An inspiring video shot completely on Super 8 film from some of my favorite influencers in the cycling industry. The video was written and produced by the man, the myth, the legend Ronnie Romance Jr., who I was lucky enough to see in action at the 2017 Philadelphia Bike Expo during his captivating presentation of “The bicycle, a vehicular philosophy of simplification and meditation for the modern world”, cinematography was handled by the talented Sandy Carson whose new photo book looks amazing and the video was, in part, sponsored by No.1 bicycle blog, The Radavist. A fantastic journey with the perfect amount of undertone and introspection.

Inspiration: Goldwin x Geoff McFetridge

in , ,

Geoff McFetridge is one of my all time favorite artists and this video by Goldwin is a beautifully strung together series of clips showing how seamless the transition between art and casual sport can be. Looking at sport as an artistic expression is something that has interested me since I first picked up a skateboard in elementary school. This relationship is something that I intend on taking a much closer look at in 2019.

This makes me feel all warm and tingly inside.

As we rapidly slip into a purely digital age it's nice to remember where it all started and why it is so great. Thank you so much for all the amazing comments, posts and shares. -- -- Created By - Robert Marshall Email - robert@roundonefilms.co.uk www.roundonefilms.co.uk

Inspiration: Master of Camera

"The analog is always fascinating because we all want the surprise."

Gian Luigi Carminati is a passionate and poetic 76 years old man who spent his entire life repairing cameras. In his small workshop in Milan he takes care of old cameras with just a set of screwdrivers and a lot of patience. We spotted his workshop randomly, we just passed by his shop and we got curious since we saw so many old cameras on display. We got the chance to spend some time with him and he was happy to share with us topics like why the analog is still better than the digital, his 60 years old long relationship with photography and how technology shaped the approach to this art. Gian Luigi was happy to share with us lots of memories about his life and his job. We got immediately fascinated by his words and we decided to make a video with a ‘poetic touch’, that is keeping the poetry of his words and shop intact. His analog way of life is so inspiring. He doesn’t have a website, doesn’t use a mobile phone, his store doesn’t have a proper sign and he’s never advertised his activity. His only advertising is the word of mouth. And his business is very solid. Thanks to him we have realized that living the analog way is much easer than we think. And, with no doubt, it is the key to happiness. His work is very difficult and there is no software, no internet page, no company training that can give to an individual such an expertise as Gian Luigi’s. This is not a job: it is a passion that changes a man’s life and gives him a lot of joy even by mentioning it. We love capturing this sort of spirit and we felt that Gian Luigi has inspired us in so many ways. We were deeply touched by these thoughts about photography coming from a self described ‘technician’ instead of a photographer. With this two minutes video we had the ambition to tell his life through his memories.
