Ground Glass: Austyn Gillette

Yes, we are well aware that Austyn has already filmed in 16mm a lot in the past, but we didn’t care. His flair and spot selection lend themselves extremely well to the saturated textures of film, so we’re not complaining here. Settle in and get ready to watch some ultra-crispy skating caught on technology invented in 1923, because we know you won’t be disappointed.

When your style is so good even the basics look incredible

[@ZZZ-0999]

That's why Quality is more important than Quantity.

[@protestthisyouloser1093]

That’s where style is always located

[@ororion]

Such a smooth and iconic style. Very impressed. “less is more”

[@artemface]

this is the most enjoyable skate edit Ive seen this year, I loved watching this so much, so pleasant

[@wegothefunk]

Each clip is filmed in a way that brings you to that moment. Those little slices of a day on the session where you land your truck, you’re right there in the moment and nothing else matters.

[@salseibohne]

Don't need no 16 stair bangers, this is art

[@johneapleseed6876]

Yeah too bad it's 2022 tho. Art is dead AF.

Yes it was very gender neutral, I'm glad he is transitioning. My guess is he likes a generous helping of soy milk in his tea.

[@jeremylamovsky3669]

@@Hoodinator17 skateboarding is trying so hard to be woke it's horrible. I didn't have a problem with trans and gay people skating until I was basically told I did. And as punishment I've got to watch people who aren't even as good as me getting pro sponsors for the sake of being different

[@EnoffSayd]

I feel like the sound never gets enough credit in these 16mm videos so yeah nice work on the sound design/editing!

[@robmckiernan3264]

I was wondering this, I'm assuming all the sound is put on there when editing? Guessing these cameras don't have great (any?) sound?

[@EnoffSayd]

@@robmckiernan3264 Yeah I'm guessing they used microphones that they hid out of frame which go to an external recorder, as well as potentially using sounds from a library, I'm leaning more towards the library but there are some moments that are very specific like 2:18 when he rolls off and then over the cracks, either that's the actual audio of that trick being done or it's some really well thought out sound design with library sounds.

[@timethemonkeysurgeon7979]

​@@EnoffSayd and either way, lining up the real time sounds with slo-mo footage seamlessly was super impressive

[@donnieka696]

@@timethemonkeysurgeon7979 Or they mic'd up Austyn, or they could have had another filmer standing behind the guy with the 16mm camera to get higher quality audio/video from the same point of view, and then it's a matter of extracting the audio, syncing it with the 16mm video and changing the pitch to make it seems like it's real time instead of slo-mo...

[@mistahfabb2064]

There are a handful of 16mm cameras that have microphones but I’m not sure how the sound is recorded. But all in all the sound however they did it was fantastic

[@niils9584]

Enjoyed it a bunch, Austyn is the man. I don't know why some people are complaining. The video is chill as fuck, it is like he is just cruising around and having fun, just like skating is supposed to be. This is so much more enjoyable than let's say a primitive video, go Austyn, this shit is great!

[@Mordorer]

No one’s complaining bud.

[@niils9584]

@@Mordorer when this video was freshly uploaded and had 20 comments some people were complaining about it being too artsy. Now there are a lot more positive comments.

[@therootofjesse286]

Couldn’t agree more

[@maxvoitech]

welp,, lot of people are into so called "shotgun editing" pioneered by Zero if i remember corectly - 2-3 second clips(rails usually) stitched together over fast paced punk rock in endless barrage. & it makes only sense that for those people more laid back/chill edits seem too slow :)

[@niils9584]

@@maxvoitech Yeah I think so too. I mean I like it if its well made put in all honesty I am kind of sick of it for the most part because it is the same thing over and over again and it has been for years.

[@AbandonedRaven]

The nollie 360 up the steps was sick.

[@UppingDowners]

Right the front pop first too just dope

[@Jimberley]

Everything he does is pretty sick.

[@DanozDirectional]

Love the way this was filmed and put together. Masterful. Thanks for this

[@kevinjohnthomson]

Beautiful stuff. This stands out amongst the relentless barrage of skate videos being released every day. More of this please.

The style of the skating and editing were a perfect compliment. I very much enjoyed this video.

just beautiful, this is what skateboarding represents to me, don't try to be the best, just be yourself the best way possible! thank you austyn

[@ryleyrobicheau2915]

damn what a summary of skateboard

[@yelnickmcwawa5858]

Except Austyn is the best but I agree

[@JonasPolsky]

Elijah Berle switched up his style four times while watching this part.

[@diegue666]

Thank you Austyn, once again.

[@ehliogomme]

one of my favorite series ever, love everything about these videos

[@mikesutch2333]

So beautiful. It’s worth noting he’s probably not trying anything crazy because 16mm film is super expensive to shoot, digital is way cheaper but it just isn’t the same

[@TenMinuteMindfulness]

I’ve watched this at least twice a day for the last few days..it’s just perfect.

[@nastynoles7946]

I could seriously watch an hour of this

How on earth is the coolest skateboard clip I've seen all year. Something about this rocks like nothing else.

[@UppingDowners]

This was soo calming to watch loved this style and music 🎉

[@espectroracional]

Austyn's basic tricks look so much nicer and way more glamorous than those super high technical tricks i see on IG. Dude's got real art flowing in his vains.

[@soyprest]

what a piece of art, from his skating to the non slowed sfx over slowed images, every detail is perfect

[@TheXIAOone]

Lovely little piece. Beautiful.

[@jstolls1726]

From the start… switch back 180 up the stairs… yup, dude’s got style for days. It’s crazy how the first trick tells you how the whole part is gonna go down, but it did. Pure joy to watch! 👏
