve a lot of respect for even being able to worry about creative aspects at elevation. Super impressive. This is one of the coolest bar raising bits of media I've seen. I wish it had been my project. <br /><br />Fitzfchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02602090714434986605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17198800.post-52998662592211193362010-01-26T05:33:46.194-07:002010-01-26T05:33:46.194-07:00I would have to agree.
