Having your cameras jacked would tend to slow down web edits for most people. Not the Give D guys. They have a new web edit up on Defgrip. Yeah so it's called "leftovers"... big deal, it's still badass and it looks like they are still having more fun than most so check it out.
There's a lot of talk about this DVD and from what I hear and see so far it seems like it's going to be really good. I heard there's some crazy shit going down and I'm pretty excited to see JJ Palmere's part. There better not even be ONE indian giver in it!
The latest Insight ad has come out. There are 7 total ads now and if you look back at all of them you'll see that the series has come full circle. The Latest ad looks just like the first except for the actual photo so I would think that means that this is the last of the series before the video drops.
I could be wrong though. Head over to Defgrip to see the ad fullsize and you can check all 6 of the previous ads too.
The Insight video will feature Mike Brennan, Jerad Washington, Davey Watson, Chester Blacksmith, Darryl Tocco, and Dakota Roche. Be sure to check it out.
Head over to Defgrip to check out a post on Spike Jonze. They have a couple of his videos and stuff from YouTube in there.
You may know the name or know some of the stuff Spike's done but it really is worth checking out because his Filmography is insane!
I first noticed him as the director of the Blind skate video "Video Days". Then of course he started to come up after directing the Beastie Boys' video "Sabotage". Then in 1999 he won a bunch of awards for the Fatboy Slim video "Praise You".
In 2003 he directed most of the "Yeah Right" skate video which really took skatevid production to a whole new level. He incorporated motion control cameras, greenscreen compositing, and other special effects.
Well, here's a clip from Yeah Right that has Owen Wilson, Mike Caroll, and Eric Koston in it. There are no special effects in it but see if you can figure out how Owen Wilson is able to do a bluntslide down this rail.... Definitely worth a look (I promise it is NOT Owen skating)!
-- if you can't figure it out leave me a comment and I will tell you.
