There’s one thing that all good skate videos have in common—they make you want to go skate.
When Aimless hit the web last month, the first thing I wanted to do was get on my board and roll, followed by the urge to talk to Mike Manzoori about how he made such a unique looking film and what prompted its production.
Mike worked on the above behind-the-scenes edit for ABD and we sat down to chat.
Art galleries in Paris, the future of skateboarding, workflow for a superpanoramic projection, editing at nearly a 5k frame width in After Effects, shooting skateboarding with a Red camera, triple Canon 5D Mark II setups and quadruple GoPro rigs all mixed with Mike’s uncanny ability to Jedi mind trick the pizza cops in LA makes for a great conversation. Check out the 21-minute MP3 of our chat.
