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.
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!
Our Color Fools series is starting to beef up a little, with a third episode, and therefore a new color: orange! How many spots of that hue do you have around your neck of the world? Maybe none… That did not stop Sylvain Bergasse to tackle it, as explains the Color Fools mastermind, Julien Paccard: "Sylvain is 25, studies psychomotricy in Geneva and survives off French welfare, but that stopped him from buying plane tickets to go find orange spots! He does ressemble his color, actually: always in a good mood!"
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!
