[@paulstolberg4715]

nice vid. HAVE to go to fb asap, i just hope to get a 6c done, maybe even 7a but i'll better curb my expectations... and as they said, don't mind the grades too much, it's all about the fun. and it looks like fun!!

[@Kletterszenecom]

night session are not forbidden. As a magazine you can also take on responsibility and teach the scene respectful handling of nature. by the way, the forest is a nature conservation area

[@dannydan3451]

Can we get some longer videos, very nice

[@BlocBusters]

very nice one!

[@wheelbegood]

[@artfulchili]

Any chance of a re-edit with the names of the areas, boulders, problems and grades?

[@bedewest]

[@BoyFromTheOtherSide]

[@lithiumfire9693]

more like wild bromance in font

[@MightyMushroo0m]

So many slopers

[@bedewest]

Liked the vid but if it's going to be called "Wild Lines" can it be about climbing lines (ideally name dropped) rather than people, please.

[@johntuttle9544]

How come we didn't get introduced to the cute doggo? :)

[@kanepowell6521]

Lol why is there a pineapple sticking out of Matt’s crashpad

[@volodigital8875]

Kane Powell if you look closely enough you’ll see a little bit more of that pineapple...I think I’m going to get epic to give you a prize.

[@ColivaX]

14:26!

[@volodigital8875]

There are a lot more appearances than that!! good start. See if you can list them :)

[@kir4OthAclowN]

I sleep with the guy who made it 🤩

[@paulstolberg4715]

aaand here's your extra comment of fame for that. maybe you're his muse, who knows.

[@volodigital8875]

Maybe she is...

[@paulstolberg4715]

i you say so, she did a fine job in inspiring you!

[@everythingviral972]

I feel sorry for you

[@illduitmyself]

great video content in all these videos...but all the "it's like cool n like yea it's good like uh.." is rather a downgrade to the films. I'm aware that's the culture though

[@94franz]

AFAIK Chalk is forbidden in Bleau, or let's say strongly unadvised. So unless you clean it up very thoroughly you should switch to POF! (a.k.a. colophane/rosin) :)

[@ML-mm4ii]

Nah. Last time I was there I hardly saw any pof users. Times are changing, I guess.

[@94franz]

Haha i know. i dos not mean it is not forbidden. it means that the message is not passed correctly and that people in general don;t give a sh.t. the fact is that using chalk makes the rock very slippery on the long term. and this is not reversible (chemical reaction). that's it, future generations will climb on "soap"...

[@pucek365]

So sick of listening over and over about this "no ego" thing.

[@jameshn7135]

Pineapple at 4:45 ---- why?!

[@coolguitarchannel]

Poorly made video. Too much slow motion. Too many shots from on top of the boulders. I want to see the whole climb, not an awkward downward shot. And way to much interviewing. I want to see climbing, not interviews of people I’ve never even heard of. And no names or grades of the problems? Come on.

[@volodigital8875]

coolguitarchannel. Names and grades of the climbs are at the end of the film. Feedback noted. Anything else? Also the climbers names are at the start. Should help you in figuring out who they are.

[@coolguitarchannel]

Sure the names and grades might be at the end of the video, but it would be much more convenient for the viewer to have them be coupled with the actual footage, like most climbing videos have them. And when I say people I’ve never heard of, surely you know that I mean people that I’ve never heard of prior to watching the video. I thought that was pretty obvious. And it’s not like they’re saying anything that profound anyway. It mainly consists of them saying how amazing Font is, which everyone says. Instead of having fairly irrelevant climbers (within the grand scope of the climbing community) telling the viewers that, you should spend more time showing it. Showing over telling. That is the purpose of filmmaking right?

[@volodigital8875]

coolguitarchannel it was a stylistic choice that myself and the climbers agreed on to leave the grades and names of climbs out to encourage viewers to do a little research about areas around Font and scope it out for themselves, so they could maybe find other areas and climbs that they would wish to try. Also the film whilst you are correct in some aspects is more about there team ethos and how they approach climbs as a unit apposed to an individual. Something that is quite unique to witness with international competitive level climbers as they regularly compete on the World Cup circuit together. Also your “irrelevant climbers” comment is quite rude given that these athletes work exceptionally hard all year round and represent the sport to one of the highest levels, so maybe learn some manners on that front. Not everyone can work with Alex Megos or Jan Yoger. You have touched on a couple of aspects of filmmaking but sadly there is a lot more that goes into than you think. I appreciate your feedback on this and I’m glad that it’s accrued this reaction as that is the main goal in any visual media for the audience to engage, be it in your case negative or positive.

[@bedewest]

Poorly made is a bit harsh but if it's going to be called "Wild Lines" I do expect it to be about named climbs/lines when they're shown, not people and interviews.

[@jackchrisevans]

coolguitarchannel interesting that you don’t like the video for those reasons. I find it makes the video way more enjoyable when you get to hear from the climbers and their process of working the route etc. if it was just 20 mins of people climbing boulder problems with no context that would be way more boring for me.

[@everythingviral972]

There's something very unlikable about these "guys" personalities. I don't think I could stand them for very long.
