"Memory Screen" is the debut skate video from Alien Workshop, showcasing their unconventional approach to skateboarding culture. This influential video features the team's first skaters: Rob Dyrdek, Duane Pitre, Neil Blender, Bo Turner, Steve Claar, Scott Conklin, John Pryor, and Thomas Morgan. It blends low-fi skate footage with abstract, non-skating segments, including quirky montages and stock footage, often filmed on Super8. The soundtrack, featuring J Mascis and Dinosaur Jr., complements its avant-garde style. "Memory Screen" is more of an art film than a typical skate video, reflecting Alien Workshop’s DIY, Ohio-based ethos. It’s credited with reshaping skate videos, pushing beyond traditional formats and influencing later projects. Though it’s light on skating, the video became a cult classic, establishing Alien Workshop as a major player in skate culture. This was Alien Workshop's first video, setting the stage for future groundbreaking releases like "Timecode" and "Photosynthesis".
