  • What happens when The FIFTY goes Freaky Friday and switches it all up?
    Heading out to Summit County, CO to ski the classic town backcountry lap, The Silver Couloir on Buffalo Mountain, skier and star Cody Townsend, decides to jump behind the camera and aim the lens on The FIFTY's principle cinematographer, Bjarne Salen. Joined up with Summit County ski mountaineering legend, Teague Holmes, Bjarne and Cody head out for a day that challenges them both as they switch roles for the day. The episode gives a unique insight into how the process of The FIFTY works through highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each person's role.
    This is line 35 of 50 of The FIFTY completed by Cody Townsend. The FIFTY is a project following Cody Townsend as he attempts to climb and ski all fifty of the lines and mountains chronicled in the book, "The 50 Classic Ski Descents of North America." The series documents Townsend's journey's, travels, challenges and each line and mountain listed in the book. It's a journey through the most majestic mountains and ski lines in North America along with a unique insight into how skiers make decisions in the backcountry, how they plan, navigate and safely move through the mountains along with the people that dedicate their lives to the mountains.

    This really shows how much work Bjarne puts in behind the lens, as well as how much skill he has. This episode looked good, not great, but good enough to be entertaining. However, if you click to another 50 Project video, the quality of shots, angles and flow of the film easily outshines this one!

    • @pgalbraith2
      @pgalbraith2 2 роки тому +20

      Bjarne is definitely a consummate pro, but I think they use a third party editing group to put their videos together. I don't know if it's just the lower quality of the raw footage or if they also intentionally made the video more awkward for storytelling purposes.

  • @PatValade
    @PatValade 2 роки тому +36

    Bjarne is a fucking legend, both for his work on the Fifty and the quality of everything else he's done! Also, it's nice in this day and age to see pro's who don't take themselves seriously 100% of the time.

    I really appreciate the “human interest” side of this season. Every vid so far we see not just skiing, but camaraderie, and personality.
    Enjoyable as always.
    And btw, I’ve always carried my camera holstered across my chest backpacking, hiking, skiing... Easy access gets the shots.

  • @ClimbingEasy
    @ClimbingEasy 2 роки тому +146

    I'm still astonished with how high of quality you guys have been able to achieve on the 50. Bjarne uses such a minimal setup, and on the fly. With a few action cameras, Mic kit, two zooms for the full frame a7riii and a drone you guys put out some of the best outdoor content I've ever seen. No need for a Red camera, or a pro Red Bull crew. Purely inspiring!
    My only question is who does the edits?

    • @MrJoeycrackers
      @MrJoeycrackers 2 роки тому +6

      As a camera buff, it's the magic of the Sony full frame mirrorless that changed the game. I have a first gen A7 and Bjarne has the vastly improved A7 iii. It gets the quality of shots of Cannon/Nikons, but at much less weight and size. Cannon has recently stepped up and made a similar camera, but it's still pretty bulky comparatively, even though I think Cannon lenses are the cat's meow comparatively to Sony.

      @ClimbingEasy 2 роки тому

      @@MrJoeycrackers in my opinion the A7 riii is the one to have, definitely a step up from the Ii and not exorbitantly expensive. Also they make e mount adapters so you can use Canon lenses. But to be honest, I'd just go with a Zeiss lens. But I think we're missing the whole point; you don't need the best most modern gear to capture amazing footage and tell an amazing story. Bjarne and Cody can do it, so hopefully with some try hard, we can do as well. Bjarne inspires me to get better with my current a6000 and kit lenses.

      @@_e5598 I also bought an a6000 years ago and love it. I recommend it to anyone who doesn't necessarily need to shoot in 4K. But if they do; step up to a a6500. The in body stabilization will open up the whole world of prime lenses for quality video shots. Just buy a lot of fw50 batteries.

We are well past half way now, and although it may take several seasons just to get the conditions right on certain lines, their is only a few seasons and 15 episodes left. I really hope they continue working together and filming some sort of similar style content in the future, it's just so enjoyable and so very very well done.

      @@CodyTownsend so let me start by saying I was a big fan of the Fifty, but this episode is the last that I'll watch. Maybe you should change the title from "The Fifty" to "All About Cody". Very little about the actual climb and ski, but all about you and trying to be a photo/filming dude. I've done this "backyard lap" and was hoping for something more from you on this, but maybe our little Colorado representation of The Fifty is less worthy of a real effort. The last few episodes with e-bikes and death valley bicycle approaches lets me know that skiing these routes isn't the main priority, but being all about Cody is the real theme here.

    I love all the behind-the -scene stuff. I'd really like to do film, but I am still learning how to use my camera for photos, so this was really interesting! Pls do another! 😂

    That was very fun. And funny! I can't speak to the skimo aspect of the mountain, but Buffalo is a fun hike/trail run. You get up high fast, there's some rugged terrain up there, and great views.
