Blackbird Blackbird’s Skateboarding Views

by The Editors on June 7, 2011

For the video for their song Pure, San Francisco, California based Blackbird Blackbird brought in director Eli Stonberg who created some amazingly different views of skateboarding in the rain: sometimes 10 views at once, according to a story on Mashable.com.

“I wanted to create an anatomical study of a skateboarder’s motions,” says Stonberg. “When a skater attempts a trick, we usually think of their front foot doing most of the work. It slides and kicks violently to make the board spin or ollie. I was interested in what the other body parts were doing at that same moment.”

What Stonberg created is both beautiful and oddly instructive. Check it out.
