So this is a project I recently started called Roots. It was originally a pitch to Nokia for an experimental documentary digging into the world of ‘action sports’. I put those in quotes because there is debate over what they really are. Some say sport, some say art, while many say lifestyle. This will probably always be in question, but what is certain is that the ‘action sports’ movement has changed the shape of our world. Everything from pop culture to architecture. Roots digs into why we are who we are and why it matters.
I’m not gunna dig too much further into it, but just know that I am not just being lazy out there!
Jeff Halstad did all the 3d work for me. He’s got a sick skate channel, so go check out
