Un Momentum Por Favor

Momenutm just released a new site, with their video "Un Momentum Por Favor" which I had worked on from 2007 - 2008 during my time in Vancouver, BC. Thinking back, all I had to do at that time was film skateboarding, then head to the bar! Momentum also gave me a fair amount of creative control, so I was able to conceptualize this video from start to finish instead of trying to match their idea's. Here was the trailer:



Watching this video brings back memories...
  • Corey Sheppard's intro was awesome, his idea and his plan.
  • Really enjoyed the making of the wheels intro's shot on a Panasonic DVX, right near Washington DC, then skating with Bobby Worrest for the weekend.
  • Trying my hand at some motion graphic with the Momentum Owl in the intro.
  • Editing Mike Barkers part. Dude has such an ill style, plus the song was awesome.
  • The friends section was just all my footage from the months on and off I was in Vancouver. Young Ryan Decenzo and Scott, plus all the homies.
  • Filming Keegan Sauder's part plus intro, dude is just awesome!
  • Magnus Hanson was always on the sesh, having a blast. Where you at dog, miss ya!
  • Nate Lacoste part was great to film and edit, with a good song (picked by Nate)
  • Lastly the compliment I received from Kenny Anderson on the video. It was such a compliment, when a skateboarder you respect tells you that the video you created was cool. Thanks Kenny!

    Check out the full length:

    Scott Decenzo Slashed

    I came across this photo of another angle of Scott Decenzo's frontside nosegrind on my computer, and I thought it really showed how nuts this spot really was for the RDS ad we shot a couple months back.

    Check out more Slashed!

    Jason Wakuzawa in the Giant Robot Interview!

    Wow, this turned out great!
    Originally I pitched a interview of good friend Jason Wakuzawa to Giant Robot Magazine. They liked all the photos, and the interview was the last to be done. But upon walking into his house to shoot final portraits, they turned to me, and asked me to be apart of the interview. What a pleasant surprise. Thanks soo much to Martin Wong and Giant Robot for everything you've done!

    Now, go out to your local Borders, Chapters, Barnes and Nobel or where ever, and buy this issue!
