Because every award that level 1 won should have gone to a more deserving crowd. I seriously hope the judges are joking. Let me go through this and state MY OPINION*

Best Jib Flick- NO! Stadaconé was amazing and based solely on the urban scene in Québec! WTF

Best Teaser- Wow, really. Just watch the What's in the fridge?, Come Find Us, Gunnie Season, or the other trailers. Mucho better

Best Cinematography- Yikes, a typical level one "all really plain shots of good skiers throwing down on good features because level 1 has the connections to get them." wins? Cinematography ≠ what the shots are of, thats best flick. Cinematography is about the composure of the shots, variety, editing, and other things. Level 1 has never excelled in this, their shots are very plain compared to others. Gunnie season, ALL IN, Out of the Shadows, and Punch Line all had better cinematography. I mad.

Best Male Skier- JF Houle or Logan I. Enough said.

Best rookie- https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/forums/readthread/thread_id/557430/

refer to OP. They had no lifestyle shots, filler shots, and just stuff that made it more interesting to watch. I just like seeing that stuff in films, but the judges must have been looking for something different.

Example would be 4bi9's Gunnie Season trailer: drop in shots, hiking shots, fast paced editing, stuff like that.

don't be so modest man, just wait to see your own seggie. I loved it and was screaming no way during parts. Probably awkward to watch yourself but seriously, it was good.

I'd guess because Zapiks has a huge French-speaking ski community and IF3 was in Montreal. Just a guess.

Guillame, long-time judge and founder of Ski Pass/Zapiks came up with the idea for the award, hence voting on Zapiks.

Was the whats in the fridge teaser even nominated cos i don't think i've ever seen editing and cinematography so good good combined so well with such a banger song and sick riding, it was by far my favourite trailer this year.
I can't have an opinion on the other points cos i haven't seen the films.

WIN.

End thread. Your points about the cinematography are soo stupid. "It's not what the shots are??" Uhm then what is cinematography? The movie was called "Eye Trip" for a reason, and I think they had the most aesthetically pleasing trailer out of anyone. By far.

Even though you made a disclaimer saying no butthurtness allowed, you broke your rule with the very first sentence. You are TERRIBLY butthurt over this.

...that you created.

And because I didn't sit down and think out a 10 page response after reading all 100 posts, and rather just posted my thoughts as you randomly spilled non sense, does not imply I am "butthurt". It means you said a lot of dumb shit and others said things that actually hold water.

funny choice of words, considering not one of his movies has been shot on film. he used shitty digital prosumer cameras forever then used "hd" shit and now im sure he uses something better but give me a break. cinematography has NEVER been what makes l1p movies good, it's always just barely good enough

unfortunately, i have to interject, much to all of your disliking, but you actually just said gunnie season had better cinematography. unfortunately, half of us couldn't handle the "fast paced editing", which was all too fast, and frankly, ended up breaking a lot of the don't rules in editing, shots should transition, not hit way too many different angles the way they did for one single segment. the music on top of it did not go at all with the actions, and was just over all terrible. i'm not dissing it because it was hiphop or rap, because i actually listen to it, there was just no flow, and it was a redundant overdone, been there, seen it, you're not a gangster, movie. i was disappointed.

what was great about the level1 movie was how many different shots there were. ski (and other)movies tend to get repetitive and have way too many similar shots in the same spot. they actually switched it up a lot, and they quality of the image was amazing. it was one of the movies i did enjoy, although, obviously not saying it was the best, but it wasn't as horrible as your playing it out to be. also, imo, you should be able to see what the person is hitting, not just a close up of the person riding. that has really no value to me.

movies don't have to be fast paced either way. i don't know what you're getting at? in general cinema, people like jim jarmusch are fucking masters.

also your opinion went out the window when you compared some quebexican with slow mo shots of 450 outs to parker whites skiing.

No one uses film anymore; it's like Latin, a dead language that a handful of people know.  Also, professional grade photography and cinematography equipment is more expensive that skiing itself, why does that matter that he would shoot with that over something that costs 15,000 dollars more?

I do wish that ski movies had more themes to them though.  I'm almost tired of seeing 40 minute edits called movies (keep in mind I said "almost tired").  Invincibles was a good example of giving a ski movie a story, but that already has its own thread.

no one uses film anymore?? youve gotta be kidding me. digital video cameras are amazing and are getting better but still VERY few (ridiculously expensive) cameras can replicate film's look and even then it's not quite there yet

there's no reason he should have been shooting movies with consumer level digital cameras and charging the same price when other companies were shooting 16mm for so long

from my post "WERE shooting 16mm." until recently the big companies shot almost all 16mm, and for a reason, because it looked (still does, usually) way better

you sure have a lot of posts in this thread for being soo fucking above it. and since when is it so bad that people give their opinion on movies they have paid for for years? don't take it so personal jeez

A pretty decent portion of TGR Re:Session is shot in film and you can really tell the difference between it and non-film.

but it's true now that RED is pretty close up there with the film.

how the fuck did this turn into a 4bi9 vs L1 thread?

They are practically family with a handful of the same riders, with one being clearly more established(paid) than the other.

Sort of apples and oranges from the same farm so why hate? Some day, maybe 4bi9 will be as big as Level1. 2 completely different expectations/qualities/compensations etc.

What a stupid thread. The entire thing.

Now this I agree with.  If the movie is low cost than you should charge low cost prices for it. 

A movie made with prosumer Video Cameras and edited using Final Cut should be pretty cheap to buy.  I hate paying 30 dollars for a 40 minute DVD that only comes with two stickers.

Cot so. Cinematography is not limited to filming. its filming, and putting the footage together in a way that is enjoyable to watch.

Thank you for your attempt, and may thinking go better for you later in life.
