Oh hey! Robjn here…
So last June, Kevin and the Sandbox crew hired me to direct this intro to their current movie “Time Well Wasted”. Maybe you’ve seen this concept used before and maybe you haven’t, but you definitely haven’t seen it used this exhaustively and to such a dynamic extent and with a shirtless Geeves. Filming took up the entire month and everyone involved pulled their shit together like when you’re driving home after a few drinks and (suddenly!) you end up face to face with an Officer of the Law at a roadblock or, perhaps, the scene of your accident.
Either way, it was recently awarded “Best Video Opener” by the kind and good looking people of Future Snowboard Magazine. Since there are no credits for it, here’s a quick rundown:
Produced by Sandbox Films (Kevin Sansalone)
Directed by me (Robjn Taylor)
Edited by Clayton Larsen
Technical Assistance by Brian Hockenstein
Some Invaluable Help from Eric Weber, Johnny Fats, Matthew Morgan, all the riders (obviously), and friends.
The song is called Birdsong, and it’s performed by The Golden Dogs.
Enjoy and so forth!
Robjn.

It’s nice, but it’s a shame it’s a blatant rip off of Si & Ad’s work
