In The Cut – The Shadow Conspiracy In New York City

September 5, 2015

Curious what the day of the premiere of “What Could Go Wrong?” was like for the Shadow Conspiracy team? Well, here’s a little behind the scenes look that follows the crew from first thing in the morning on up through the premeire and after party! Looks like it was one hell of a good day to us!

“When you belong to a team that is spread all over the world, an event that brings everyone together is something you can’t miss… In New York City during the first week of August, The Shadow Conspiracy did just that; the entire crew was in attendance (Scott we missed you) for the world premiere of their newest DVD project.

I came along to be a part of that experience, and to bring you a behind the scenes look at the team, up close and personal. Starting off the day in the right way, a high speed ride through Brooklyn to The House of Vans where the video was set to premiere that night. The team caught their very first viewing of the video only hours before the hundreds of awaiting riders feasted their eyes upon the video workings of Chadwick. Vans and Shadow put on one hell of a party for everyone of all ages and the jam at the House of Vans went down without a hitch and thanks to Darryl Nau we had the after hours situation all figured out! Follow The Shadow Conspiracy through their day leading up to the premiere of ‘What Could Go Wrong?’

Featuring: Albert Mercado, Seth Kimbrough, Johnny Devlin, Trey Jones, Lahsaan Kobza, Simone Barraco, Paul Ryan, Scott Ditchburn, Joris Coloumb, Eric Bahlman, Mark Burnett.

‘What Could Go Wrong?’ is available in select countries via iTunes and on DVD worldwide through any Shadow supported shop, mail order, and their online store.

Globe Trotter – Knight Rider

February 13, 2015

Here’s one David Hasselhoff would be psyched on. Fabian Bader and a few others had a little night session in Cascais, Portugal where they clocked these clips for a quick edit. It seems like we see a video pop up from Portugal every day lately and that’s not a bad thing at all! Check it!

If you pay close attention to the credit lines for videos, there’s a good chance you will start recognizing names of guys who are producing some incredible videos. It’s a little tip I picked up on when it came to sorting through the endless sea of videos we see surfacing 365 days of the year now days. One name in particular that we always get stoked to see pop up is Dylan Pfohl. Dylan is one of those guys who learned a lot of his film techniques from BMX and has used it to push him into a professional career handling film projects all around the action sports industry. We wanted to know about his work and how he got to where he is today, so we tracked him down for an interview. Check out what he had to say!

Videos: Bobby Kanode

January 24, 2014

Over the last few years, we’ve seen a lot of videos from Bobby Kanode. From the videos featuring the Arizona crew like his new full-length video “Mediocre At Best” to his different videos for Subrosa that we’ve been seeing pop up for the past few months. Bobby’s videos have become ones we can always count on to come out with a good vibe and to have some quality filming and editing.
With the release of the DVD and his new role as the team filmer for Subrosa, we figured it was more than a good time to catch up with Bobby and find out a little bit more about how he got into filming, what he’s working on these days and more. We will also take a look at some of his latest work! Let’s check out what he had to say!

Over the years, I’ve seen a lot of different names pop up in the “Filmed and edited by” line. There’s a lot of names that come and go, and then there’s names of guys who as soon as I see it’s by them, I know it’s going to be good. Adam Blyth is one guy who I became familiar with after seeing his work that he produced for some of the U.K’s finest riders including his brother, Tom. Although his name isn’t popping up every week, whenever something new comes from him, it’s one you’re going to want to hit that play button on more than once. I’ve become a big fan of Adam’s work, so I figured it was time to get ahold of him to find out what he’s all about. This is what he had to say! Check it!

Videos: Grant Castelluzzo

February 5, 2013

Over the years, I’ve seen a lot of different people pick up cameras around here. In all reality, I think that’s one thing that has really stood out from the Midwest scene; the number of recognizable names who not only kill it on a bike, but kill it behind the lens. It’s pretty crazy to think of the dense population of filmers in the Chicago / Milwaukee area that have been doing things even before Youtube and Vimeo or even GoPro cameras to make things so much easier to produce an edit and get it out there… It must be in the PBR or something. One of those guys from that area is Grant Castelluzzo who has had plenty of years of experience behind a camera, but up until this past year or so he started turning it into a job instead of just a hobby. We figured it would be a good time to get ahold of him to find out just how things all got started and how they’re going today. Let’s see what he had to say!

Over the last year or so, I’ve been seeing Rich’s name popping up in the credits of different photos and videos. I wasn’t really sure who this guy was, but I was digging his work. Each time something new comes from him, it’s better than the previous and it undoubtably had caught my attention.
A few months back, Rich had shot me an email giving me a sample of some of his work. He wanted some time so shoot some more photos for some sort of gallery for the site. I kept thinking I need to find out what this guy is all about and decided to ask if he would be down for an interview. It was perfect timing since I just started playing with the idea of doing this Portfolio series. I’m real stoked to present to you this new Portfolio. Check out the interview below, then check out his work in this photogallery. Check it!
