2009 Skate & Create: DC In The City
Transworld are currently running their second annual Skate and Create competition which sees rival teams cram into a warehouse with one set of obstacles to shoot a short yet inventive skate video.
There’s already been some amazing entries from DVS and C1RCA but DC Shoes have just put together this little piece of art under the direction of staff photographer Mike Blabac and featuring the likes of Danny Way, Josh Kalis and Nick Dompierre.
Here is Mike’s comment about the movie
“Basically our idea was to re-create cities by simply printing our black-and-white backdrops, and make the supplied obstacles look like real skate spots. We kept everything really simple to the point of being ghetto at times not to overproduce it and make it as skate as possible. I shot some DC catalog portraits a while back in front of black and white backgrounds and decided to shoot a few skate photos in front of them for sh-ts, and I thought they looked cool.”
