Here is a “Behind The Seams” video that I shot with my wife, Amber B. In it she walks you through the process of creating the stop-motion animation in the Eden video, piece by piece.

Amber and I co-directed the video, which tells the story of Element Eden. The project was a fun break from skate videos, and an opportunity to work together on something creative. I’m really looking forward to see where Amber takes her new found passion for animation and filmmaking.

Love & Guts began in 2005 as a skate influenced art show. Five years later, the traveling exhibition made its way to New York, at the Red Bull Space in Soho.

Amber and I were in New York to cover the exhibit, which featured skateboard icons Chad Muska, Don Pendleton, Lance Mountain, Pat Ngoho, Steve Caballero, Steve Olson, and a host of other creatives.

“Eyes Wide Open” was the theme of this show, which paid tribute to the unique characters within skateboarding, who sadly, are no longer with us.

Here’s the short film we created, documenting the installation and theme of the exhibition, and below that are links to the photo series by Amber.

MAKE IT COUNT, CHAPTER 4 – “EARTH”

“EARTH” is the fourth chapter of MAKE IT COUNT. The conclusion focuses on Element’s continued growth, reach, success, and diversity and is told through the familiar faces of the first three chapters. More so, Lil’ Jon, Pharrell Williams, and a host of artists and musicians (including Mumble members Amber B, Jeremy Fish, and Todd Francis) chime in to further explain the common thread amongst creative individuals.
