Film Video Game 2025
Drop In
Directed by The Sacred Egg
Insight
There's an identity, langauge and world that's unique to skateboarding that's impossible to fake.
Idea
Blur the lines between real skate footage and in-game physics combine absurdity of the game with it's authentic roots in skate culture.
Execution
A film shot by skateboard cinematographers that features legendary and street-cast local skaters, mixing practical stunts with VFX to transitions between the real world and the game.
Notes
Respect for their commitment to authenticity, it can’t be undersold how quickly the skating community will turn on posers. I also love that they managed to get EA to feature the much loved and memed flaws of the game, never easy to get a client to do that.
