Do you think that the Segway makes you look like a dork? Well, the folks over in Japan probably think so, if not why would they take the effort to come up with a motorized skateboard? Sure, you won’t be able compete in any X-games with this, but all you have to do is lean forward, and the skateboard will happily move along at a lightning pace of 6mph. Apparently it still costs a pretty penny at the moment, as the creators of this are trying to lower the asking price of it to about $1,000 by the time it’s released in 2013. Are you wondering whether it’ll be a Segway killer? Original Post…

Shot in one continuous take (#40 to be exact) this is an amazing advertisement for the Johnnie Walker brand and the “Keep Walking” slogan.

“Times” is a self-contained short-clip by Isenseven and at the same time the last part of the upcoming full-length movie “Let’s Go Get Lost”. As this clip will be edited slightly different in the final movie, we decided to publish this original version online already now.

This clip contains a collection of footage we gathered throughout the season and during the summer days in our hometown Munich as well as in Berlin, New York, Tokyo, Bejing, Portland, Barcelona and many other places.
We like to thank all of our close friends for a great year 2009 and especially thank those guys for riding their skateboards for us: Conny Mirbach, Christopher Geyer, Jonas Rosenbauer, Michael Von Fintel, Christoph Friedmann, Dennis Gläser, Timo Kavermann, Mack McKelton, Gunes Ozdogan, Marcus Sweeney, Philipp Schuster and John Zelehoski.
