Quadratmeterboy, a creative skateboarding video by user The Cleptomanicx, otherwise known as Dennis Stocker, has placed second in this year’s German-based website Titus’s Strange-O-Mania video competition.
The quirky stop motion video takes place at night in a quiet town filled with a Starbucks look-alike called Kandiebucks Coffee, watchful vegetables, dancing animals and graffiti smiley faces. As the creator skates through the grungy neighbourhood, past morphing bears and humping deer, viewers can see the spectacular amount of attention that is placed into the making of this video, which Dennis Stocker makes available in a special behind-the-scenes video. The level of commitment displayed in this labor-intensive video is a worthy winner for the contest.
Titus, which has been active for over 30 years, is a great site devoted to skateboarding enthusiasts and offers a variety of inclusive brand name apparel for men, women and children.
