Droid is Worth Every Penny

It’s been a spell since we were gifted an edit from Riley Blakeway. Kid’s been tied-up working on an as-yet untitled project that’ll thrill you to the bone. But amidst the red-eye flights and long days spent searching for the best vantage point, Riley did have time to slice together three sessions he filmed with Andrew ‘Droid’ Doheny during his travels. In an era saturated by two minute edits, it’s amazingly refreshing to see an edit of this quality. “The footage of droid in trunks is from Nicaragua,” says Riley, “and the rest is a session in Oz and one session out trestles. The intro is an iPhone recording Droid made whilst a AAA guy pulled him out of a jam. The guy was pretty candid so I asked droid to record him whilst I shot Super8. He emailed me the file a month later and I was so jazzed on the voice recording. The guy saying ‘I do a lot of amateur photography and film.’ Droid’s rad to work with because he has a lot of good ideas and is down to do whatever to make a cool clip. He’s always been a fav.”
