Here’s the second installment of the Element documentary, Make it Count. Director Kirk Dianda followed Johnny Schillereff (Element founder & president) and dug into his history, interviewing the very people that have shaped his life and the company. Here’s the lowdown as told by director Dianda:

“The first incarnation of Element came in the form of a small collaborative, East Coast company called Underworld Element. Most often referred to as Underworld, the company was inspired by the hip-hop movement and used a mixture of urban styles and reflected a raw and controversial vibe.

Soon after its inception, Underworld was plagued with many challenges, and the business began to collapse. Its original crew had all moved on, and Johnny was left with two choices: either turn the struggling brand around, or abandon Underworld altogether and start something entirely new.”

Element is releasing a four part video documentary of their history, titled Make it Count. Each segment–appropriately designated as Wind, Water, Fire and Earth–is being released on the first day of the month. Part one, Wind was released on August 1st. Water just dropped on October 1st, and we’ll get to see Fire on November 1st followed by Earth on December 1st. Here’s a little bit about the project and Chapter 1 as described by the team at Element:

“MAKE IT COUNT is a four-part documentary, which showcases Element’s defining moments and delves into its compelling story. From its humble beginnings, to a forward thinking global brand, this film covers two decades of stories and imagery.

In creating Chapter 1 of 4, “WIND” Director Kirk Dianda followed Johnny Schillereff (Element founder & president) and dug into his history, interviewing the very people that have shaped his life and the company. The opening and closing sequences give you a small taste of the diverse community of people interviewed for the entire project, topics covered, and nostalgia that was un-earthed.”

I always loved the track Today Was a Good Day by Ice Cube. Except for the line about the Lakers beat the Supersonics. One way or the other, the song makes for a nice backing track to some fine skating by P-Rod (and friends) as he hits up some big-time L.A. spots.

Look for a couple of cameos in this clip, and a cleaned-up version of the lyrics (I’m assuming they used the radio edit ‘cuz this ain’t the track I have on mp3). And don’t forget to thanks Nike SB for the sweet footy by splurging for your own pair(s) of P-Rods.
