While You Were Sleeping | Bite Size!

holy shit…dane.

Disgusted that they used such intense music to a surf film. Ian Curtis would be turning in his grave. So fucking cheesey! Wonder if music royalties got paid?
Goes to show money cant buy style.
Literary songs have nothing to do with surfing. You’re just trying to fill a niche with that shit.
Kai Neville is trend follower rather than a trend setter. Motherfuckers got access to some epic surfers though. Kudos to the boys on their boards

This movie was end to end air reverses….was some of the most repetitive surfing i have ever seen in any surf film. i bought the movie because there were so many good reviews on it. but in hindsight, i kind of wished i saved my 40 bucks. what ever happened to rail surfing??? so much more style in big sweeping turns than flimsy airs. the only part of the film that was worth watching was the Japan shit at the end. also the gay food sculptures meant nothing to me….still trying to find the connection between that and the surfing…i guess its the hippies who control the industry now.but hey, to each their own. It is what it is.

The last wave that’s in Japan is so heavy, so perfect I would have like to have watched mores of that wave must been some mean beat downs going around.

the surfing is just nuts…especialy dane. as for the rest of the video… Neville may get some groms interested in surrealism, Brian Eno and cinema verite, but the art-wank interludes are pretty uninspired, ultimately detract from the bonkers surfing. what is it the filmmakers are trying to say with naked models on chairs and food/household sculptures spinning around, and crappy footage of surfers mugging on distressed retro film (or film-grain overlay)? this kind of reminds me of Chas Smith’s recent article in Surfing about how everyone now is grabbing a holga and taking crappy pictures with them to add artiness and soul… the soul is in the story you tell, no?

everyone’s a critic. i’m just from the peanut gallery. props for all the filmmakers doing this, but all you surf cinema hipster auteurs, maybe try this groundbreaking concept: show the personalities behind the surfing, not the surface poseur-ing. i know y’all are trying to sell boardshorts and what youth stuff, but take a look at what Patrick Trefz did with Idiosyncracies. You actually care about the people he profiles (in addition to how they perform). i’d like to see more surf films like that. there’s more story behind these kids’ million dollar contracts (and insanely talented surfing skills). i mean you don’t need a Bra Boys story or sob story redemption bullshit… but i, and i think many others, would care more about a young buck’s surfing if we knew more about them

yep, this was good… too much art shit but how do you say ‘holy fuck’ in Japanese

Good stuff. A few too many air spins, but that’s a common complaint from old kooks like me.

Sick Surfing . Shit video! Trashed a heap of good songs.

Dane was unbelievable! No comparison.

dane and john john. third chippa. take the first 7mins out and the movie pumps. well done mr neville and well done surfers. i haven’t watched a surf film from end to end for some time. this one is a purchase.

ive never seen a human surf like dane does in this. just inspirational. cant wait to see the stuff john john does in 5 years. and he’s already #3 in the world!

why is it called art when you set up a camera in a foreign country and shoot the trailer parks and dilapidated houses? does anyone actually listen to that music, or is it all just a cover for showing how artsy you are. the surfing was amazing though.

Comment 12 was ok. But he missed the point. The sculptured added to the uniqueness and strange new world “uninspired” surfing. Yes they have inspiration but the term what youth I refers to the fact that these young “youth” adults are able to shred. So have some sausages pouring out a hose and throw your fins out to an angle never before seen. The vid was epic as was the entire visual art design of the flick.
