a bee day

After a week of stress, no skating, hair falling out, and various skin conditions, nothing has changed at all. There's been a lack of updates as of late, so I'm gonna lay it on you thick right now.

Assorted old cell phone pictures:

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BUY THIS VIDEO

Weekendtage is the greatest thing to ever happen to skateboarding on the internet, and now it's going full length. This is not the shitty new transworld video, digital production, little kid from SoCal video, Battle Commander, Extremely Sorry, or anything else you think is cool but I will call you lame for liking. This is RIP AND DIP. If you've never seen a weekendtage before, you are about to have your mind blown.

look down at your board and skate away

Totally new Skate Fairy production
Not sure how I feel about this... The GH2 looks pretty sick and I'm hyped to see another company finally make something that can compare to the video capabilities in the Canon dslr cameras. But along with the territory of using amazing cameras comes the issue over production. For Ty Evans this usually just means excessive slow motion and bad techno soundtrack choices, but this time he changes it up with painfully awkward directed lifestyle shots shown best at 5:08. Holy cow that was weird. But really, I am still excited to see what the upcoming Chocolate video end up looking like with the weird shit shown in the past few Ty clips.
Paul looks excited as well

One party montage. To get you stoked

Augie and Randall shred, I bleed, Rom sits next to me while I film, and Kesha makes music.
You can expect the bad tv effect to start turning up more often, and you can expect to see Randall's back disaster someday(but not today).

6 Days, 1 Dream

My longest video to date, "Week In The Life", is a four song, 3 part epic; telling the story of one group of dudes' quest to achieve radness. A.O. Scott of the New York Times calls it, "an astonishing tour de force, with a stong performance from Rom Swindell as boy in sun #1". Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune remarks, "young up and coming actor Moby Howeidy's go-to tricks aren't that gay".

TECH SPECS:
Canon T2i 550D
- EF-S 18-55mm (yes, the kit lens)
Canon HV30
- 43mm Opteka lens used for all fisheye shots


To accompany your Week In The Life video experience, I have a Flickr chock full of goodies
