Seeing this after not for a while make me home sick for Toecane! An seeing Joes's love shack well!! I love this!!Love the music!!!Still ur biggest fan! And proud that I know you guys!!!!
The locations, however, were fantastic. The old iron bridge spanning the fast-flowing river was great. The random track footage, too, was shot in locations that were well considered. Again, though, a most disastrous soundtrack made viewing your film for me an exhausting, tedious exercise.
The soundtrack was extremely distracting and grossly inappropriate, as it did nothing to enhance the footage. I was also very disappointed that the protagonist at no time was seen riding on a train. If you're going to make a film about a guy who rides trains, you need to film a guy who rides trains. The scene in which the guy waves to the train worker was weak. You could tell that that sequence was edited. The footage of the protagonist waving was spliced into the footage of the CSX truck.
just my kind of camera-work ! I love the wide-angle, wide-screen framing compositions that show off your wonderful locations so well. a serious ( 2 day ?) effort . camera work, locations- +++ !
extremely dangerous to train hop...a friend of my dads friend got chopped up by doing this, he told me he watched it happen and it was the saddest thing to ever witness....
yeah, i have a friend who told me the same thing....it's pretty intense. though i still wanna attempt to do it. I've done it before..i just never rode far enough to reach another state
yeah true that man my friend logan trains hopps and fuckn he seen to many greens die on that shit because thy were being stupid and not listing to him so thy got swept under
A few of you are missing the point though, this film is a work of art and not documentary of thrill seeking such as brave Dave. He has made a great little film but not a fair comparison is it, two totally different genres of the film artform.
Good stuff, sensitively put together without the usual stereotypes, I think it is a strong piece of work.
Like you said, many people shun the rat race by choice and lets not forget how in our modern society that camping is seen as a leisure pursuit but not so much fun if your survival depends on it. With all the troubles in the world, the economy and hurricanes, we may yet see more homeless in the near future.

being homeless for a couple of years myself I think you've done a wonderful job at capturing just how quiet and peaceful it is most of the time.

Thank you... most folks do not realize that many homeless people live the way they do by CHOICE...
And if you discount the hassles and uncomforts of the lifestyle... it is not neccessarily a bad way to live...

Notice he didn't call himself a Hobo... the title says "train hopping" unlike some folks who claim to be something they aren't.

A hobo may be looked down on by society, and called worthless but they are the best experts on survival you'll ever see, and that's a fact.
