Cool On So Many Levels

skate - shot on red - 120 fps from opus magnum prod. on Vimeo.
Came across this video yesterday and was mesmerized by it. I grew up skateboarding but was not particularly good at it. So, cool on one level by the moves these guys are pulling off, things I could never have dreamed of attempting without suffering a massive concussion (which I did, several times) or a broken wrist.
Cool on another level is the quality of the video. This short was shot with an HD Red One digital video camera, which is considered to be the current pinnacle, of sorts, of accessible high definition technology. The video above is incredible in detail, quality, and richness. It is not so much that it is film-like, but that it is something beyond film.
