NSMB Movie Shot

[Geologyboy]

Would anyone else be inetrested if NSMB ran the Money Shot style contest for video? Something where the quality of the editing and such could be reviewed and not just the riders?

I know I would enter, but I don't know if there are as many videographers here as there are photographers. If the videos were short and pre selected the bandwidth might not be that big of an issue.

Thoughts?

[B RAD]

id definetly be in, im more of a vid editor and not much of a photographer and im sure lots of other people feel this way too. so a movie shot would be perfect

[Death Lens]

yeah that would be awesome. and at least with NSMB we know that the contest will actually happen**cough** pinkbike **cough**

[SteveV]

thats such a great idea. me and my buddies were planning on doing a lot of filming this summer......be more of a motivation to get better shots and put more effort if ur competing for something.

[Geologyboy]

I would dig it, as long as teh focus is on editing and quality. I just can't compete with some of these photos. The skills on these riders is awesome. The thing I liked about Money Shot was all biking photos had a great chance. Up until the finals there were a lot of shot that could have featured avergae riders with very good phtographers.

Of course, in the finals everyone is going huge.

[mattj]

Death Lens you're pre-disqualified from the Money Shot Movie Edition because you're already an established movie maker... Oh snap!

We'll keep you posted.

[SEKTER13]

That would be awesome.

[mattj]

the UFC is for riders whereas this would be for video makers...

[SEKTER13]

Not really like the UFC though, thats for riders. This would be for those of us out filming and editing videos. Winner would be best made video, not the most gnar riding.

EDIT: mattj beat me to it.

[[S]hore]

Im so down, this is a sick idea.
Keep us posted.

YESH!

yeah never thought about that.

[erebody]

id love to participate in that

[menehune]

you'd clean house peter.

[Fast&Smooth]

heck yes. and yeah no pros? muaha

[Luke]

i thinits a great idea !

[H.T.P.]

YESSSSS!!!!! i would love nsmb for ever

[.243racer]

sweet, finaly i can put the 16mm to use.

[Death Lens]

heck yes. and yeah no pros? muaha

the real question would be defining what a "pro" is. I mean really....in video its even more of a grey area.

hahaha sorry bro, you're pro.

[frmstreetrider]

that a great idea! i would enter for sure

[NeRo]

i would enter

[SIDESHOW]

Can I enter if I shoot and edit myself....?? Thats ambroses job around here, and I am no filmer thats for sure....

otherwise I would make a fine judge.

[frmstreetrider]

i think this is a really good idea. photo one is cool but lets switch it up a bit! see some new style, see how other places portray the sport
all that jazz
and its a cool creative outlet!

[drummer_dil]

that would be sweet, i guess that the vids would have to have a predetermind time, like maybe 20-30 seconds? then have like the top 5 editers have to make a short 3-5 min video for the finals

[erebody]

make it a minute or 2
20 30 seconds isnt enough
i dont think rider skill should be entirely discounted from the judging criteria, creativity in riding should be there aswell

[drummer_dil]

that is true too, but not everyone on here would get a fair chance

[Death Lens]

hahaha sorry bro, you're pro.

i still have a tough time considering myself "pro" when i'm taking beginner film classes in my first year of college and i live with my parents. oh well...maybe i could judge? either way it'd be cool to see this contest happen!

[_kyle_]

i'd definitly be in, sounds great

[H.T.P.]

that is true too, but not everyone on here would get a fair chance


it wasnt fair with money shot either.

[Stokes]

Id be stoked about this event. Video really gives a whole new level of complexity to the art of riding. Bike riding is about art. How creatively you can put a line together, how you express yourself. I think video captures this feeling better.

anything I can do to make this happen, id be down.

[FIDUN]

I'd enter, but I'd loose, Reid productions isnt to good at making films. I just poatch music, and way over edit stuff...

but you'd have the most epic angles!
plus your better at lighting then jesse roberts!:rocker:

so true. no one really makes any money. needless to say i'm pretty sure you'd be much more excluded than I:P

[Bridges!!!]

If you have filmed/edited a movie that people have paid for, you should be considered a pro. At least for the purpose of this contest.

[menehune]

why is everyone in their mothers STILL making bike videos?

[Fast&Smooth]

why is everyone in their mothers STILL making bike videos?

yeah! F their couches!

That would be a good idea, except that its called the Extreme Freeride Challenge.

[Dan0]

Whats the extreme freeride challenge?

[Death Lens]

That would be a good idea, except that its called the Extreme Freeride Challenge.

yeah i never heard a that before.

[drummer_dil]

?

[smccooey]

DOOOPE Idea!

[Geologyboy]

That would be a good idea, except that its called the Extreme Freeride Challenge.

Obviously this needs some clarification.

[D1r7 R0(k]

I agree...

[menehune]

would movie shot competitors need to secure rights for the music in their entries?

i understand that obtaining rights to music is a large part of becoming a serious editor/producer, but personally would love to have the option of using any song for this potential competition.

[DmR-DiRt]

Sweet idea.

Only problem is there might be a lot of driveway submissions...mainly from me.

[Fast&Smooth]

i would indeed hope that permission not be needed for songs. i don't think it would be legally important for a little internet comp.

[Geologyboy]

If you don't plan to turn any profit from your movie, registering the songs isn't usually necessary. That is to say, they usually won't hunt you down.

[Death Lens]

i license all the music for my dvd's (unlike some people *cough* hypnosis *cough*) but for web stuff its not really a huge issue. after 15 edits being posted that have been downloaded a combined total of 260,000 times i'm not at all worried about it.

[Fast&Smooth]

I don't like movie shot. We don't really make movies. And hopefully some money would be involved too. so howbout Money Clip?

Very clever.
