Fred Mortagne is a French film maker that makes skateboarding videos. As well does he make skateboard videos he creates 'gimmick' videos, which serve no purpose but are very cleverly shot and edited. Mortagne has an amazing editing style, he can make clips that are very smooth flowing, as well as making something look glitchy, I think his style is very effective.
In this first video he takes the idea that skateboarders are always moving, then takes that idea and flips it on its head, by making the objects move towards the skateboarder the video is given a new edge, taking the norm and reversing it. I also think the editing style reflects this, the editing is very choppy and looks very effective.
This next video is shot by Fred Mortagne and is a video of American band called Schwervon! The song its self is very distorted but the filming style and editing reflect this very well, the film is very distorted and feels disjointed and slightly creepy, Mortagne captures this very well in his film, he has a great way of portraying feelings and emotions through shots, without the aid of narration. This is something i would like to emulate.
