The Continually Updated Footage Thread

Agree with you completely. It’s oh so trendy but does the skaters a disservice. It also does the public a disservice because we can’t support them unless we’re 100% embedded in whatever team/scene they’re on.

It sometimes makes me feel out of the loop because I can’t put a name to a face with a lot of current skaters because their video output doesn’t tell me who the fuck they are.

It’s like printing a magazine with no photo captions.

Totally agree. I think a lot of it tends to come from the fact that many camera pointers can barely compose a shot, yet alone string an edit together, so putting up the most basic of titles in the edit program with a quick fade in and out is beyond them. Amateur hour clowns fronting with all the gear and no idea.

Definitely more of an aesthetic/ trend thing than lack of technical knowledge

There is also that phone message rant on Modus Operandi even way back then about no names…

This is really good. There are no names on screen so some of you might get mad :wink: (there are only five skaters in it and their names are in the Grey link below).

One trick but it was a banger tho.
