Ty Evans, the filmer behind some of the bestest skate-videos on earth - most notably Girl's Yeah Right (2003) and Lakai's Fully Flared (2007) is currently filming the new Chocolate video, and he's using equipment that puts a whole new angle on skateboarding. Here's a little teaser where he's just fooling around a bit.
Actually, Evans has always used kinda Hollywood-techniques in his videos. I guess having Spike Jonze around owning Girl Skateboards and still being totally into the useless wooden toys means that Ty has access to some of the finer lenses out there. Check out the invisible boards-montage in Yeah Right here and the Fully Flared intro here. They blow up stuff, it's ridiculous.
monochrom is an art-technology-philosophy group having its seat in Vienna and Zeta Draconis. monochrom is an unpeculiar mixture of proto-aesthetic fringe work, pop attitude, subcultural science, context hacking and political activism.
