 Through all of this, I caught myself checking the vid 3 times, laughing at the comments, having to go to the washroom and now find that the final outcome is still the same as with most other vids... I wanna go ride but there is like 2 feet of snow on EVERYTHING outside... awesome edit Anthill!, and great conversation lads!Beer

 It's not a traditional demo reel because it wasn't sub-par. All the shots felt like they fit together, instead of feeling like they're just random bits and pieces.

 Only one thing I didn't like about this vid... Wish it was longer..

 Anthill are a cut above the rest when it comes to cinematography.
  • 1 4
 the rest meaning larock and silvia? idk bud
  • 2 0
 Maybe not in terms of vision or the technical side of things. But Anthill is shooting things in the four corners of the world in ways that the "rest" probably can only dream of at this point and time. Not saying Silvia wouldn't shoot the hell out of those places, but they probably don't have it in the budget right now.

 What films were the other sports clips from? The rock climbing looked mint, but I only saw mountain bike films on their website.
  • 1 0
 They do some filming for alterna snowboard films
  • 1 0
 The rock climbing is in Squamish, where they're from (a huge destination for climbing). The climber was Jamie Finlayson on The Silent Menace in the Grand Wall boulders - crazy gap jump to start. Don't know that it will be its own film - maybe commercial or just demo filming.

 Great work guys! This is a quality showreel that really shows the maturity of these film makers. Notice the use of a more behind-the-scenes look that really showcases the professional work they put into each shoot and not just a series of random clips strung together with music.
  • 1 0
 Absolutely stunning. The ski racing shots brought in my previous obsession as well. Those guys get so creative with their camera angles, it's amazing. And that scrub - I think if most of us here tried that we would simply wash out sideways into the trees. Commitment!
  • 4 1
 That was so sick!! But antill why put shots from 2010 in your 2012 demo reel?
  • 6 0
 Thanks everyone for all the positive comments. We haven't updated our demo reel in a few years so it's really just a collection looking back at some of our favorite shots.
