Stereo’s first video, A Visual Sound, is one of the first introductions of experimental art, film, and music in skateboard videos. The video is written, produced and directed by Jason Lee and Chris Pastras. Throughout the video, abstract and eclectic still frames and photos are intermingled with color and black and white footage of skating. Besides Mike Frazier’s vert contribution, the video is solely made of street skating with long lines of flip tricks, rails and slides on and over ledges, banks, curbs and stairs. The soundtrack is a pure jazz lineup from Ululation and Tommy Guerrero. "THE MAKING OF A VISUAL SOUND WAS ONE OF THOSE RARE, MAGICAL MOMENTS IN LIFE WHERE EVERYTHING FALLS INTO PLACE. FROM BEING IN SAN FRANCISCO WORKING WITH THE DELUXE CREW, TO MY FRIEND IN NYC GRACING US WITH HER DAD'S AMAZING MUSIC (ULULATION) WEEKS BEFORE THE EDITING... IT ALL JUST CLICKED. ENJOY!" - CHRIS "DUNE" PASTRAS "1994 - A Visual Sound ...They stuck their finger into the hole that Gonz had made for jazz music in skateboarding and ripped it wide open. Not only did they use jazz throughout the entire video, rather than just one section, but also incorporated classic jazz record aesthetics into their advertisements and board graphics." - Jenkem Magazine 0:00 Intro 2:18 Mike Daher 6:19 Carl Shipman 10:18 Matt Rodriguez 14:28 Mike Frazier 17:24 Chris Pastras 21:22 Greg Hunt 24:24 Jason Lee 29:01 Ethan Fowler 34:23 Credits
