Psyche, The Criterion Collection did not put out a DVD series featuring the four films presented in the “Skate & Create” series. But I’m sure for many of you film wannabes (like myself) and you tech dorks (also like myself) and finally you poser skaters (most definitely like myself), you may have had a zillion questions running and zipping through your mind as you watched in amazement the spectacle that Osiris, Globe, Emerica, and DVS.
Just in case if you’re uninformed about these things, “Skate & Create” was a one of a kind and extremely unique skateboard contest putting 4 shoe companies up against each other with 5 skaters per team locked up in a warehouse for 9 days, and one videographer. You could imagine what went down. They produced a wide array of shorts consisting of everything from stoner clips to circus fun, plus plenty of slow mo.
Well when it was all said and done with plenty of debate, DVS came out on top with the winning video. And I must say, I was quite impressed. Not as good as my Rollerblade film, but still pretty good.
Well Red Bull had an exclusive interview with the DVS “Skate & Create” director Colin Kennedy. Read on and you too can learn how to create something as cool and as seductive as this. And possibly something pretty good as the video below. Check out the interview over at the Red Bull Site.
