I hope this isn't a repost, but lets hear it.

I really like Level 1 and Toy Soldier Productions cinematography, not saying other companies aren't impressive either.

Olofsson is the best thing to happen to skiing since Ostness.

Field Productions! they are very creative in the way they are shooting everything. Theirs heli-filming is easily topping everyone else. But what I love most about the cinematography is the lights and colors!

I would have to go with field prod all day long. maybe its the fact that they have the best soundtracks, best settings, and oh yea, they use REDs.

Sherpas was pretty far ahead in this category this year. Field and Stept do great stuff as well.

I'm gonna have to go with Poor Boyz Productions cause they make the sickest movie every year with the most banger soundtrack! NOT! haha
I'd have to go with Sherpas and Level 1.
That is until Candide's movie drops!
Can't wait!

Stept, although i'm not a huge fan of how they shoot their jump segments, For jumps, i'd have to say L1. The sun valley seg from After Dark was mindblowing. But for urban and regular park shoots, definitely stept. I think it may have to do with their sound quality also.

It's called Being There, it's really really sick, and it's on Itunes.

Being There by Field Production was by far the best ski film I saw. I saw it at IF3 in France and every shot is picture perfect and I felt like it was more lively than some other films, there was like a story the whole time. There are maybe less banger than most other movies but the quality of the shots and the ambiance of it makes it up.
It seems like the film from Ante Olofsson is really good but I didn't yet have time to watch it.

How has no one said Traveling Circus yet? All the rest are just ski porn filmers. Shane does some different stuff and makes the edits interesting to look at. Not just some steady cam ride along or dollyed sunset jump.

That's kind of like saying which porn director do you think uses the best scene transitions. No one cares unless it's exceptionally awkward.

Most companies that make full length movies tend to have exceptional cinematography. As stated before though, Olofsson is the illest at the moment.

I wouldn't say this a bad movie for FREE either... Andre Nutini who filmed the whole project is very talented, great pull focus in the second section, he also worked on a MTB movie called "Life Cycles" which everyone should checkout as it's probably the best action sports cinematography ever captured.
