The Silhouette

In preparation for my .. uh.. movie (every video producer I know is "going to make a movie" someday... it's kind of a joke) I have been experimenting with a few shots. I want to develop a more artistic style of storytelling. Here is a short clip of a sunset shot I did the other day titled "The Silhouette". No story yet... although I have toyed with ideas that would include middle aged skaters, an unknown punk rock band, an aspiring artist, a small time movie producer... hmmm.

The best days are here!

I love composing all kinds of music. I like experimenting with different styles and attempting different feeling. I love skateboarding, I love springtime and I love working for myself / working from home. I also love making movies. There is a whole lot a love in this post (sans Zeppelin). Today was a double stoker with a mellow session in the morning and an all out ramp assult in the pm. Here is a vid from the morning.

NOTE: The file may take a few minutes to load. It's 90 megs. This was all shot in 1080p full HD. The file you will see has been scaled down but is still pretty high res. I am looking for ways to make HD small in file size. Sorry! :)

I can't change the world... but I can skate it!

It has been "the week of dental work". My head aches and I feel like I am chewing aluminum foil. Skateboarding might be the last thing on the list of things to do for someone in my condition, however, Skateboarding is a huge part of my well being. I want (need?) to skate daily.

I hauled my new camera out to the mini tonight and set up a few tripod shots. I am borrowing some inspiration from MC. Many skaters are artists. Skateboarding is in many ways a physical art-form.
The surface of the ramp is in bad shape. I was able to repair it enough to skate it but it skates slow. I am not complaining I am just glad to be skating.

Say You Will

I have been dragging my heals on posting my new song. It's not finished. I am trying to post a new song every week. As you know it has been a couple of weeks since my last song post so I have a little catching up to do.

Todays song is called "Say you will". "Say you will" reflects upon disagreement between humans. There is a tendency in all of us to get stuck on one perspective view then defend our stance to diminishing and dangerous returns. I wonder at times if people in general posses the ability to change their perspective. We have also been watching "Lost". To me "Lost" communicates a clear message; "He who is most fearful is most dangerous". Ah but I digress. "Say you will" was inspired by bits and pieces of different events of the past, some involving me I suppose. The underlying desire of the song is that people would refuse fear and learn to understand and accept each other. Maybe a game of musical shoes in in order.
