Title: Jamie Tancowny Pig ad a fake???
Post by: ek27 on October 22, 2009, 12:50:30 PM
I just saw this animated sequence at http://skateboarding.transworld.net/news/pig-wheels-introduces-jamie-tancowny/

It looks to me like it was blatently pieced... if you look theres a guy in the background, and the next frame he's totally gone...  I know this happens in mags everyday, but I seriously don't know how they didn't realize how obvious it is...

I could be wrong...

If it is fake, I would think they would have done a gnarlier trick. No point in doing all that photoshop just for a backside flip. I am sure he just got an angle that missed the guy in the background. I am sure it is real.

Post by: ek27 on October 22, 2009, 01:00:59 PM
its really not that hard... they take a few frames of him rolling away, from say a backside 180, and put them at the end of a non-made trick... It happens more often than you think...

Seems fake, but maybe that guy in the background knows how to transport himself to other places in like 0,00034 secs. Thats the most logic    
explanation.

Sometimes distracting objects in the background that are of no relevance are taken out.  Seems like they just missed a frame of taking that dude out.  Rookie move for sure but I guarantee it's no fake.

exactly, if you notice where he lands is where the guy, also wearing all black, is standing, it would've just been a huge dark blur if they left that guy standing there, they took him out

Post by: Sleazy on October 22, 2009, 02:17:05 PM
i used to piece them together sometimes when i wanted to add an extra frame but these guys have fast cameras and it's a bit suspect that it's right before the landing. maybe went with the cleaner landing from the bs 180 warm up.
Title: Re: Jamie Tancowny Pig ad a fake???
Post by: professional on October 22, 2009, 02:17:27 PM
one of two things:

1) could have landed it and on the land frame the dude was right behind him making it look fucked up

or

2) landed it sketchy, shot a sequence of a back 180 and pieced it together

 if you knew the amount of sequences, ads, and even cover that aren't makes you would shit... Classic example, Slap Jose Rojo Backtail Stanford, came out years ago on the cover, and he finally just landed it... and I heard that the only reason he went back and did it is because Enjoi wouldn't turn him pro until he did....

For real. I remember there was a Logic video where it had a bonus footy of Van Wastell skating a double set and it was just a kickflip down on set and back 180.....and that took hell of tires. That is why I respect a lot of skate video when I see them. I cna only imagine how long it took Bob Burnquist to do all that megaramp footy. To go up and do switch stuff over and over again.

I'm guessing a sloppy photoshop job over piecing together two different attempts (or possibly even different tricks). If you notice the mini soccer goal doesn't disappear or move, just the guy, who like others have pointed out, is standing in the exact same line of sight as Jamie's landing. I'm thinking the photographer just forgot (or was to lazy) to remove the random dude from the entire sequence.

I think it's 2 sequences spliced together.  If it was just a photoshop mistake of the dude in the background, the sequence would of at least still looked smooth.  It's choppy right when the guy disappears.

I just noticed MFS has this sequence as his profile pic.  But there is no guy at all in his sequence.  STRAAAAANGE.

But yeah...from what I know about Jamie...I'm pretty sure he would've landed this whether the photographer switched up the sequences or not.

I don't think so. If the angle changed then the hockey net he was standing in front of would be gone. And I don't know if I would call that backside flip "just a backside flip." Its a pretty gnarly one at a famous spot.

I'm friends with some photographers and I have seen lots of photos ran that were not actually landed. Usually photo's on really famous spots have to get landed cause people will be asking for some video proof after. Also knowing Jamie , Im sure this is landed.

Oh yeah...it definitely happens.  But generally with single shots...not so much sequences.  I'm guessing this is more like that Guy Mariano cover way back.  He landed the trick...the photgrapher just switched up some frames to make it "look better."

But even when the trick isn't landed...it generally says alot more about the photographer than the actual skateboarder.

This happened A LOT back in the '90s -- before the ubiquity of the Internet when shit hit every skateboard kid in the world in a matter of moments. Single shots especially. One that stands out is Eric Pupecki's frontside K-grind on the old Venice Hubba. Fuck, man, I'm still waiting to see that footage! (Props to Eric for sticking it on the ledge, though! That was gnarly in and of itself.)

Regardless, I've seen a few clips of Tancowny -- dude gets down!

Snyderman had a reason to be pissed, he had landed the trick on video (s-s varial flip nosegrind) and had a right guard sponsorship to boot! Who was that fool to call him out?

This will be the first trick in whatever part comes out next of his, based on what I've seen the guy do thusfar.

it's obvious that the individual in the background is none other than the obscure SF lurker Julien Stranger.
