For this Weekly Vimeo Videos post I have put together a collection of extreme sport short films. A mix of classic old school edits and artist shorts that take an alternative approach to filming.
Peter Brings the Shadow to Life – This short takes a closer look at the shadow of the skater and ask the question, do we ever grow up? A unique approach to skateboarding.
Dream from ‘The Glide’ – Beautiful slow motion footage of surfing from within the wave. Part of concert performance where the video is projected behind the orchestra.
Spring and Summer with Jeff Curry – Classic edit of some great skiing action. I am a snowboarder myself but good footage is good footage and I do not discriminate.
GoPro – Alana Blanchard – GoPro walk hand in hand with extreme sports so I had to include one of their films. I love my GoPro camera even though I have scratched the lens.
Greg Illingworth UK/SA – Another classic edit but this time BMX. Greg goes big and aggressive, top quality stuff. Makes it look so easy and I wish I could do it.
STATIONPARK – Old school riding in an abandoned train station that has been shot with a keen eye for detail. Great use of space and lighting with a great skater.
