Fully Flared
Encyclopedia
Fully Flared is a street skateboarding video by Lakai, directed by Ty Evans, Spike Jonze
and Cory Weincheque. In 2007, it won "Best video of the Year" at the Transworld Skateboarding
Awards, and Guy Mariano
won both "Best Street" and "Best Video Part" at the same event.
The video's release was postponed for about two years, mainly due to important team additions. Overall it took about four years to make.
Some team members had a lot of left over footage and are now planning to use it for other videos. Most of the video was filmed with Sony DCR-VX1000
cameras and Panasonic HVX200 (which Ty Evans gained access to towards the end of filming) high-definition
footage is used for second angles.

Originally, Evans, Jonze and Howard played with different ideas which were all a lot more dangerous. The intro was then filmed 3 weeks before the premiere.
