Tokyoyola: Traffic Tears Through Tokyo

This article from the January 2009 issue of Skateboarder covers a Traffic Skateboards tour that the team took to really explore & skate the city. The goal of this trip was to film a short video of their time there, which became the Tokyo Transfer promo. It's short but sweet, and features some great Rich Adler clips (who also wrote the article). Photos by Nobuo Iseki.

Cinematographer: Dan Wolfe & Eastern Exposure 3

The Cinematographer section for the February 2008 issue of Skateboarder features Dan Wolfe talking about the skate video that launched his career as a videographer, Eastern Exposure 3.  Words by Keir Johnson.

He was right about indie productions never completely dying; I'm writing this post hours after two new local Twin Cities videos premiered at the opening of After Hours Skateshop.
