When certain movies take a long time to create, you know one of two things. It’s so epic that the craft taken to create such an odyssey of a film will ensure greatness. If you want to go back to the dawn of film, a 1924 silent movie called GREED was edited down from an 8-hour saga to a measly 4 hours cut, which Erich Von Stroheim denounced. The film became a classic. Then there is the epic of all epics when it comes to movies. It was a film produced by one of the most influential storytellers of all time, George Lucas. That’s right. When 1986’s HOWARD THE DUCK was released, it had every BALUT drooling with admiration.
But when some productions take so long because of a lack of organization, this may lead to a disaster. FLIP SKATEBOARDS is really good at taking a long time in creating their skate videos. Via Skatedaily, The stars aligned when Flip Skateboards joined forces with noted music producer and premier league DJ Baron, to create a completely unique soundtrack for their hugely anticipated third video project, Extremely Sorry. The soundtrack has been years in the making and features an array of musical styles to match each skater’s part in the film. Baron worked closely with film director Ewan Bowman for countless hours to score original tracks that matched each skater’s style as well as one of the film’s stars Geoff Rowley, who helped Baron connect closely to the skaters and legitimize the process with them and the skateboard industry.
“Extremely Sorry has been four years in the making and the most insane journey I have been on. The music was made to serve the skateboarding and the skateboarding is epic.” - Baron
Through an array of relationships, Baron, Geoff Rowley and the Flip team were able to arrange a mix of artists to provide vocals throughout the soundtrack. At the time of this press release details have yet to be released, however expect appearances for major acts in the rock, rap and punk genres.
Partnering with Volcom Entertainment to distribute and market the album, Flip feels this soundtrack will set the standard to come for skate films in the future.
To give a taste of what the soundtrack will be like, Flip has released an instrumental track from the Extremely Sorry David Gonzalez trailer for FREE available on the Volcom Entertainment site.
The complete soundtrack for Extremely Sorry will be available for purchase in stores on October 20th.
