Canvas: The Skateboarding Documentary Globe 1998, 38 minutes Current Rating: 3 out of 5 stars Canvas is another video in the often under-appreciated realm of skateboarding documentaries. This one follows the Globe shoes team (and friends) on a 1998 Australian tour. Canvas gives the viewer a rare glimpse in to the minds of a diverse group of skateboarders with extensive interviews and behind the scene footage. August 06, 2002 Surprisingly, a shoe company has taken the unsteady reigns of attempting to document skateboarding, but focusing more so on the individuals who make it. Canvas had my votes because it showed footage of Guy Mariano, but on the other hand, I was nearly bored to death with some of the commentary on the tape. More specifically, dribble and filler of some of the most inane subjects and very randomly placed. One minute, I was watching Gershon kill a mini ramp and next minute Rodney Mullen was speaking about his fear of popularity. Whether this video was supposed to maintain a Dateline NBC feel is undecided, but what is for sure is that there seemed to be no aim to this video. Couldnt B. Happier May 03, 2003 Globe's first video is an ambitious venture. Canvas has the feel of a badly edited M.T.V. news report. The skateboarding is very sparse. Only two short montages are included, both of which imitate the cameos often associated with a Girl video. There is also a lack of music in this film with the exception of a few ambient songs in the background. If you enjoy listening to a few skaters (Rodney Mullen, Mike York, and Gershon Mosely) ramble on in a very insecure fashion, then you might enjoy Canvas. Still, it drags on and on with no real story or point. So if you enjoy documentary style skate videos, you might want to give this one a try. But if you want to see skateboarding, look elsewhere.
