Two posts in one day, haha, I am feeling the pressure. So I have done the first minute today. It's taken me about 5 hours. It's all the split screen and the colouring and stuff. Lining up shots and getting the timing correct is very hard work.
Putting it up because I dont want to do an entire section and someone say to me that they dont like it. I would kill them.Oh yeah and I haven't done too much with sound levels yet so sorry about that.

This is the rough cut for SS20 and the Corby section, filmed at the Adrenaline Alley. I am pleased with it. Took a bit longer than the first one (London) I am not a massive fan of vert skating but it is the favourite of the two with the group, with new understanding of why. Answers on a postcard.
This one, I would say is slightly rougher than London but then again I was luckier with the footage from there as it needed less work, ho hum, noone said it would be easy.
Music is by Jet Pilot Audio and you can find a link to their myspace just to the side so if you are interested in hearing more from them check that out.
We have started shooting our Coventry / Kong footage. Got some great stuff, those guys have some real talented skaters on their hands and hopefully they and Kong themselves will go far in the future.
The sound piece should hopefully be done tomorrow, and I hope to see some footage by the end of the week. Once everything is shot I think I will post up the film format for those of you who are interested in seeing how the film will flow.
All in all the film is feel really positive, and we feel positive that we can make inspire and entertain those who do skateboard and to inform and educate those who dont, about the ways in which skateboarding has affected those who do, and try and express skateboarding more as an artfrom rather than as a means of annoying people in towns.
We need to distinguish the difference between skateboarders, those who cause trouble and never have a true feel for what skating is and those that have done it for years that live skateboarding, we also want to show the whole array of opinions have about skateboarding and also express how graffiti is a part of skateboarding and how there are two sides of graffiti, those that simply tag their names and those that create works of art legally.
I met up with DJ Addiction (www.myspace.com/djaddictionswerve), a massive name in the drum'n'bass business, who has hooked us up with the Kong skate team to film in Coventry next week. He's been a massive help in the production of this video so far and we'll discuss any tunes of his that we can use in the film closer to the time.
Also, I have spoken to one of Leed's hottest new, up-and-coming drum'n'bass producers, SMS (www.myspace.com/smsslacman), who seems keen to take part in the video. His fresh and unique, vibrant sound should suit the video well, we just have to watch out for any uncleared samples that might get us in trouble!
