April 27th: We’ve been waiting for this moment for quite a while and we’re very happy to announce the official title of the movie that was made out of 100 hours of US_04 footage. Your votes were great help in finding a title that matches the flair and the content of the movie:

CROSSING THE LINES (CTL)

In this film you will find a lot of scenes and elements that have got to do with this title:
Crossing the Lines – Meaning the geographic boundaries and borders.
Crossing the Lines – Meaning that this movie is a cross over / multi sports project
Crossing the Lines - Meaning that we go maybe a little further than average.
An then of course, there is cool lines when you talk about rock climbing and surfing and so on.

January 24th: It has been a while since the last update on the post production online diary and you might have gotten the impression that not much has happened in the postproduction process…
But behind the scenes a lot has happened and the post production is fully in progress. 96 hours of footage have been captured, the editing is proceeding, bits and peaces are being put together. Here some work impressions… by the way we have not forgotten about the promised new trailer… it is coming…

November25th: It has been a while since the last posting took place in this section. In the meantime a lot of preparations for the post production process have been made. Going through almost 100 hours of footage is taking some time, but the outcome so far looks very promising. During the last couple of weeks a new trailer has been edited and will be available soon. For this purpose new music is being composed as well as some voice over recordings have been recorded in the studio. We will keep you posted!

October 25th: The Invisible man: Throughout the production phase there was one man who played an important role but was never seen so far. There are 2 reasons why: One may be his camouflage shirt with the writing "Ha, now you can't see me", but the more reasonable one might be, that he was only working behind the camera.
Thomas Klünsner joined the S o G Team as an additional camera man for the US 04 movie shoot. The whole project was pretty demanding as far as photographic and climbing skills are concerned but being a climber himself he could cope with this task.
