How I made a climbing film 🧗🏽♀️

- Just to reiterate, this isn't me trying to tell you how to make a climbing film (as I'm sure there are SO MANY ways to do it!), it's more of an inside look of what I found works for my specific situation as a climber-UA-camr. I'm kinda stumbling and bumbling forward in this UA-cam space and enjoying the creativity of filmmaking and all the new opportunities I have!! I never would have thought I'd be producing and directing AND climbing in adventure films... what is even happening hahaha.
I asked the internet if a behind the scenes video would even be interesting (in my head I'm like, okay I'm about to NERD OUT here) and a lot of people seemed at least slightly interested.... GOOD ENOUGH for me! lol. Enjoy!

The thing that got me watching your videos was that you always show your emotions. In the first video I watched you cried after sending a climb because it was so scary and I love that you share that side of climbing (and of yourself). Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Dear future sponsors, pls give Anna a sh*t ton of funding so that she can continue to get out there and be her amazing self in cool places… and capture it for us all! Dear Anna, great work. It’s interesting to see how much hard work is done behind the scenes.
😂 tell ‘em!! And thank you so much :)
The project funding and sponsor pitching segment was incredibly insightful, and I’m amazed you’re one of the only few talking about it, so thank you. Extremely insightful.
It obvious from your films, which are outstanding, that you are as passionate about your film making as you are about your climbing. But hearing you talk about the process brings that passion out even more. Thank you Anna, for all that you create, from the silly to the sublime. It's an amazing gift to all of us. And your mobile created a funny effect in the top left corner. :D
This is the kind of stuff that belongs in Reel Rock! It's so important to show the personal growth and emotional aspects of climbing. You're a wonderful storyteller, and even more impressive that you do most of it yourself. It sounds like climbing has been an avenue for huge personal growth for you, and it's very cool to be brought along on your journey. Thank you for sharing
It's wonderful to see your passion for climbing and your passion for videomaking.
Really wish to be as free as you are. All of that is giving me the idea of starting my own YT channel of climbing.
@3:45 to 4:05 couldn't be more relatable. And the edit! Those two snippets together😭😂
I loved this!! Thanks for sharing this insightful look into your process!
Anna, my husband and I have been watching your channel for a while now, and we were super blown away by both your short films. It's incredible to see you growing in all aspects of your life; climbing, videography, editing, even just you as a person showing moments of reflection and growth. You're knocking it out of the park.
Thank you so much! I feel so lucky to be where I am, and to have so much of my journey documented🙏🏽
Really fascinating! I loved watching the film, but when I watch films like this I tend to imagine that they "just happen". I'm aware that there must be someone there with a camera, maybe climbing above, but the complexity of setting up these shots is an eye-opener. I'm not surprised you got emotional! It must be like a birth process.
Tom saying "What am I?" I feel that.
This is the real story. Incredible work and accomplishments Anna, you are inspiring !
Thanks for the behind the scenes insights! It's so easy to overlook all of the hard work and planning that go into films of that scale. Jugging up those pitches almost sounds more tiring than climbing them, haha!
You’re an inspiration, Anna! 🔥🔥 thanks for the vulnerable and helpful bts!
I love how honest you are about all your emotions throughout the climbing journey, and this behind the scenes about the whole filming process! Thank you 🙏
I always say how I love your vlogs and your fun humour and honesty. Oops I did it again. 😊 As the guy who watches all the dvd / blu ray extras to every movie I buy, this vlog was really up my street. Film making is so cool and I totally related to what you were saying about getting really excited about creating art that you can share with people and get positive interesting feedback about. Cliche time:- fail to plan = plan to fail. All that time thinking up questions, storyboarding, (adding a dog for a million extra views 😅) is never wasted. You made a movie! How cool is that!?! Nice one Anna 😊
Thank you!!! And right?! I made a movie 😆 (or two or three…)
Videography is something that has always fascinated me, but when I think about editing, I immediately feel that I'd better not even start. More kudos to you, Anna! I envy (in the best way possible) your creative and physical energy.
You and Tom are one of my favourite duos! I love that clip of him "I am...what am i??" haha. Also love the video!
Anna I love this thanks for sharing, perfect timing as I’m heading into my first ever project where I’m not going to be the main person behind the camera. I def describe myself as “someone who is not *actually* organized, so it’s nice to hear that you feel that way as well because I love your stuff
Court thank you!! You definitely have made me feel less alone in the climbing UA-cam filmmaking space and I appreciate you saying this 🥲
The animations in the las locas video looked amazing, I thought you had an editor do it! I would actually love to know how you get money to finance all that you do. What kind of side jobs do you take on?
