History of Skateboarding

Motion Design

Intro

The opening for a program on OFF about the history of skateboarding and its greatest legends. Skate footage is framed as worn 8mm film and cut with glitch and noise transitions, while short lines of type, "80 years of history" and "the greatest legends of skateboarding", lead to a 3D title set into a concrete skate spot.
