Palasonic

About This Movie

So, Palasonic is this skate video that dropped in late '17, and it’s really something else. Shot entirely on VHS, it has this gritty, retro feel that totally embraces the lo-fi aesthetic. The film spans about 40 minutes, showcasing the Palace skate team over seven years, which gives it a real sense of history and evolution in their style and technique. The pacing flows nicely, and you can feel the camaraderie among the skaters, like you're part of their journey. There’s an authenticity to the whole vibe—it's raw and genuine, not overly polished like so many modern skate films. It’s definitely a unique piece in the skate video genre.

Palasonic is a limited release that appeals to collectors due to its unique shooting style and nostalgic format. Finding it on VHS can be tricky, as it wasn't mass-produced, which adds to its allure among collectors. The film's distinctive aesthetic and the historical perspective it offers into the Palace skate team make it a notable piece in any skate video collection.
