About this video

"When Gravity and I Take a Day Off" is a short animation that merges the surreal logic of dreams with skateboarding. It imagines a brief moment where the rigid laws of reality take a pause, allowing movement to break free from the weight of the daily grind. To an observer, skateboarding often looks like an act of defying physics. Each trick pushes the limits of balance and control, turning movement into a precise choreography. In this piece, I take that idea literally by placing the skater in a dreamlike environment where these physical constraints loosen their grip and the familiar rules of the real world begin to dissolve.
