That was a documentary that my friend Rhys filmed about his partner Hannah circumnavigating the Welsh coast with a donkey. Weren’t you involved in making a documentary about a donkey recently? Was it easier to work with a donkey than a skateboarder? My day-to-day ‘work’ can be anything – it’s surprisingly varied and, to answer the initial question, yes, I was editing footage of Melvyn when you called. The skate stuff has always been an outlet for me really, rather than bread and butter work but it keeps me out of trouble, allows me to meet some great people and gives me an outlet for all my silly ideas so I don’t go too mad. Fortunately I met a lady called Lucia through doing a job with Pete King, who seems happy to keep employing me to edit various arts and film-related video things, which have been on the increase in recent years and are keeping me in lattes. Well I do get to do skate stuff in a job capacity sometimes, although not so much recently. Joking aside, you were actually editing Melvyn Bragg footage the other day when we spoke, weren’t you? Is this what you actually get up to on an average working day? Sorry, I appear to have dropped a load of names around here. I’m done with Melvyn but I’ve got to re-cut Jerry Bruckheimer now… Go pick up a copy – you won’t regret it.įirst of all Andrew, what the fuck is a BAFTA award winner doing wasting his time filming idiots pissing around on skateboards? Haven’t you got Melvyn Bragg footage to edit? #Mas medical staffing for free#Just in Time is available for free through Power Distribution via your local skate store or at selected Vans outlets across the UK. We caught up with Andy following the release of his latest video ‘Just in Time’ to discuss Claus Grabke, shape-shifting celebrities, hanging out with PLG and the fact that he has a BAFTA because we assumed that the results would be amusing. Whether it’s recreating inter-galactic D3’s, resurrecting the careers of 80’s German vert pros or repeatedly using a time travel trope to gently make fun of everything and everyone – nobody needs to be told they’re watching one of his videos because quite frankly, there is nothing else like an Andy Evans video. Andy Evans has been making UK skateboard videos for a very long time now and with each release, his approach to taking the piss out of the overly serious skateboard universe, (whilst simultaneously foregrounding some of the country’s most talented skaters), has evolved into something truly unique.
