Absolutely wicked.
Mingus Gamble & Matlok Bennett Jones with appearances from Charlie Birch, Josh Pall, Spanky, Tom Knox, Casper and loads more…and madly, HK.
Two Blueprint related musical easter eggs in there, apparently.
Wheatley has really done a good job of filming and editing a modern skate video. The interview gives some insight but something that really shows how weak a lot of modern full lengths and general skate videos in comparison is how Wheatley deliberately gives title credits to the new SMS no one’s heard of, yet leaves the big names title less yet listed in the credits.
He also did a better job than Don Luong/EdT in the last Toy video with the humorous blurbing.
Absolutely banging video. Felt like a breath of fresh air in a very crowded space. Anything with MBJ is already starting from a good place, but it was all so, so good.
So that kid with the gegs Mingus Gamble, is the son of the guy who edited Mouse, right? (along with Rick Howard obviously).
Mental lineage if so: Johannes Gamble did lots of the type faces, animations and design for all the best Girl/Choc stuff. Not 100% but I think he made the infamous Gino and Keenan basketball ink blot title in Mouse too. If so, did Mingus’ dad do the SFX for that bit where the bench suddenly grows a spine too?
