The Shape of Paris is More Than Just Skateboarding

Pro skater Andy Anderson (previously at Neatorama) is known for his work promoting skateboarding worldwide and for his emphasis on safety. In the video The Shape of Paris, he takes a tour of (duh) Paris. That description seems way too straightforward. He's very good at what he does, yet this is no mere skating video. Sure, Anderson is impressive, and finds infinite opportunities for complex tricks in the city, but besides that Paris has never looked so beautiful. Brett Novak's cinematography is off the charts and will make you want to book your tickets. There are aerial shots, looming architecture, and landscape vistas, but most of what you see is from ground level as if you are actually there. Even the rain cannot dampen the mood. The Shape of Paris not only appeals to skateboarding enthusiasts, but anyone who wants a beautiful and soothing look at Paris. -via Nag on the Lake
