Steve Crandall and the FBM crew are at it again with a new one called “Thousand Yard Stare”, which you can check a preview of by clicking below.

But first, some words from the Cran Man!

Some time ago, after various web edits, mixtapes, and road trip video’s, the FBM crew decided to embark on a journey towards our first full feature DVD in a long while…

Minus the equipment, the budget and the resource that many projects require, we relied solely on the character, creativity, and the sheer talent of the guys who make up FBM, and gave it a shot. No hype, no bells and whistles, and not likely to to appeal to the candy fed mainstream, we proudly put together this new video, featured in this preview.

These are the guys that make FBM so unique, It’s an honor to say I am a part of the group, and to be able to share this with everyone. For us, this is BMX, this is how we live it, and like they say, It’s like you are really seeing beyond, when you have been in the shit for so long, you get that look, the Thousand Yard Stare… Enjoy!

The other day LA musician Flying Lotus tweeted – “@flyinglotus Flying Lotus, please collaborate with David O’Reilly already /or something/.>>>> Been writing my movie with him, its happening.”

Although better known for his music, Flylo actually went to school for movie production before gaining fame as a music producer, and I got curious about who OReilly was. A quick google led to David OReilly’s The External World, a seventeen-minute (nsfw) absolute mind mess of an animation firmly grounded in the internet/globalized/videogame generation.

The animation premiered in Europe at the Venice film festival and in America at Sundance 2011, and in eight months it has received half a million views on Vimeo. I’m stoked that something so weird and left field is getting so many eyeballs. If you want to see more from the Irish, LA-based OReilly, check out his work on Vimeo or follow his entertaining tweets.

Here’s Daniel Johnson doing it for Division.

Additional filming: Rhys Yeomans and Marnold.

Brock Olive for Colony.

Out of the blue, it popped into my head that a re-up of Jeff Z’s Autophoto would be sweet. Between everyone who lives here now or comes through, this almost seems fitting.

Soooo… Just in case you missed it last year, here’s your chance to check out a great Long Beach themed Autophoto from Jeff Z. This was one of my favorites for sure.

Here’s 15 minutes of Dennis Enarson, Colin Mackay, Allan Cooke, Cory Nastazio and Ronnie Napolitan shredding in the UK. Good stuff.

Thanks to Allan Cooke and Terrell Gordy.

*deep breath* Here we go: a side-by-side video comparison test between a phone and a DSLR. Vimeo user Robino Films set up both ‘cameras’ as above, with the iPhone exposure-locked and the DSLR’s shutter speed, frame rate, exposure and picture style mirroring the phone as closely as possible. Click here for more details on how the test was conducted.

Considering the iPhone 4S features a f2.4 lens, and that third-party manufacturers keep developing more add-on lenses for the phone, it’s only inevitable that one day we just won’t be able to tell what the hell anything was shot on anymore. Hit the jump to watch the frightening but also liberating video.
