Glad to see some good media coming from Glacier Park - no helis and no lifts here, so it's not so popular among the movie-making crowd i guess. Greg captures the area well.

At least I'm making an effort at the former <grin>. Out of curiosity I just looked at a certain skiing magazine's website on my phone, and it was a nearly unreadable disaster that obviously had nothing to accommodate a mobile, and they've got a staff of more than one person! So I guess I'm ahead of the curve to some degree at least. Funny how the mobile web is taking design back to the basics. Who would have thought? Probably not for long though.</grin> Okay Dimitriy, I’ll let it ride for now, shoot, how many one-man websites even have a mobile version, let alone one that’s set up to work on every smartphone out there?

He might be setting a trend, as his mix of POV with voice over, music and ambient sound is definitely different and very compelling (all somewhat better in the actual movie). Sound mixing isn't easy and doing voice over is a high art, I've always found sound harder than editing the visuals, so good on Greg!

However the nokia e61i smartphone loads a full page view (most sites it displays in full page view and only a few seem to recognize it as a mobile browser) Don't worry too much about it might just be me.

I look forward to seein' it on the Banff tour. I've looked over at Dawson, Selwyn, etc. a few times from Sir Donald in the summer. I like how Greg highlights the mountains themselves--cornices, couloirs, weather sockin' in, cliff bands. The Selkirks amaze, even here at the southern end. Sweet movie.
