The Shape of Paris

This week’s Saturday Night Video is a bit different than the usual fare. It’s technically more of a skate video than a music video (but it does feature music). Powell Peralta-sponsored skateboard pro Andy Anderson and I have very different styles, but I enjoy his skating and his good nature. He’s as unconventional a skateboarder as they come, fitting decidedly old-school tricks alongside new ones, finding endless creativity with whatever objects he comes across.

The Shape of Paris is as much an intimate look at the streets of Paris as a skate video. Its videographer, Brett Novak, is one of the best in the skateboarding films business and brings a variety of shots that showcase the city’s charms. I’ve only been to Paris once, but I wish my memories of it looked the way it appears in this video.
