wesley_r Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Watched "Life Cycles" tonight. Absolutely epic! Anyone else seen it yet? Your thoughts?
BikeMarketcoza Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 yeah its slow and boring hahaha i prefer nwd 10 thats epic!!!!
PhilipV Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 It's an awesome movie. The shots are brilliant.Yeah it's slower than the NWD movies but it has a totally different vibe.
BikeMarketcoza Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 hmmmmmm but the music in life cycles isnt that great either
wesley_r Posted January 15, 2011 Author Posted January 15, 2011 Where'd you see it? A mate of mine bought the DVD. yes, it's slow - so what, I love it! it's not your average bike movie, it's meant to be beautiful, thought provoking and make you want to ride! I love the music, I am tired of your typical punk / metal / rap bike movie soundtracks... the music, combined with insane camera work and crisp editing - 10/10 for me!
Peach. Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 The filming is brilliant but i did find it a little boring and slow.Cam's section was really awesome thou but not long enough. there was too much slow mo stuff
Capricorn Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 i'd have to rate the sections with Mike Hopkins as my faves, damn that boy can ride a mountain
wesley_r Posted January 17, 2011 Author Posted January 17, 2011 My favourite part of the narration:Â "These days, that mystery is hard to find. The river is distant, the sky clouded with concrete. For many of us, life's great adventure, all its beauty, all its connection, sails by, unnoticed. Funny thing is, the river's never that far off. This is the story of a way back in, to the rush of moving forward. Born from the earth's crust, grown from the seeds of innovation, forged in the fires of industry. The earth's most efficient machine creates its most efficient animal - the bicycle. Our noblest invention."
nigelhicks Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 as an ARTY dvd - it was massive ... as a RIDING dvd it sucked ... Â Have to give the producers credit though it was amazingly well done ... just not enough riding
minjin Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 *Hijack on* does anyone have copy of Mud Cows 1 and 2 on DVD. they only came out on VHS about 15 years ago but are really legend *Hijack off*  and nope - havent seen Life Cycles
patches Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I haven't seen Life Cycles yet, but to those that have... is it similar to Vast? (ie. focuses a lot on the nature and scenery and cinematography)
Capricorn Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 life cycles is better shot Patches. way better. but that's my 2c.
BikeMarketcoza Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 lets just say it should rather be on national geographic that summing like supercycling
BikeMarketcoza Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 I haven't seen Life Cycles yet, but to those that have... is it similar to Vast? (ie. focuses a lot on the nature and scenery and cinematography) no dude its much slower and has less to do with the riding part more nature
