Hadrien Picard and The Concrete Brothers

July 11, 2014

There’s no denying that by now you are familiar with Hadrien Picard’s work. We’ve seen A LOT of amazing videos out of him including his most recent release, Concrete Brothers, featuring Kevin Kalkoff along with his half-brothers Enzo and Thomas Benedetti! Concrete Brothers was part of the Nokia Pureviews series that Hadrien has been working on where he films using their Lumia cellphone that produces some pretty amazing quality.
We were really stoked on the new video and figured it would be cool to catch up with Hadrien to find out more about the video, the Pureviews series and what else he has been getting into as of late! Check out what he had to say along with some dialed photos! We also have a special PHOTOGALLERY for you to check out with more photos, after you check out the interview! Let’s see what he had to say!

Nokia Pureviews – Concrete Brothers

July 9, 2014

Here it is! Hadrien Picard’s latest Nokia Pureviews featuring Kevin Kalkoff and his two half brothers, Thomas and Enzo Benedetti showing you that style runs in their blood! Check them out cruising a few cement parks out in France and the Swiss Alps! You better believe this is one video you will want to check out!

“What could be better than sharing his passion with his brothers ? Well, luck, destiny and the power of seduction from a little bike has provide this opportunity to french finest Kevin Kalkoff and his two younger « half » brothers Thomas and Enzo Benedetti to be gathered in one video by our director Hadrien Picard. Happy to have three excellent riders behind the wide screen of his Lumia, Hadrien seems to merge their specific talents into one super rider flowing through the news bowls of french and swiss alps where their heart belong. Look at this soft black and white moving feature along the delicate music of Luke Richards who will make you want to go out and find an hypothetical jazz club around the corner. Yes, bmx and trumpet are a perfect match. Watch and listen, it’s quiet enjoyable.”

Red Bull – Behind The Scenes: Simone Barraco’s 8mm Project

June 10, 2014

This is great. Take a behind the scenes look at what really went into making Simone Barraco’s new 8MM PROJECT VIDEO! Hadrien Picard talks about the camera he used and how the whole video was filmed in order of how it was shown and how they get the film edited. Great stuff. Watch that, then go RE-WATCH THE FULL VIDEO HERE!

“Simone Barraco’s 8mm edit with Hadrien Picard has been received with great acclaim since its release last week. The clip, with its 1970s-style retro feel, was filmed on an Super 8 film camera.

The shoot presented Hadrien with many a challenge. Filming the edit with a 40-year-old analogue camera and one roll of 8mm film meant that he had to shoot the clip in a very specific way that put pressure on both the filmmaker and rider during filming.

Hadrien had to film all the scenes in the right order and Simone had to pull off any tricks on the first try because the film could not be cut or edited in case of errors, like it can be with a modern digital camera.

Hadrien actually filmed the project twice, with two Super8 Braun Nizo 801s. Both films were then developed and the more fluent and cleaner film was chosen as the final edit.”

Red Bull – Simone Barraco’s 8mm Project

June 3, 2014

Simone and Hadrien have done it again! Check out this brand new video they put together from some time they spent in Barcelona recently. This one is all filmed on an 8mm film camera giving is a classic look that just looks so good still. Hit that play button to enjoy it!

“Italy’s Simone Barraco and French filmmaker Hadrien Picard joined forces in March to film a very special edit out in Barcelona.

Hadrien had the idea of filming a BMX video on a 40-year-old Super 8 film camera to produce something that feels and looks different to the multitude of clips that are put out today.

Filming on one roll of 8mm film without any editing or cuts meant there was little room to manoeuvre for Simone or Hadrien out on the shoot. The resulting gorgeous edit is well worth their hard work.” – Red Bull

Nokia Pureviews – Athens with Jason Eustathiou

April 30, 2014

Here it is! The new Hadrien Picard video from Nokia Pureviews featuring Jason Eustathiou putting in work on the streets of Athens, Greece! Hit that play button and take in all the goodness!

“After the italian Simone Barraco, the icelandic Anton Arnarson, our world traveler director Hadrien Picard continues his european tour of the best bmx riders and lands in Athens to meet Jason Eustathiou, the greek phenomenon. Far from being a simple touristic visit, our host accumulated kilometers of riding like others multiplicate danse sessions. Jumping in (almost) total freedom from spot to spot, creating new movement while riding forward but also backward (!), the young and promising Athenian seems to take us for a Zeimbekiko, this traditionnal greek danse you will probably feel possessing you while listening to the music of this short and delightful movie.”
