今年春夏，Carhartt WIP 迎來了年度滑板影片《PRECIOUS》，由巴黎導演 Joaquim Bayle製作，並由多位品牌滑板成員參與了拍攝。
本影片延續品牌於 2022 發佈、同樣由 Bayle 執導的滑板企劃長片《INSIDE OUT》。《PRECIOUS》影片時長約 15 分鐘，多位 Carhartt WIP 品牌滑手穿梭於洛杉磯郊區和紐約繁忙街道之間，並從旅程中深度探索更多美國本土的滑板文化。
企劃的命名源自於在影片中所呈示的技巧、而又艱辛的 拍攝過程。Bayle 表示 ：「現在我對滑板有了更深入的了解，我想表達對於它既具顛覆性而充滿詩意的形式致敬」 ，正是他口中「在剛開始滑板時所擁有的珍貴感覺，但隨著年齡增長，這種感覺也逐漸被遺忘了。」
為了充份演繹這種感覺，他採用更為多元感官的拍攝手法 ; 此起彼落的快門聲、黑白攝影所帶出既溫暖又模糊的影像 ; 寧靜的時刻被石路上輪子滑過的聲音劃過打斷 ; 柔和的口述
旁白在重金屬和合成器音樂的背景配樂中縈繞。
本次滑板片拍攝除了有知名攝影師 Romain Batard 的回歸， Trevor Owens 和 Ryan Mettz 亦共同參與記錄了 Noah Mahieu、Eddie Cernicky、Max Palmer、Riley Pavey、Ibu Sanyang 、Willow Voges Fernandes 和 Cambryan Sedlick 等滑手們的美國之旅。
影片即將在 1 月中開始於全球多個地區舉行首映活動，1/26 將於 Carhartt WIP 台北旗艦店放映 ; 公開版本將在 1 月 31 日於官方 Youtube 頻道發佈，並同時發售限定產品，敬請期待！
