The Art of Flight
The Art of Flight may be old news to some of you but I just can't help myself. It's the best movie I've seen. I love the cinematography and the ultra slow motion which gives it a surreal quality. It's the ultimate extreme sport movie. One of the reasons it keeps your heart racing is because the rider is facing death in every single shot. I've done a lot of backcountry heli-boarding in Alaska and I know first hand, how many ways you can die in mountains like these. All the more reason to appreciate what it took to make this movie because you know for every shot shown there were twenty others that didn't make the cut. Either because someone didn't land the trick or ragdolled down a 55 degree face. This type of cinematograhy is hopefully the future of documentaries.
