Some insane Japanese terrain.

Just watched this. Asta is something else.
I have said this before, and I’ll say it again. For a company as big as Santa Cruz, why can’t they send their editors on a colour correction course. Their colours are so shockingly bad and none of the double angles match up. They had/have a filmer that had everything basically set flatter than LOG and left it that way… awful.

Yeah, Joe Perrin who made it has made some good shit but these SC edits are pretty dire.
Maybe he just has 40 things to edit a month…because that brand outputs a LOT.
Asta was dope, though. Some good clips throughout in that video.

If that’s the case, then they need to put out some job adverts!
It’s an AM video probably why.
Was a weird clip, skating was sick but just seemed cobbled together.
This part is FUCKING bonkers

Well with that review I’ll watch it.
I always trip everytime Santa Cruz put out an edit. They couldn’t be anything further from last of the mohicans, which is a great characterful video.
It was all close friends having fun though, so it’s always going to have more passion and humour behind it.
The difference is worlds apart though.

Lol.
Some extremely heavy single tricks and mad pop.
Not USA style but you will like it @neddy
He also looks like a young blindolliesoftrock too
Yeah, I feel like a lot of the SC videos are just a budget load of clips bought from various filmer and that is it…nothing to pull it together.

100% yes. Exactly what I was thinking when I was watching.
If you peep their YouTube, they produce a LOT of content. So, Joe Perrin probably has about 4 hours to edit each clip or something daft as they go out so often…so, production will suffer.

Yeah very true. The edits don’t do anything to detract from the magic of lotm and I’m glad an indie filmer can get a nice gig so can’t hate.
Bit bland tho

This brand has gone in a bizarrely MOR direction. Thought it was going to be all about championing women skaters when they first announced it with Leticia and Sky. Now they have a massive male team and are using Run the Jewels in their edits. Odd.
The fact that it is (presumably deliberately) named after a putative MK Ultra led sex slave creation programme has made me queasy since the start given Sky Brown’s involvement.
Oof. That’s grim. Dipshit So’ Cal industry heads need to run their ideas past more people with actual braincells.
