Teaser 2
This week’s teaser is altogether lighter. In fact, it’s like an angel delight crossed with a balloon filled with helium. Keep your eyes unlike your potatoes.
Back in the day when the internet was basically useless and it took 3 days to download an mp3, I used to buy music from record labels directly via mail order. The quality was somewhat sinusoidal, but the joy of receiving a new record was always the same. The anticipation, the tactility, and sometimes the surprises. Back in those days of mail order it was entirely possible to slip in a little something extra, something which was expected but hugely appreciated. I remember receiving a CD which came with a recipe for a vegetarian lasagne bake and it struck me at the time as a great thing to do. In the digital era it’s much harder for the layman such as myself to surprise anyone, so back in the real world I’m hoping to provide a little zing in one way or another.
Enjoy the second teaser, and I’ll go back to editing. It’s so much fun sitting here for 14 hours a day, forgetting to eat, and getting so engrossed in the most ridiculous choices.

Woah. On the last teaser, my comment was a BIT fanboyish, as I was just hyping it, and couldn’t believe how good it is. Later on, I went back to watch it again, and again, and again (and again, yes), and tried to grasp why I was so awed by it.
The things that freak me out, are that you match the really good parts about “L’Étranger” with new, great stuff, which was not so good there. You kept the fantastic soundtrack (really, sometimes in the mornings I just hit play on the outsider because there’s no good tune on the broadcast), kept the really COOL boulderproblems (ever seen “pure-a bouldering flick”? I mean, the rocklands are pretty, posh, but they are NOTHING compared to font). And you kept the general feeling that you can really see what the problem is about- as good as you can on video.
On the other hand, you pretty much improved the timing of WHEN to film and HOW to film it by 100%. From the teasers it looks like you waited more for the special time of the day when the light is just perfect, the camera is not static any more, I really like it. Can’t wait to get my fingers on it.
Back to being fanboyish, great work man, really. It’s fantastic, and I’ve watched the trailer at LEAST 20 times in the last 2 hours.
Cheers,
Marv
