A hip-hop take on the bodyboarding culture, the 5-South Mixtape Experiment brings unusual editing and a non-traditional soundtrack to boogie videos--and some previously released footage.
This "Experiment" has "Mix"ed results. The editing is bodyboarding action specifically cut to the soundtrack--not a soundtrack matching the flavor of the bodyboarding. This is interesting, but it comes along with a dissapointing caveat--some of the bodyboarding footage has already been on the internet in clips on the 5-South website (for example, at least some the "Urban Bodyboarding" segment).
Using a lot of turntable mixing, the beginning of the video features seizure-inducing quick-cut editing. However, the editing changes with every different mixed track.
Despite the speed of the cutting slowing down in the video, the cuts remain far too quick.
When checking out the extra/bonus segment, it seems like there is a reason for the quick cuts: choppy panning. In the extra/bonus segment, more or less uncut waves are shown. Throughout many of the pans, there are slight jumps or abrubt slowing down. These jumps or abrupt decelerations in panning coincide with seizure-cuts in the video.
Either the video was shot purposefully choppy to aid in the editing process, or the editing was a creative effort to cover up bad pans.
Despite the some previously released footage, the appearance that there were limited amounts of sessions filmed to comprise the entirety of the work, and the really fast cuts (that often jump back and forth between different waves), the Experiment is interesting. It shouldn't be at the top of the list for bodyboarding video purchases, but deserves a look by people tired of the similar videos that are released from American bodyboarding companies year after year.
The Mixtape is more music video than surfing video--check it out if you are brave and looking for something new.

PERSONAL NOTE:
I am still sick, I hope to be back in the water in a week or two. New pics may come from this weekend. Stay safe everyone--DON'T SURF IN SCUMMY WATER!
