Life Cycles
Life cycles has got to be the most anticipated MTB film ever. So far its taken over two years in production, this then could also be one of the best MTB films in recent years. Ever since “The Collective” hit in 2004, there has started to be a shift in the way MTB films are made. Concentrating more on the cinematography and editing of the riding as opposed to the ‘MTV Style’ mad clips over a metal soundtrack, this genre has seen a shift into more ’Sports Documentary’, especially with the last Collective film, Seasons. From the passing of The Collective came Anthill Films, with their “Follow Me“, and soon “Life Cycles” will be released. What makes Life Cycles so special? Well firstly the two co-creators are MTB photographer Dereck Frankowski, and outdoor film maker and rider Ryan Gibb have set out with a vision to make a different kind of MTB film to all the others, and to produce something much more visually stunning in an effort to make the sport much more appealing to a wider, non-biking audience. This coulped with some of the best riders today, filmed on RED cameras, with a much more photographic feel and style, all makes for a pretty special film. From some of the behind the scenes photos, it looks like It will be worth the wait.
