Liquid Pixel 3 is the work of skater and film maker Morgan Campbell and is a
very complete and well put together package. One of the things that I noticed
which makes it stand out from a lot of other features I've seen is the simple
fact that Morgan has put a lot of time and effort into the production of the
disc, other than simply get a stack of shots and chucked some music behind it.
You'll shake your head at that, because of course there are guys hitting up
spots with music, however there is an overall feeling and flow to the disc
that you feel as soon as you start it up. From the animated intro to the
unique menu system, it's a production that goes a bit further than a lot of
features, even your main feature films, much to its credit.
Folks should be stoked on the fact that Campbell takes the time to progress
the feature in a way that makes you feel as though you are on the trip with
them. Especially considering the fact that there is a lot of travelling done
in Australia and spots that most viewers should be familiar with are featured.
In terms of value for money which might sound stupid when talking about a DVD,
this is simply put the best disc that I've ever been lucky to watch in terms
of extras on a skate DVD, possibly any DVD that is only a single disc release
for that matter.
I
loved the fact that this was so clearly an Australian feature with some
Australian hip hop breaking it's way through on the soundtrack front. Viewers
will be so stoked with the fact that there is a damn lot of footage of parks
to see and chances are that you will know some of them with these guys tearing
them apart. The disc is essential viewing and everything about the disc
screams out that a lot of work was put into it. From the point you open the
disc and read the contents of the slick that give you a break down on some of
the animation right through to a detailed description of the extras, you know
that you are in for something special.
The
quality of the audio and visual is sweet as well and just adds to an overall
incredible package. I really do recommend this disc and give a shout out to
Morgan Campbell for an absolutely wonderful DVD. He's now skating from Premium
so get behind him as the new deck graphic is sweet as is the board itself.
DVD
the way it should be. Thanks Stomp! |
