Transworld Cinematographer Contest

I was fortunate enough to place in the top 10 finalists for the Transworld Skateboarding Cinematographer Contest that is being held on their Website. Big Thank You Transworld!!

I grew up watching Transworld videos to get inspired to go out and skate, but I would also watch them to get inspired to go out and film...

Anyways, the inspiration I have gotten from Transworld videos over the years is what motivated me to actually enter this contest in the first place. Check out the video and then head over to skateboarding.com and like the video through facebook.

I also posted this part from Transworld's newest video The Cinematographer's Project.
Judging by this, it should be quite the amazing video!!

Enjoy!

RED CAM SHOOT


So Back in September, I had the opportunity to film a short skate video with a RED Camera, Thanks Blooming Productions! We spent a rainy afternoon skating a box in a warehouse full of film gear, we had access to lights, a dolly, as well as a fog machine. Finding a dry spot on a rainy day to skate usually means a good time, and a smooth warehouse with a nice box is guaranteed fun.

BEHIND THE SCENES

B Dubs on a roll.

Lots of sun and time off lately, so I have been out and about, letting the computer collect dust, Lots of footage is piling up, and the clip-of-the-week site will be back up soon with weekly updates!

but in the meantime....

My buddy B dubs was telling me about this back alley pole jam he's got in mind.
I was excited to see what exactly the spot was and maybe film something on it.
As it turns out, it was a fence pole that had 'fallen down' and in the end, it proved to not be the sturdiest setup. Check it out....



B Dubs is killing it

Lately I haven't been skating that much, but it sure looks like B Dubs has been... Check this out!

Taking a Break From Skateboarding for a Moment...

Here's a project I worked on two weekends ago. Although it didn't turn out as outrageously funny as we thought it would be, we were all laughing hard the whole time while making it, and that was all that mattered in the end... Although the $15,000 first place prize would have been nice too...

4/20/2009



Two years in a row, the weather has been extremely nice on 4/20...



Spring is here, Go Skate & Enjoy the Sun!

Perseverance

You know when you have one of those days where everything just seems to fall into place. This was one of those days. The Bob Marley was jamming, the sun was shining, the skate spot was amazing, and everyone was feeling it.

Nic was feeling it so much that he set a new personal best for switch flips.
The final count after official review is 75.

Spring Has Sprung!



Here's little montage that was filmed on two separate visits to North Van. All these spots are real close to each other, and are super fun! Anyways, the nice weather is here, and Summer is just around the corner, so get out there and go for a cruise!
