RIVERING is a feature film about whitewater and why we do it. Crowdfunded on Indiegogo, the promise when completed was to make it available for free. Filmed over three years in New Zealand, you can now stream the complete film on Vimeo: vimeo.com/170380151
I can't seem to lik3 this film qny more than this...❤
I love this! Love that they're happy to show the nerves, the bruises, the aches that come with age, as well as the age/gender range. Better paddlers than me, but great they're showing the less polished side of things, too
Before the first time play kayak, I try to inflatable rafting. It's very serious fun and getting wet river uuh
Great ending
Incrível esse filme, mandaram muito bem!
Very good
👏👏👏👏 incredible film. I enjoyed this a hell of a lot more than the river runner that made it to Netflix, as an enthusiastic amateur this was much more relatable. I am now just extremely jealous of the rivers you have over in NZ!
Thank you so much for sharing the passion, this movie deserves to be seen world-wide. As a 67yo I learned to paddle "eau vive" (=water alive) in the French Alpes this year. The feeling and joy of doing it together and taking in the extreme doses of adrenalin and fear of death, fast learning to use the power of the water, it has changed me into a lucky man. This new passion has opened up new worlds and freedom. Your movie shows well how and why. I could never dream up how happy I am for doing it and find so much fun and beauty. This is the improved me for the rest of my life.
Sweet movie but dude. Take those non locker caribiners off the back of your pfd
We loved the honest ending, We've all been there,
Way, way, wicked Wow!! Wonderful!!!
Is this available in 1080p anywhere?
No, unfortunately. I had to make the decision to output in 720 because I was using a lot of lower resolution footage in addition to the footage we shot. Trying to force low res footage into a 1080 environment never works, and it is better in that case to bump the whole thing down.
@@riveringmovie5046 Bummer; it looks awful blown up on a 75" TV! Amazing documentary! I can't even imagine if this were filmed today in 4k.
@@evensen007 It does project well, however. We screened it in an auditorium and it looked really good. I would love to magically recreate it at 4K, but I'm pretty proud of the content.
@@riveringmovie5046 , and you are justly proud. I watched the movie on a large tv screen and am in awe of the splendid image quality, even more of the breath taking scenery, and how you show the fun and passion all kayakers share is the best. This movie is an experience to live.
Its a good video. Greeting ronactive
I watched this last night, went out and bought a kayak today!
Are you still at it?
Also enjoyed the smiles gracing the face of people who just spent 20 seconds upside down in rapids. Taking the twist with grace.
Amazing film. As a kayaker I can appreciate the amazing representation of what kayaking is and why we do it. As a photographer I can appreciate the amazing shots. Well done, truly enjoyed this one.
Just watched this a second time after almost a year and if anything was more impressed than the first time. I simply can not imagine the amount of time, work, and devotion it took to make this movie. I paddled canoes for years and did a teeny bit of easy class II & III white water so I have some idea of the skill it takes to paddle at these levels. And as a photographer of outdoor adventure and marine scenics I can also appreciate the difficulty of capturing such striking imagery. A job way, way, way, more than well done! I loved this movie!
Aidan and I started talking about it in 2012, I think. I know I got the camera I shot a lot of it with in Novemberish 2012 and the oldest footage in the film is from that time. The walk up the Hooker River was the first big shoot and somewhat a proof of concept. Drones were still home-built affairs. Paul hauled a tractor battery(!) two hours up the trail to charge the quad copter. It was very tricky to fly. Stability was a contour camera wrapped in rags, and duct taped to the copter on top of a thawed medical gel pack. (You can really see the tech leap between that shoot and the Murchison River in 2015--one of the last shoots we did.) It was fully completed in early 2016 and screened that March. I have no idea how much time was spent editing--probably close to 1000 hours. What I do know is that I never could have done it without a wonderful group of talented and dedicated friends and acquaintances who all jumped on board to help out. The sound was mixed by a paddler from North Carolina who donated his skills (he is a professional) to the project after hearing about it. Truly an amazing community. Thank you for the kind comment. I am really glad you enjoyed it.
Beautiful....
kayakers sure are weird people I like it
I'm glad to see this was shot in New Zealand. In Idaho, USA, we feel a special kinship with them. NZ is the whitewater and jet boat capital of the southern hemisphere, and Idaho is their northern counterpart. Everybody here knows someone who is a boater, rafter, or a paddler, and I'm sure it's the same for them. We have whitewater running in our veins.
My first ever whitewater experience was a jetboat trip down Hell's Canyon in 1985. I was 15 and we had taken a cross country trip from Connecticut across Canada and back via the northern US.
What a great film!
I love this film. It's feel good about something I love: rivers and the people who run them.
Took me a while but I made it through the whole thing. Great stuff!
