It's no secret I'm a fan of the duo Brett Novak & Kilian Martin. The first one is an incredibly talented filmer, video editor and skater. He has a background in visual effects and one day decided that instead of spending his entire days behind a screen editing whatever other people were shooting, he'd grab a camera, get himself out in the daylight and make videos of what he loves : skateboarding. The second one, Kilian, performs magic with his skateboard. Magic. Period. Magic is what describes this duo best to me. These two have found each other and together they have taken the Art of making skate videos to an entire new level. Not only is Kilian one amazingly talented skater but the way Brett shoots, edits, does his transitions, picks the music (do not expect heavy metal punky music here), somehow manages to film with no one else in the background (keep in mind his former career in visual effects wink-wink), though for once I could see a few people here and there, well let's say it I am madly in love with his style. Magical is also the way they keep coming up with more ideas, more incredibly beautiful footages. I love filming too. I love editing. I am thousands of miles away to getting even close to what Brett Novak does but their creativity as a team deeply inspires me to become better than my-now-self. A dream? Filming one of their video's behind the scene. Life wouldn't be exciting without dreams.
Today these two released a new video. I have to admit that at first I got a bit afraid they had gone slightly too far special-effect-wise but the video only gets better and better as it goes. The transitions are brilliant. And the Magic happened again.
Be inspired. Or wish you were a skateboard. I do mean skateboard.

And if you want more, here's the one that has been my long time favorite of their series. But really, you should watch them all.
