8 Bit Awesome

This is such a sweet example of combining low tech ingenuity and high tech special effects results in something totally unique. A linear story is generated with each "level up" keeping you not only awed by the surfing and spfx but by the progression of the storyline. All in all just a very cool video! Reminiscent of my Swingin' Toad Custom Vans!

Team: Jamie O’Brien, Cheyne Magnusson, Alex Gray, Justin Quirk Directed by: Greg Browning and Cheyne Magnusson Photographed by: John Ho, Eric Warner, John De Temple For our shoot, we skipped the meetings with marketing guys, photographers, and company bigwigs, and went directly to our surfers and asked them for ideas. In walked Cheyne Magnusson with his first-ever PowerPoint explained his idea for “8 Bit.” The Body Glove team and our other surfers were hooked like an eight-year-old playing Mario Bros. all night in 1985

Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY REBECCA AND LESTER!!

First Blog Post.

Thank you for taking the time to investigate my blog. This will be short and brief. I will post the things that interest me and my own doings that don't make it to the other sections of my site. This should be fun.

A fun little beachbreak water session with surfers Nat Young, Nic Hdez, Tyler Fox, Parker Coffin and Matt Taylor. Brought to you by www.santacruzwaves.com Camera and Edit by Paul Topp Photography www.paultopp.com Music: "Mary Jane" by Tab
