The goal of this project
is to create an "interactive" series of videos. During the entire
production, the message board will be utilized to keep everyone
apprized of the progress of the project, to enable YOU, the climbing
community, to have as much interaction and input regarding the
final product as possible - including ideas and suggestions for
filming, editing and even music. The message board will also be
your source for information on where and when No Rope Productions
will be rolling its cameras.
The concept is to scrap
the "climbing video" model where you watch some mutants hiking
v10+ problems back to back. Instead, No Rope Productions' first
video (Vol. 1) will be composed of people of all ages and abilities
from around the country sending fun problems - "fun" in our eyes
ranges from your personal project, to an aesthetic line, to a
local classic, it doesn't take into account the grade. Of course,
we will have a few of the big guns pulling down on problems that
most of us can only dream of ever touching, but this won't be
the focus of the project. The concept is simple - Create movies
that are exciting to watch but most importantly inspiring. Movies
that make you want to get off the couch and hit your local area
for a session of pulling down with your crew.
No Rope Productions
will be hitting the road on a regular basis, traveling across
the country trying to capture on film the essence of each area,
the vibe of the local crews and, most significantly, YOU.
We welcome suggestions
from everyone - via the message board - giving feedback on the
website, ideas or comments on the project, and even must see destinations.
NoRope.com will also
be a showplace for your photographic and video endeavors. . .
send us your photos and videos and let everyone know what's going
on in your crew or local bouldering scene.
The objective of Vol.
1 is to incorporate people from all over the country whether they're
hittin' up the classic destinations, showing off their hidden
local gems or making it known that they've found the next hot
spot - including everything from the classic problems to the unknown
diamonds in the rough.
