I’m no connoisseur of skate videos, but I’ve never watched one that made me feel like this one did.
Also, I hadn’t heard of the skater Andy Anderson featured in this film, but I dig that he is infamous for ALWAYS wearing a helmet, which is pretty rare among skateboarding pros.
The Shape of Paris is a balletic short film of skateboarder Andy Anderson zooming, grinding, spinning, and floating around Paris in the summertime. It is also beautifully shot by Brett Novak; Paris has never looked better. As a YT commenter put it: “bro wtf this is the cleanest footage I’ve ever seen. The cinematography and color grading is insane.”
Also, this is the first skate video I’ve seen with “trick acknowledgements” in the credits. Great touch. (via craig mod)
I love the nod to kindness in the streets of Paris as much as the trick acknowledgements.
Beautiful stuff.
