Polytrix Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Probably the first time I heard an Aphex Twin track and considering I watched this skate video 1000s of times, I couldn't help but want more. It works really well at times...music matching the action so I'd say it's a good watch. Skateboarding movies always have incredible soundtracks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSKPxGLDu1Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sagan Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Nice. Never heard of that guy until just now and have seen a lot of videos too. The only time I can recall Aphex Twin being in a video was in one of the CKYs (CKY 2 I think, in the intro). I also recall hearing Autechre ("Tewe") in an Audio advertisement.

Polytrix Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Yeah. This was from a video called Day In The City which used to come taped to Sidewalk...a UK skate magazine. It used to be a dream of mine to skate London. There were some really cool parts in the video set to great music. The Alien Workshop movies are usually set to amazing music!!!

Polytrix Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 This too I think this is when I realised skateboarding is really an art-form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chesney Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I have skated with Frank a few times, so has another watmmer I know. He's a good dude. Tewe was the intro to Adio's One step beyond video. Some good electronic music has been used in skate video's but mainly for intro's or segments. Eyen, Olsen to name a couple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polytrix Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Ah that's cool :) Yeah he has really cool style. I haven't skated in ages since fracturing my knee. Now it's all good I can slowly get back into it but need to be careful. Just cruising is so nice. I think skating is generally misunderstood and unappreciated by most people.

Guest Londonskater Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Yeah. This was from a video called Day In The City which used to come taped to Sidewalk...a UK skate magazine. It used to be a dream of mine to skate London. There were some really cool parts in the video set to great music. The Alien Workshop movies are usually set to amazing music!!! Ha. This is pretty funny. Rich and Frank are good mates. I made the part with Mark Brewster on that video. First edit I ever really put together aside from old VHS to VHS stuff. I'm still making videos. Getting skaters to use AFX is a nightmare. I've tried over and over! I did get to use Flim for an off cuts edit once. Alan Glass once used a lot of the prepared piano pieces in the Heroin skateboards video called "everything going to be alright" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polytrix Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Are you saying Richard D James and Franklin Stephens are mates? I love First Broadcast...remember watching that to death. Post a video you've recently made set to great tunes then! HAHA so cool you did the Brewster part...I remember thinking the nosegrind up the rail was intense.

Guest Londonskater Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Rich Holland - the guy who made franks part. I'll try to dig out the edit which used Flim. It'll be online somewhere. Otherwise, these days it's all brand dictated music. Nothing amazing used. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polytrix Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Shame. I love just really well done stylish lines done to really well chosen music. I could watch Jason Dill skate all day without getting bored....doubt the music would do much for me though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Londonskater Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 He skated to that RDJ inspired Radiohead tube in Photosynthesis. That worked. Mo Wax and Ninja Tune stuff got used for a while. There's been a few Warp tunes over the years, but nothing much. I always thought RDJ's ambient stuff would work well with skating. Never really tried much, though.

Kennylogg Bubblebath Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 This thread has reminded me of a video I did 8 years ago. http://youtu.be/bFkj3RA4fhI It was for a contest on a skate forum I used to frequent. If I recall, we had to make a 30 sec edit set to a fast-paced track. Be warned of the piss weak skating/editing/camerawork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Londonskater Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Opens with Plaid - Eyen Epic UK video. Second song is a Broadcast mix of Badly Drawn Boy (Eurgh). Theres some random bits of music created by a guy called Mark Jackson which are quite good... http://www.markj.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
