As mentioned yesterday, Shed Bots have released the full version of their movie through Vimeo VOD. The film features Torstein Horgmo, Andreas Wiig, Craig McMorris, Anto Chamberland, Stale Sandbech as well as friends like Mark McMorris, Terje Håkonsen, Charles Reid and more.
I have to start with kudos to film creator Leo Cittadella, especially for the sound design and music which is really well thought through. Great mix of natural and manufactured sound without them being overdone. The editing is clean, the shooting is consistent, titling looks great and the visual effects are kept to a really good level. Looking at the production values, you can’t fault the film at all. And the vibe is great!
The film is anchored by Dex Carrington, a comedian who plays a snowboard agent for the film and does it really well with quotes like “Shred Bots is all about inspiring people, like that guy who invented yoga… Jesus.” I have never actually heard of this guy so I don’t know if it’s a consistent schtick or just for this film.
The crew cover a lot of miles shooting in France, Canada, the States, Australia and Norway with an awesome mix of backcountry, street, park and special features. There’s no doubt that Torstein absolutely kills it (plus he’s pretty damn funny – the rip on T. Rice is hilarious) and he owns the film, but I was super impressed with Brage Richenberg’s resort part in Wyoming. The young Norweigan goes really hard. Andreas Wiig has lost nothing over the years and goes really big as well.
Favourite section has to be the Hemsedal, Norway feature – just one massive hit after another with awesome style.
