For more than a decade, MSP's countless award-winning films have delivered one "must-see? flick after flick. This year's masterpiece The way I see it is no exception. In addition to breathtaking freeride and freestyle shots, the innovative POV shots and the freestyle elements of the athletes on the dream slopes of Alaska are particularly impressive.
MSP has often proven that freeride and freestyle shots work together as a film concept. And also belong together. The mixture between "off-piste skiing" and trendy aerial acrobatics is what makes The way I see it stand out. In particular, the young generation of freeriders such as Jean Pettit impresses with numerous spectacular freestyle elements on powder faces typical of Alaska. 30-meter cliffs are no longer jumped straight, but garnished with rodeos, flatspins and other turns in all geometrically imaginable axes. Freestyle action that until a few years ago was only seen in marked-out fun parks. The increasing mix of the familiar heli-supported action and self-scaled hut-to-hut excursions also offers a clear focal point for ski touring enthusiasts.
Although there is no really recognizable storybook, the POV concept is convincing. Thanks to the technical innovations in wearable helmet cameras, numerous new and exciting camera angles are integrated into the appealing editing.
Conclusion
MSP succeeds in creating another masterpiece of freeski cinematography with The way I see it. Although the narrative is largely dispensed with, this only slightly diminishes the successful and spectacular overall concept. Viewers can simply look forward to a firework display of top-class freeskiing performances with perfect scenic realization.
