Filmed on the North Shore during peak winter season with the Vans Surf Team, this film features footage originally captured for The Vans Triple Crown. After digging through unused clips, we decided to create a story that celebrates the Hawaiian locals, the North Shore, and the diverse Vans Surf Team.
I creatively directed the storyline, collaborated with the editor, led interviews, directed the score, and designed the branding animations and title cards for the film.
The Short Film:
Music Score: George Trimm
Branding
The branding title cards and color palette for this short film draws strong inspiration from the weathered graphics found around the North Shore—sun-bleached posters scattered across the island, their colors fading and inks bleeding after years of exposure to the elements.
