Ep.208- William Strobeck
Full episode on the Living Proof Patreon. William Strobeck for Living Proof Radio. Through decades of work behind a camera, William Strobeck’s auteurship and taste has been massively influential in shaping the look of today’s era of skateboarding.Strobeck was born in Syracuse, New York, and moved to Philadelphia as a teenager, where he skated and filmed at the legendary Love Park. Within a few years, he began working with Alien Workshop filming for Photosynthesis (2000), and moved to New York City shortly afterwards. Becoming immersed in the city’s downtown scene, Strobeck would continue his work in filmmaking, and was eventually brought on board by Supreme for their full-length video, Cherry (2014). Strobeck featured a number of young skaters he had been filming with in New York, introducing the world to a new generation of stars including Tyshawn Jones, Sage Elsesser, Sean Pablo, Aiden Mackey, Ben Kadow, Nakel Smith and Kevin Bradley. The release of Cherry is looked back on as a major turning point within skate-culture, and marked a noticeable change in skate videos moving forward. Filmers everywhere would soon mimic his signature style of cinematography, use of B-roll footage, and eclectic soundtracking in their videos.Today, Strobeck continues to film for Supreme, and in October of 2021 he founded Violet, his own skateboard company with a team comprised of Troy Gipson, Kader Sylla, Efron Danzig, Patrick O’Mara, Mike Ward, Joseph Campos, Kris Brown, Kyle Teh, Auguste Bouznad, Jax Effs and Seven Strong.http://patreon.com/livingproofnewyorkhttp://livingproofnewyork.com
