Supreme - "Candyland"

[Not A Damn Chance]

Crook through the kink at union square is so wild.
The compression isn’t the greatest but was that Nik Stain that did the manual double set to manual? That’s also crazy.

The 1000 shutter speed combined with extremely tight shots is super annoying at this point.  I’ll watch it again once the cut down version comes out.
Thanks for the links.

At first I thought kader was lighting a pipe in the second clip but it was just a corn dog

This filming is a troll. What the fuck.

It’s comical. Like bill STAND BACK 15 FT FROM WHERE YOU ARE STANDING

Strobeck? More like Standbackabit.

m i rite?

Guys?

[Lenny the Fatface]

That Tyshawn line with the switch ollie is ridiculous.

The skating is very enjoyable. I somehow just realized that Strobeck's filming style functions as a Supreme lookbook with lingering shots on their line and nearly static shots of the skaters that function as models.

It must get annoying when you're just trying to enjoy your blunt or corndog and Bill keeps shoving a camera in your face.

thats what I was wondering. I thought it may have been Aidan at first but they’re wearing cons so who knows. But there was also a thread saying Aidan was on cons I’m gonna lose it fuck this it’s so stressful supreme is cancelled.

[nooky]

For the love of god, stop filming these random women on the street.

There's no diversity in Strobeck's filming. He literally does the same shit on almost every fucking clip. I wish during Photosynthesis days someone could've given me a glimpse of the future to show that one of my favorite filmers was one day going to film like absolute shit because there's no way I'd believe it.

    The long, slo motion shots and close ups remind me of Warhol's films. I understand they also serve the purpose of advertisement since a lot of the general public that don't skate are going to watch this. Although Strobeck's shots are not as long or banal as Warhol's, the viewer is still subjected to a similar experience. It isn't much of a stretch to consider his subjects as his beauties.  The split screen moments invoke Chelsea girls, and Larry Clark uses that technique as well. We can conclude that Strobeck is currently the most homo-erotic filmer in skateboarding, creating videos through the male gaze, of male subjects for consumption by a largely male audience. Don't confuse this as a denouncement of his work, more of an observation and if anything other skateboarding content doesn't invoke this much thought or relation to other videos/artworks.

Anyone care to dissect the use of the word Film vs Video?

[Style Police]

Tyshawn's switch inward heal would of cleared another 5 steps. One of the best ever done.

I'm assuming the title 'Candyland' relates to transgender/transsexual people; Lou Reed wrote the song Candy Says about a trans woman and also dated a trans woman who he met at Warhol's Factory. There were several links in this film where Strobeck filmed trans people and included Cher Autumn skating.

[Coco Santiagos Kitten]

I thought it was really good. Strobeck needs someone to tell him no on some of his editing choices sometimes, but overall I dig it.

[Alex]

Four minutes in, but already compelled express how shitty the filming is like everyone else is. Through Stroebeck we bear witness to the group arguably most defining what skateboarding "is", for better or worse. That he's etching such high caliber art/athleticism into our brains like this really pisses me off. Almost seems reprehensible. At least, I think the skating's incredible... can't really tell. Mostly feel disoriented by all the shaky camera work.

[Lukabrazi]

tyshawn switch ollie up the stairs at embarcadero was absolutely fucked.

[Bristol_Palin]

I was impressed. Tyshawn's switch inward heel down those stairs may have been the best switch inward heelflip ever done.

[Glurmpz]

I'm only 2 minutes in and I had to stop. This is gonna be a hard watch. I used to give Bill credit for doing his own thing, but I never liked his zoom in and out constantly style to begin with, and this is so much worse than it was in the past.

Kevin Braun's switch frontside flip over that street gap was way better and looked like it was way easier for him too.

Yeah, I was thinking Candyland was a reference to Candy Darling, especially with that long shot of the blonde trans woman with bright red lipstick that looks like her.

This scene needs their own Velvet Underground, though.

[waltercronkite]

Some of the more stylish skaters and he cuts em in half. 

Edit at least he knows he enough to leave nik stain footage alone

[my english is bad]

so many good clips ruin because of fat bill stupid filming

[urbneathme]

i know this has been talked about before, but kader skating literally one baker board is a really bad look

[CRAILFISH TO REVERT]

I liked it...as for the filming..you know what you are going to get going in, so I'm not bothered by it. it's fully expected.
Good to see Aiden has ramped up his Aiden-ness.
Also..Tyler Pacheco has one of the best styles in skateboarding.

[mongopushingmallgraber]

I wish I could enjoy these videos the way I used to.  Kaders Crooks was so fucked tho, was really hyped on that.  This video made me feel confused.  Half of the clips made me want to go skate, and the other half mixed with the filming made me want to kill myself for being part of skateboarding. I dont know man. RIP Pablo, he seemed like a really cool dude.

[A HOMOSEXUAL PERSON]

6:12 couldn't afford another set of john woo pigeons

[Alan]

This is Ben K, yeah? Glad he's finally happy.

the more you watch the better the filming gets, sort of. those first few minutes were fucked though.

[CBP]

Higher quality upload by Strobeck himself.

[Ocelot]

holy shit I watched that on my phone and my head is fucked

are the close-up shots and frantic editing worse now than ever?
