finished the video last night. no music though because of youtube...

lets get video making!

The last day we have to film is too windy to skate... great. looks like no new footy today but we might try something.

Did alot of skating today it was super nice except i forgot my camera. were going to skate alot tomorrow too though so we are going to get some footy then. Tomorrow night ill be putting it all together to make the video. Should be good... I hope.

Well even if I didnt have work today that whole snow thing would have gotten in the way of skating anyways. hopefully we get at least one more dry weekend before the snow starts. Ill miss skating but i would rather snowboard anyways. Its probably the best thing ever...

pretty much a throw away edit. i was just trying to make a video to get an idea of what i want the real one like.

I think i found a good editing system now so im about to try it out right now and see how it works.  we've been skating alot lately we found alot of spots and were probably going to do some last minute filming this weekend now.

Had work again today. no skating except for like 5 minutes before i had to go. Should be getting more stuff on Saturday after the rail jam. then work again Sunday. work along with the weather is making it a little difficult to find time to film stuff. i can fit skating in every once in a while but not enough time to go film. hopefully getting the video done soon. seems like its going to get put together last minute. only because were going to try and get all the footage we can. Next weeks going to be super filmy week... Here we go.

Skated a little more after school. its getting harder to get time to film when its getting dark earlier like this. Also im losing motivation to skate because im getting excited for snowboarding lately. Should have time to skate this weekend but i have a snowboard rail jam at Boyne Country sports so ill have my snowboarding fix satisfied for a while so i might be more into the skating.

Had a nice Halloween skate session on my quarter pipes out front. learned a couple new tricks on them. im not sure what it is about a bunch of people hanging around with a fire going but it deffinatly makes the skating more fun. we got some more footy the past couple days and i still haven't found a good way to post it. When i put it up im thinking about making one edit with music and just posting that on Facebook and have the other with no music and putting it on youtube unless i find a site that will let me leave the music by then.

I lied...

Possible song...
Another possible song...
Last possible song... for today...

I cant really pick one.

Skated some today. had to wait for the rain this morning. it wasnt really a big deal though we just went to Plus for a while. i finally got those new shoes ive needed since the middle of summer. We found a lot of new spots to skate at. Also ive been trying new ways to, film and i found a new way that looks really good and im going to try that angle for more of the filming.

No skating done today... or tomorrow thanks to work. (its okay though work funds it). so instead i spent some time finding a bunch of new music i really like. maybe a song idea for the video. gotta look for it though. by listening to all of it. also i thought of a cool thing to put together in my backyard off my porch to skate so maybe that will be happening this weekend. should be fun!

More filming went down today. got a couple more tricks but we need some new spots. I would much rather have it be snowing so i could go snowboard instead. getting a little tired of just skating. that's why i like Michigan because about the time im tired of one i get to start the other soon. Got a snowboarding rail jam this Saturday so it'll be good getting back to that.
Possible song #2

Today started out bad at the skate park but once we started filming at spots things got better and me and Zac both got some cool stuff. Jake and Caleb didnt get much (they were trying harder tricks because they hardcore rippers yo...). Couldn't try my little filming idea today, wasn't really thinking this rail would look good like that but maybe tomorrow. been trying some new stuff lately but its really hard to do when you can see straight through your shoes... today i even got my little brother coming to spots and skating with us. starting to like him now. (just kidding. I always have) that's all bye. Possible video song #1

got home from up north today. in the car on the way home i thought of a cool way to shoot some tricks on a rail. we should be skating tomorrow so ill try them out and maybe have a little more footage this week. going to be working hard on filming new things this week hopefully it will be a good video.

Up north for the weekend so no skating for a while. maybe such a long break will get me more excited to skate this week so i will do better. since theres no video of us skating you should all watch this guy skate because he is amazing. Also all the Berrics battle commander videos are giving me ideas for new ways to edit. im finding that fast tempo music with fast skating is the type of video i enjoy most. http://theberrics.com/battle-commander/jimmy-carlin.html

Feeling exhausted. not sure if its the weather or if its just me. Also i am not really getting anywhere with this editing system. maybe i will play on photoshop and make something cool for the video...

Forgot i made this on facebook. its the little group of people that we skate and snowboard with. its basically just drawings and weird videos. http://www.facebook.com/pages/TU-MADRE/121162381251326

This weather has been awful for skating lately. its either raining or its really windy either way its difficult to get out there and skate. but with the past couple days ive been trying to get more familiar with my editing system and how to post the videos. also ive been trying to think of new ways to edit the video to make it different from the rest i have made before.

ahhhhh

Its been so windy lately that its hard to skate when were at the park we have been filming more lately. we also have been planing on going to spots soon to film some other stuff. still trying to work on my editing system because its been saying its full so I've been trying to figure it out. My weeks have been super busy with school and lots of work lately. Also getting time when everyone can skate on the same day has been hard too. its actually pretty difficult planing a day to fit seven guy's schedules.

Finally got that edit done now that my computers working again. the video will probably be messed up if i post it on here again so there's a link... Im going to have to figure out how to fix the whole posting thing.

Had a good weekend of filming and skating. probably the most and best things we have filmed in a while. still working on thinking of song ideas for the final video. (suggestions anyone?) going to try to make another short edit of the things we filmed lately. hope its good... maybe it will be up soon.

Still working on filming the past couple days. Im starting to decide on a song to play along with the video. this is also sort of like setting a goal for yourself making the video. The song usually is the deciding factor of how you edit the video to make the song fit. i have also been watching a few skate videos from people that make fun but really cool skate videos and they are a large influence on what our video is going to look like.http://wiskate.com/template.php?page=video.php&PHPSESSID=f90af6a56f0968b0eb35c9142a9c95d5 check it!

Film day

Today we spent all day filming at spots. plan on making a short edit of it soon. learning tricks and filming them is sort of a small daffodil project itself. you set a goal (the trick you want filmed) and you work on it until you've landed it. then you get to film it and feel as if you've accomplished something you have wanted to for a while. just takes less time then a real daffodil project.

I am now realizing why it has been so difficult to make a video like this in the beginning. we all have made plans to go skate somewhere and film quite a few times since this project has started and we have not been able to follow those plans any of the times yet. we have made a short edit from the footage we have from before and i will try to post it.

How Ya'll Doin?
