Here is my response to an email I recieved at work about the teaser and also the TBC alleged situation...
Chase-
Thank you for writing directly to the source so we can respond to you and the truth doesn't get distorted by an internet chat community. Our graphics to the teaser intro were outsourced to a friend in Canada. If this person went to this tutorial or happens to be the guy who created the tutorial we are not sure, it is the graphics to a teaser we threw together in a day. We like the way the graphics looked so we used them. The real issue here is the flat out lies and rumors started on newschoolers. We would like to be involved with the newschool community because we respect the kids and the community that is there, however we cant visit this site and respond to every question or comment posted by a user because when we do it will either be deleted or we don't have the time to respond to continous lies on this site. We are in this industry because we love the sport and the people within. If you look at the original thread it was stated that the ski industry is full of rumors and this very well could be one of them. Its obviosly a complete rumor and it will be cleared up now. There was never such a meeting, as far as we now Gary at HH was planning to sponsor the new TBC movie and Henrik and Kris decided to do a Jon Olson movie instead. The only comments we have had on TBC was that everyone in this office loved the film and thought it was the most creative ski film out last year. And to clarify other said rumors Kris Ostness did not work for MSP this year, although we respect his work and feel he is one of the best ski cinematograhers in the business. Scott Gaffney posted a response on newschoolers and it was immediatley deleted by someone at newschoolers. We have had lots of positive emails and support from the industry about these threads that keep getting deleted by Newschoolers. I wish you post this on newschoolers.com as will I, but I can guarentee you these will be deleted as were all previous MSP responses. Again we respect you for coming directly to us with your questions, we would rather spend our time skiing and filming than responding to all the lies on NS. Skiing is all about fun, lets keep it that way.
Cheers
Kevin

This is getting ridiculously out of hand. What the hell do any of you kids know about MSP, nothing, you sit there and think you know what your talking about but in reality you dont. I dont claim to know anything about the TBC situation, or a message on josh bermans answering machine, etc, etc......and neither do 99 percent of you kids who are responding on this stuff.

I do know that Scott Gaffney has been in this business before pretty much any of us even skied......he is respected, for a reason. I bought every msp vid from pura vida to ski movie 3. Thats pura vida, sick sense, global storming, ski movie 1, 2 and 3......then i stopped buying their vids cause i was tired of the formula......like has been said it just started to seem like the same movie every year. I have not bought focused, yearbook or hitlist. I dont really plan on buying push because i just dont see the creativeness, yes they are shot extremely well and have extremely high quality footage, but i just dont see the creativeness, i think if they hired someone super unique to edit and put their vid together they could have the best vid in skiing forsure.

But seriously all this hating is ridiculous and is just getting out of hand, so they took some titles from a tutorial, who the fuck cares, they can do whatever the fuck they want, i dont give a shit if they did, i dont buy vids to see dope ass fonts and titles, like give them a fucking break. Seriously if you dont like there videos, then dont buy them, dont associate yourselves with them, but stop hating on stuff you really dont know anything about, im not claiming to know anything about it either.......but im not gonna go all fucking bash crazy over some unreliable internet rumors that no one has really any clue where they came from.....this is all just suck bullshit, you guys should get fucking hobbies or girlfriends or something, jesus fuck

And who are you?

Thank you to Scott Gaffney for finally having the balls to actually sign your NAME to a post on NS.com from the MSP perspective... This is a startling departure from the trends of previous years. Kudos!

also, i would really like to have read the post Scott Gaffney made originally trying to clear this stuff up, and about MSP's business practices and creativeness, etc. They def would have been super interesting read coming from a guy who works for the freaking company, someone who actually does know what their talking about........i cant see any logical reason as to why they were deleted......thats just absolutely ridiculous on the part of the mods...

First off let me say I am not a fan of the MSP films since The Front Line.

I don't think it has to do w/ bad for you, maybe about a company a mod does/doesn't like. That IS censoring however, a practice that generally sucks.

I also think its funny how everyone would flip shit if MSP got sponsored by Wal-Mart but its totally ok if an athlete did (i.e. "You would too if wal-mart paid you to ski.")

Also, other kid promote their movies in the forums, why can't MSP?

Anyone remember the 1640 at Loon or the h30 SNIPED thread?


One of these things is not like the other (sung to the tune of the same song)

Ostness was working on a Helly Hansen modeling event in Spain. No ski movie this year because of athlete sponsorship changes. I heard this from my friend who does odd graphic design jobs for Ostness--he heard it from Ostness.

Scott Gaffney, thanks for coming on here yourself to clear stuff up. You have made my outlook on MSP a lot more positive than it previously was. Before in the other thread that you posted in where it got deleted, I, and Im sure most other people, didn't know you were Scott Gaffney. I thought you were an alias. Thanks for coming on again, and I hope you stick around to fight rumors and lies. I will give Push a try, my friend will prob buy it.
