We already warned you whilst presenting "SUGUS": "GRRRND ZERO" is the new project by Julien Paccard, already the author of "COLOR FOOLS" which LIVE broadcasted half a decade ago, no less. Now, we're talking about an audiovisual production in the most literal sense of the term as in addition to the skate footage, the soundtrack is also home-made by Tommy Buder, and the multimedia aspect of the whole deal also takes a new dimension in how the focus is over the patient documentation of the textures skateboarders use and abuse, over an emphasis on individual prowess with little room for context. In every clip (because yes, this is a series), everybody just skates together - with the type of surface glided over as one common denominator.
We barely had time to recover from the seventh episode, that Romain Batard dazzles us with an eighth Giddy. And this time the cast that travels through the streets of Paris is even bigger than as usual. We even have the right to a little touch of romanticism that makes everything so harmonious. Add a rather serious featuring by Steve Malet!
You can now watch the full length in its entirety, and not part by part, and this does not give you the itch to search for spots under the sun, for the length of the summer, we just don't get it!
With this Red Fool, Color Fools takes up some color, in a literal as well as figurative sense, as we introduce quite the colorful character here, as explains Julien Paccard: "Morin is 27 and works in an Annecy hospital, where you can rent televisions from him. Red fits him pretty well: any session with him, you will come back with five different footage, all filmed within two hours… It is also quite possible that three quarters of this part have been filmed hangover. That's for him, not me… He sure likes to party, but despite that, stays focused and efficient!" You can check the whole project, supported by Posca, here!
While waiting for the premiere tomorrow in Annecy, and for the first part to drop online on Monday, Julien Paccard tells us more about his quite unique project…
Expect a Julien Paccard interview explaining the whole project soon, the premiere in Annecy Saturday, hosted by Art By Friends, and the parts to start unfolding from April 6th. Meanwhile, here is the official trailer for Color Fools. To each his own color!
A year and a half to search for spots, and try to skate them… That could be your classic formula to "do a video". Apart from one little detail: that color thing!
