silvia is by far my favourite video maker! you guys make sick vids! gonna miss the edits! make next season ever better guys, good work!

it amazes me that silvia films haven't made even single video that isn't stunning. Great song choice created a mysterious mood and the moment when Matty appears behind the trees like from nowhere intensified the vibe to the max. Kind of reminds me of Life Cycles forest trails segments.

have to say that wasnt my favorite silvia vid, but there was some intense camerra work in that!

tobygoodger (Jan 8, 2012 at 9:50)

Perfect song choice, actually my favorite video of yours! Something a bit different is nice to see. Well done

Shit eds these trails, just get to delamere forest in liverpool

deepcreekmedia (Feb 19, 2012 at 1:01)

only problem im seeing is some of those shots ive seen in about 3 previous films made by you guys. either you havent gone out filming for a while or you have a lot of shots you havent used yet.

davio615xx (Feb 19, 2012 at 1:02)

Stund, FastFokus and Silviafilms never let us down! They all get faved!

scott-townes (Feb 19, 2012 at 5:27)

davio- it's seriously one of the best times to be a mountain biker... so many quality small groups throwing out ill edits.

this was only pod because they used an hd camera ... there wasnt much riding shown at all

AustenB23 (Feb 19, 2012 at 13:06)

You idiot^

tetonlarry (Feb 19, 2012 at 13:42)

AvidDJ, this was shot almost exclusively with cable cam setups. Do you realize how much time it takes to set up cable cam shots? I thought this video was sick, the only part I didn't like was the beginning without a rider. I think it deserves VOD because of the quality of the camera work.

makaron (Feb 19, 2012 at 14:10)

gotta love the Boards...gotta love this edit! HQ verison somewhere?

BryanBobo (Feb 19, 2012 at 14:53)

I don't care what people say. This is pure gold. Anyone that has any experience with filming can appreciate the time and effort that has to go into filming to get even one of these shots. Awesome video. Well done again guys.

hate to say that this is the first silvia edit i didnt like. Frown

olaffons (Jan 2, 2012 at 9:07)

Couldn't agree more... Damn shame.

mtnbker395 (Jan 2, 2012 at 14:01)

keep in mind that it's old footy. I think it's cool. kinda downbeat and spacey. they've got better but it's still goin on my faves Smile

olaffons (Jan 3, 2012 at 20:12)

It's just a personal opinion. Smile

Sylvia is still the best filmmaker out there.

tdoyle1995 (Jan 3, 2012 at 21:50)

oh for sure silvia is still the best. its just not my favourite video

mike-gillespie (Jan 5, 2012 at 11:38)

i loved it! what is there not to like?

konaSTUFF65 (Jan 10, 2012 at 0:18)

i mean everyone has there own opinions but i thought this was a good video

aaronclixby7 (Feb 19, 2012 at 2:50)

i spent a 1 minute looking at slowmo cable cams of trees, and then another minute looking at slowmo shots of riding so I didn't like it. but that said sylvia is the best and hes still my fave. slowmo is just cliché now.

hillatoppa (Feb 19, 2012 at 3:53)

yeah, not much bang for your buck in this one really. too much build up and then no happy ending Frown

konablastboy88 (Feb 19, 2012 at 9:04)

as soon as i saw that the VOD was made by silvia i faved it no joke

rac3fac3 (Feb 19, 2012 at 15:37)

Ya this one was pretty boring. Most of their other stuff is fantastic though.

i have never watched a video from silvia and be diapointed

lmbngtracer7975 (Feb 19, 2012 at 12:31)

Agreed. While some people may disagree, i think this is some of their best work to date. The lighting is sick, and while the intro feels long, it has you thirsty for when matty shreds into view in the first corner. The chill music added another nice element.

[Reply]

huggie17 (Jan 2, 2012 at 14:07)

yes it had a lot of slow mo but every edit doesn't have to be fast paced and go go go all the time....it was still sick very chill admire the cinematography the riding the forest...the video goes beyond ripping a bike down a trail......DEEEEP

aaronclixby7 (Feb 19, 2012 at 4:41)

how is this deep? it carries no massage or meaning other than spring riding in my eyes. dont over analyse this is its just chilled, i dont like it but i admire the beautiful landscape and the cinematography it just dosent entertain me.

luckynugget (Nov 4, 2012 at 8:52)

Its portrays a message about how the state is a tyrannical and unnatural concentration of power that promotes warefare, glutteny, and class strife by inculcating its youth with normative values that sustain and feed the system.

psysquad (Jan 2, 2012 at 20:47)

I couldn't make a better film myself, that said. Pretty average, and probably the lowest rated of silvia films. Only +1 to this film was the chill with the music going with the slow mo shots of the riding.

[Reply]

hillatoppa (Feb 19, 2012 at 4:37)

Did anyone else get the feeling that these were all the shots they didn't nail... or just test shots?
It would be nice to see what's going on... I know it's 'arty' and cool not to have the rider in the shot, or out of focus, etc, but...

i automatically Fave a silvia video before i watch it cause i know its gonna be fucking ace

jeterman14 (Feb 26, 2013 at 21:45)

Looking back at this video and reading through all the comments has really gotten me to take a closer look at the video. What is it the people don't like about it? Not enough riding? Not a lot of big banger tricks? Or just to chill? Personally, these attributes are what draw me into this video so much. The video is so simple and so mysterious when watching, but from a production point of view there was plenty of technical parts. I think videos like these don't need to come up all the time and they don't for a reason. But, this one has shown a new perspective on the way a video could be made and entice the viewer. Silvia, this will forever be one of my favorite edits... keep up the good work!

norcoryde333 (Jan 3, 2012 at 6:08)

the ridng wasnt insane or anything (it was still rad) but the scenery/filming/editing is what made it for me

leelau (Feb 19, 2012 at 9:41)

Agreed. Boards of Canada in a Silvia video? Tough combination but you guys made it work
