Cool stuff, props for using Filip Glass!
but before I even clicked the video I knew what to except editing wise.. (old stock footy, night skating etc..) I know it's Josh's shtick but would be cooler if he mixed it up a bit.. Also what are they trying to sell here?
Nevertheless this was sick!
Interesting. I feel like he’s really changed and developed since Static.
I liked the Traffic video a bunch and all his stuff for Theories is a distinct aesthetic (grainy/60’s cultural b roll) that carries cohesion while not being repetitive and certainly different than Static.
This stuff would never been in a Static video (obviously the skaters are but not this editing style) It’s really sick.
yeah I'm with you, he does rely on stock footage a lot but he uses it in rad ways and the B-roll that he does shoot himself always looks superb. for web edits this is perfect, of course a Static video is going to be a lot more polished, technically, those are cinematic efforts. Theories has been super productive recently too, the guys must be filming all the damn time. night skating isn't a shtick... it just feels good and looks good. if clips happen then and the footage doesn't look contrived (ie. night skating for the sake of night skating), then why not?
also, Jahmal fucking Williams.
watching the Taylor Nawrocki part then this back to back was such a treat!
