Longboarding SA - The Movie
ive ideas about longboarding docos and movies for a while now, but never really had the resources/manpower to actually put them into play, but i just wanna pitch this idea to the crew of SA.
Tthe hills around adelaide are beautiful, quiet and farkin great, very very easy to film on. the crew down there is growing as rapidly as the sport is, and stuff like this needs to be shown to the public, not only to further grow the sport but to help in aiding the downhill scene here in oz for future events, publicity and sponsorships for our organisations.
what i wanna do is take a couple of the best riders in OZ down to SA for 2 or 3 weeks and skate all the rad hills down there, doco style. The thing about shooting it down there is the best riders in OZ are from other states, like NSW and QLD, so for them to come down to SA and ride with a new and growing crew, and ride the best hills in OZ (yes they are the best) could make an awesome story. it could be a story of dudes from around AUS getting together in a new place to sample some of the unknown, hanging out with friends and really documenting the stoke that longboarding gives us. everyone would do an interview at the end of the trip pretty much explaining the whole trip and using those voice-overs to narrate the story, mixing it up with cool scenery and culture of the area.
I know things like this have been done before, or tried to be done, but there hasnt been something like this done PROPERLY in australia, and i think now is the time, and SA is the perfect place to do it. There are a bunch of us out there who are good with the cameras and really know how to shoot it properly, so if everyone gets together and really commits to this project and helps too this can be done. It would be a very low budget project shot on whatever cameras we have at our disposal (and i know if we all pool our resources we have more than enough cameras) so we dont need to go hire film crews and all that technical mumbo jumbo. It will be purely a movie about skaters shot entirely by skaters.
If anyone is with me raise your hand and say I

Mate that was by far the most random course of events EVER compiled into one video at any given time!! I enjoyed it alot though and have watched it 5 times to get some sort of meaning out of it. So far..... nothing. Camera works awesomely! Winnie is a true star, a natrual, a gem, a fly killing, pal muching, ball destroying.... STAR.

yeah, thought i'd upload it to show you the quality i can get out of the camera. so it doesn't mean anything to anyone, even me.
i didn't record it in HD, editing is basic (no decent effects or colouring) and its all done without a good tripod (which i recently just purchased). so in terms of equipment, we are set and its all very professional stuff especially with Jacko's rigs for on board action.
so i think we can safely say that this documentary will atleast look very professional... a few chopper shots would look good though.
and yes, winnie is a star. i have so much more footage of him. he's just so damn photogenic. -
