Inside the Van Life of Pro Snowboarder John Jackson. || Vertical Video
Red Bull has released a short new (vertical) video giving us a little
look around pro snowboarder John Jackson’s custom home-on-wheels.
The van has been kitted out with everything Jackson needs to enjoy life
to the fullest – including roof storage for fire wood, an oven, a bed, a
place to keep all his fishing rods and snowboards, and an awning
outside to make the most of the beautiful views.
The best part – he can travel the world constantly in search of the best powder.
“The Raff Raff lets me travel around and live how I wanna live and get
to my favourite spots and go snowboarding,” he says. “What more can you
ask for? Going out and being in the wilderness and doing what you love,
and then coming back to your home in the parking lot. There’s nothing
better than that.”
Coming straight off its tennis-inspired collaboration with adidas and following from its London-based PALASONIC video released last year, skateboard and streetwear label Palace have unveiled a brand new skate video called BETAMAXIMUM.
Filmmaker Adrien Mauduit describes La Palma in the Canary islands as one of “few regions in the world where the skies meet the Earth with almost no distinction between the two.”
For this reason, the title of his most recent time-lapse film of La Palma is ‘ENTRE CIEL ET TERRE’ which translates literally to mean ‘Between the sky and Earth.’
Recorded with the “Canon 6D Baader modified, the Sony a7s, the Sony a7rII and a variety of bright lenses ranging from 14mm to 300mm,” this short film by Mauduit captures the beauty of the dark night sky from the mountain tops of La Palma.
Mauduit claims his intent was “to give the audience sort of a
confusion as to where they are because that’s precisely the feeling you
get when you look up at the stars from the mountains.”
The awe-inspiring range of colors Mauduit captures were made possible
with his intentional use of an astro-modified camera which “enable [him] to almost get the full range of colors a DSLR can pick up on single frames from nebulae.”
Maudit describes his inclusion of the Tajinaste flower around the 1:40 mark, as inspired by its “majestic and prehistoric” character. As he relayed, “It
really adds something special to the special atmosphere I wanted to
convey, especially when the milky way galaxy and the sea of clouds move
in the background!”
Gucci’sHallucination Campaign for their Spring Summer Collection is a surreal but stylish take on classic paintings.
Done in collaboration with Spanish artist Ignasi Monreal, the campaign
features a rollout of both clothing and accompanying images inspired by
surreal Pre-Raphaelite paintings and artists put together here in this compilation of animations, the images ooze the
kind of high-brow style and class that Gucci has come to be known for,
whilst still inject enough fun and creativity into the campaign to keep
anyone transfixed by the images on screen.
