Shot on RED: Skate and Create “Laikairomania”

We know flames look good on the RED camera (watch Beer + Hot Lava Rocks), but this Spike Jonze executively-produced video for Lakai is scorchingly gorgeous.

Soundtrack:
Ima Robot “Ruthless”
from Another Man’s Treasure download

A fitting follow-up to their explosive Fully Flared video (below), this flaming “LAKAIROMANIA” vid was created for the annual Transworld contest, Skate and Create. Skate teams are paired up with an art director and video crew for a chance at winning a coveted spot on the mag’s cover.
