I recently helped out good friend, citizen of Bray, Co.Wicklow and cinematographer of epic proportions Phil Evans with his Format Perspective documentary.

Bankrolled by clothing brand Carhartt, Format Perspective is a 1 hour documentary and extremely sexy coffee table book about the work, life, motivation, visual style and of 6 skateboard photographers from various parts of Europe, ranging from the pro-am enthusiast to the magazine editor to the fine artist to the team manager and everything in between. It’s shot entirely on Super 8 movie film and made with bits of real panther, so you know it’s good.

My minor role once Phil hit the edit suite was to give pep talks, act as a motivational coach, tech support goon & general all-round legend and author the DVD, which was fun. The finished book is well crafted and bound, and most importantly, features a shitton of images created by the photographers over the course of the film – pick up a copy for yourself at formatperspective.com and your life will be complete.