I love your content btw, been bouldering for four months and thanks to you and other creators I'm already able to take on fairly hard problems (and stay motivated to try problems I think I can't solve more often). Your Videos are incredibly inspiring and well made and it always makes my day when I see a new upload from you. Thank you so much for being so vulnerable and open in front of the camera ❤️
Thank you!! It depends! I’ve taken a lot of outside editing jobs. I used to edit videos for a different YT channel as well. This added up to a pretty good side gig I could do on the move. More recently I’ve started selling stickers/ merch, I’m on Patreon, I do random modeling gigs and freelance articles, I sell foot pics lol, basically whatever I can possibly do to let me climb and create more. I’m hoping sponsors keep raising my salary as I get better at what I do, but it’s not easy being “just” a climber.
Wow, I was so struck by your beauty here! Just pure loveliness :)
What an awesome job of giving an inside look at all the hard work that goes onto makeing the videos we enjoy thank you!
Don't know why it took me so long to get here... (It might have been because I was overwhelmed by my basement flooding.) Anyway, I got back into rock climbing because I wanted to up my game in climbing photography. I've made some progress on both, but I also had over a decade of fairly rigorous (and unforgiving) rope work experience from Caving to build on top of. (Think climbers are paranoid about ropes...you've not yet met a caver. We take paranoia to new depths...literally.)
I deeply appreciate this BTS as relatively few of us are truly aware of the effort put into making these things. The honesty is welcome, and perhaps it will open the door for others in the future.
Thanks for amusing us in times of boredom and rainshowers showing us your passion for climbing. Even your glossy eye makeup melts away under your nice charisma ! :)
So candid and genuine as always. So happy that you're getting to follow your dreams (literally in some sense) and pursue your creativity while inspiring the rest of us! Thanks Anna, you're the best!!! ❤
Thank you for making this Anna 💙💜💚 the emotion and the details are amazing
Very inspiring video, the honesty and passion is truly heartfelt. I am surprised sponsors don't see your skillsets. This video is going to help aspiring videographers on the work around a shoot, but more importantly the passion and work ethic to support you doing what you're passionate about. You inspire so many people just being you, which is a joy to watch.
Thank you! I think they’re starting to see it more and more, I just have to be patient (or something). Not much money in the climbing industry unfortunately. But here I keep going 😂
Anna thank you for this very nice insight, it gives a really good idea how much effort there is involved in making your video’s and I think a lot of people forget about this when there commenting on it.
Your positive energy and spontaneous creativity shine through in every frame, making your work very entertaining and inspiring.
I really respect the way about you telling how you tread the people that you work with. I think a lot of people can learn from that.
Thank you again for offering this glimpse into your creative kitchen.
Please continue what your doing because your just doing great.
Your movies always bring a smile on my face because of the positive energy you bring. ❤👍
Your passion and enthusiasm is beautiful and inspiring. =]
Dude, you are so cool! Very nice of you to share this.
This was such an informative but also beautiful video, thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge, experience AND emotions
The finished project was amazing, awesome stuff excited to see what you make next!
Thank you!!
I am an awkward little duckling, and I feel seen
All the work that goes into this!!! I’ve never done a big project like this, I’ve only ever jugged up and filmed from a fixed line on a single pitch, and that by ITSELF is a lot of work 😂
Awesome film, you are amazing in every way.... now to find the actual climbing video!
Anna this is so amazing. Thank you for sharing and I'm even more excited for the upcoming stuff. You're awesome!!!
Your channel was in my recommendation page, I’m glad I subbed. The climbing “movie” was well made.
phheeewwwwww this bts has convinced me I am definitely not a creative lol. all of this sounds so stressful! i just want to climb! kudos to you for combining two passions!
Oh no! Hahaha it is a lot of work but it’s so fun! It’s like, type 2 fun sometimes but I love it hahah
Thanks for sharing this! It is cool to see all the extra effort, planning, and passion that goes beyond what we see on the camera. And there's a lot that comes through as it is!
I loved the part with you and Tom being your wonderfully awkward selves! 😂
Thank you for the insights! As someone who wants to go into videography this is so interesting, because I’ve always wondered about so many things that you don’t see in the finished product.
Such an amazing video, love seeing your process and how you push through barriers. Inspiring!
Been waiting for this, so interesting 🤓
This was super interesting! Well done!
You're one hard working, talented, passionate and entertaining person Anna. I've been enjoying your content since the days of the lockdown when you were off climbing in beautiful Spain. Your knowledge of production and post production shows and hopefully you and your hard work surpass Mr. Beast in UA-cam success!
😂🙏🏽 thank you!! I’m definitely getting better… but there’s so much to learn haha. Always.
great bts video and the sardinia film was also amazing, keep it up!
