This is the opening scene from the new Lakai skate video, Fully Flared. Made over a four year period and directed by Spike Jonze, Ty Evans and Cory Weincheque, this intro reminds me of Spike’s earlier Girl Film’s skate video Yeah Right!. I love the execution of slow-motion, music and explosions. And just like with Yeah Right!, this film also has an awesome soundtrack including the likes of Arcade Fire (yeah!), Band of Horses, Calexico, David Bowie, The Flaming Lips, Public Enemy, and M83 (who provide the song in the intro video above, ‘Lower Your Eyelids To Die With The Sun’).
