Apocalypse Later, Surf Now
Most weekday mornings over breakfast I catch up on the surf related news and tweet about those items I think may be of interest to those who follow inkydeep on Twitter. Every now and again I find something that really stands out. The Daily Mail’s website today carried an article with a title that demanded to be looked at – “’Apocalypse Later, Surf Now’: Surfers ride out the end of the world in latest video to sweep the web”.
From the Daily Mail; “With the Mayan calendar counting down to the end of the world, plenty of us might wonder where we’d like to be on doomsday.
Imagined through the eyes of a fearless surfer, the scenario set the scene for an eerie video that’s sweeping the web.
Shot in Sunset Point, Los Angeles, ‘Apocalypse Later, Surf Now’, created with footage from a GoPro camera, uses visual effects to bring the world to a fiery end on the waves.
Set to a moody track called ‘The Whales’ by The Mermen, the two-minute clip opens with a dark scene as a surfer paddles through calm waters toward a cluster of oil rigs rising from the water like locusts.”