Awesome video! I really enjoyed hearing about all the intricacies of making a climbing video. Been following for a couple years
I am enjoying seeing you branch out, and take advantage of all the experiences you have had. Keep it up!
You're SO inspiring Anna, thank you so much. Behind the scene video sometimes could be even as good as the video itself
you are incredible and inspiring. THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO !
Absolutamente 100% súper humana! Te pasaste de seca Anna. Tus habilidades de escaladora y cinematográfica son maravillosas. Tus filmes son preciosos! Me dio mucha pena verte llorar pero mucho orgullo de verte salir al otro lado con tanta inspiración😊. Vamos chica, eres magnífica! Si alguna vez necesitas una ayudante…avísame! Cariños desde Escocia
Aww muchísimas gracias! Me da illusion leer q te gustan mis vídeos 🥹 y q tienen un impacto tan emocional. Saludos desde California 🥳
Thank you. Awesome video!
this is super insightful
Such a great video, thanks for sharing the insights!
One thing you might consider re: the budget/money side of things - you mentioned "losing money" on a project. It might be worthwhile to consider the flip side that you're investing money in yourself. Building a career in just about anything requires a pretty serious investment of time and money, which you've clearly been doing - and it looks to be slowly paying off. Just my .02 on being a bit more forgiving of yourself and reframing the situation.
Thank you for this reminder :) It's a little tough to see it so close up sometimes
Awesome video, really enjoyed it! Makes me want to make more videos of my own!
Really cool in depth vid🎉
the movie is 💥
keep going anna!
wow havent seen you with makeup yet. pretty rainbow blinkers :D. love your videos, youre so human
hey anna keep pushing you are awesome!
Incredible informative and cudos for facing your emotions and struggles to publically. Seeing you climb reminds me that this is an emotional sport and we should not take videos of pro athletes where only the technical struggles are in focus as the norm!
Nice video, thanks
Amazing video Anna, love getting this perspective on your work. It was especially interesting hearing about how you film while climbing. Seeing you create all these pulley systems was so interesting, how do you learn all that stuff? Just exposure to trad for years? You're a total badass and such an inspiring climber! Just a heads up - it looks like there's a broken link on your bonfire merch site for the triblend unisex tee.
Yes! A lot of exposure over the last two years and also going with people who know what they’re doing to double check me. I was still (and still am…) a bit of a gumby when it comes to multipitch climbing haha
OH also thanks for the Bonfire Merch update- I'll take a look now!
This BTS is such a cool video! Never realized how much goes into a video! Just out of curiosity, do you have like a full time team of people that go with you when you shoot or do you have to shoot/do everything yourself?
Thank you for sharing! ❤ You are so awesome!!!
Someone come sponsor our queen pls!!!! 🙏🏼
I wish!! I usually hire a single videographer for as many days as I can afford and do the most with what I've got! I try to get random phone videos to supplement throughout the process/story.
You are literally going what I want to do be doing in New Mexico. How do I even start.
your makeup looks so good!!!!! what is that eyeshadow!!!
Oooooh thank you! My mom got it for me for my birthday, I believe it’s on the “cosmos” pallet from… somewhere? Haha
Awesome vid… this is why I film bouldering 😂
Hi Anna , I wonder ir you could tell us more about the photo/video gear. the dron and cam setting
Ah yeah! I wanted to include this in the film but didn’t have the budget at the moment to pay the videographer what he wanted to talk about it 😅 I’ll try to get more info about this in a later vid 🙏🏽 I’m hoping to learn more about cameras as well so I can be more on top of it while directing in the future too
@@AnnaHazelnutt thank you so much for answering !
Maybe you could recommend us what basic gear ( camera / drone/ etc ) you would advice to beginners in the world of capturing climbing in video / pictures?
Greetings and Blessings !✨
@@franCiska8799 Absolutely! I can tell you what I personally use for my general UA-cam videos: I have a Lumix GH5 mark II (THE UA-camr's video camera haha) with a two channel lapel mic system. I also have a shotgun mic in case that's better, but I like the mic system because it's more intimate. I don't personally have a drone but I always hire people with them-- I really recommend drones for adding that extra element to videos, just be careful with permits/ wildlife and make sure you can fly it where you're filming. My videographers usually have a nicer camera bc they're in the industry, and for bouldering, I'd recommend a gimbal for a smoother look. I don't always have access to this but it's nice when I do. Additionally, I use my iphone for days when I don't have videographers but something happens and I want to capture the moment. You'll see I mix phone footy into most outdoor project videos to add depth to the story bc I can't afford/ it would be A LOT having a videographer around all the time!
@@AnnaHazelnutt Thank you so much for taking time of your day to answer! Blessings and best wishes ✨😊