Thank you so much for sharing! This has to be one of the best movies when it comes to explaining the essence of whitewater paddling: The challenges, the fun, the camaraderie, the trust between paddling buddies, the skills one gets to learn running whitewater that are directly applicable to life. I couldn't help but think:"I wish that they would also mention or show this..." only to have it pop up in the movie later. Really well done! I will share this to my paddling buddies and show it to my children, because I think that this didn't get enough publicity when it came out.
Thank you so much!
Awesome Movie, as a beginning cayaker i can feel with so much stuff here...
Retired boater due to age and injuries but loved the show. My trip to NZ a couple of years back was fantastic. the people, scenery, and yes! The rivers! Mostly walking and fly fishing to enjoy the rivers, but did see a few nice rapids along the way. Evan Garcia of USA's Columbia River Gorge made a nice NZ kayaking short film a few years back. That's worth a watch too. Well done.
Lovely film, should be on mainstream television.
Easily the best documentary I have ever seen on white water kayaking! From the graceful precisely intentional ballet of slow easy Class 2 & 3 drops through the desperate attempts at surviving the brutal unseen and unseeable complexities of Class 5 & 6 drops, this beautifully done documentary covers it all! And covers it beautifully and with a spirit of modesty and reverence. Years ago while living in San Francisco I watched a documentary account of several Sierra Club kayakers running a difficult section of the Snake River. A friend and I agreed that it had been like watching seagulls buoyantly riding air currents. This film was all that and more...I loved watching it and would like to offer a heartfelt thanks to those who made it, as well as to those paddlers who took part.
Thank you very much for the kind comment. I did not have the best day, and this was a real boost. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
yall look happy and peaceful
What a great movie. It reminds me to the good old times in the early 90's when I was 20. I did this for a long time. Well done and be save.
Same here!
"it's a healthy active outdoor sport.." Excuse me what did you say, I was kinda busy watching this dude drown...
Where exactly?
24:10 ;) ofc noone died, but it looked funny watching him struggle in that context.
I could listen to Hugh Cannard wax lyrical for hours! Such sound life advice too! Talk about growing old with humility! 👍
Starting at 1:00:00, I don't know where this is, but it must be Valhalla.
Starting at 1:00:26 to 1:02:20, that is all footage from the Kokatahi River, filmed by Phil. Alas, it is way beyond my skill level. riverguide.co.nz/all/kayaking/Crawford%20Junction%20to%20bridge/5d16ba7b7b83b60017c668d3
Best film about white water kayaking I have ever seen. Brilliant. Thank you.
I'd love to go to New Z and take a week long course for advanced beginner. Did you write anywhere where these schools are? Thanks!
nzkayakschool.com/ Located in Murchison, on the South Island.
What song is at at 1:19 ish. Kinda punk bag pipe. Its rad!
Not sure what time you mean as 1:19 is solo flute, but the bagpipe stuff will be Enter the Haggis, a Canadian band that generously allowed me to use their music. There is a lot of their music in the film. They are an indie band, so please spread the word and support them. enterthehaggis.com/
That was great! Thanks so much. Kayaking videos are helping me get through Quarantine...I can't wait for it to warm up so I can get out on the river!
Thank you. That means a lot. I have not been paddling in a long while either.
I can't watch this movie enough New Zealand looks amazing really love your river's , how clean they are. Well done and thank you
Mountain rivers are really clean. Lowland rivers not so much. The river that looks milky in this film, is glacial sediment in the water, so it's still clean , but not clear.
i used to say.."We look like a rainbow colored log jam on this river." i miss my purple Dagger RPM. i was grinning ear to ear through this whole video.
SUPER COOL film! When is the next one?
Yeah, I need to do another project.
New Zealand here I come
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻...
this movie is probaply the finest ambassador for whitewater kayaking, I´ve ever watched. Rivering makes me think.... I could do this too... easy peasy...right?
beautifull
so beautiful
One of the best paddling films I every experienced. Brilliant! Loved all the delightful music!
Fantastic, thanks!
How does one paddle with such grace?
so great!
Poor audio on this! Why don't you let us hear what you show us? Why did you choose to cover the sound with musical noise? This is poor video making! Awful! 👎
I respectfully disagree with you that this is a poor video. We did a lot with the limitations we were working under--and if you have ever recorded sound in a wild river environment, you soon learn it is very difficult and compromises are sometimes made. As for music, that is subjective. If is not to your taste, fair enough, but that does not make it poor.
RIVERING MOVIE Yeah it was the audio part of this video I was disappointed by. I wanted to hear the water sounds.
I don't think I would have made it through the whole film without the music. It helps change it from a collection of kayaking shots into a story. Great selection and great film!
I also disagree with you. If you only see the bad of the video, that is your issue. Other people can enjoy the video, plus you are insulting the editor. I'm sure this would offend you if this was your vid.
I could not disagree more - the music really adds to the overall video, which is brilliant. Each to their own I suppose.
