Can I sleep yet.. please?????

I am 6 days deep into a non stop edit to get this project done for RedBull Germany. I just had the correct translations done for one of the kids in the piece. My German is not that perfect... yet! He spoke so fast in certain parts even slowing it done to 'Charlie Brown' speed did not help.

This is my break before I set forward and finish the whole project all out. It goes in the mail on Friday and I focus all my energy back to the PITCREW video. The video from Change Of Guard will be online next week for the world to see.

Back to the final stretch... 6 days... 14 hours on each everyday... it will be all over tomorrow.

I can't wait to catch up on the new season of 'The Office' after I am finished...

back to work.....

T-Mobile Extreme Trainwreck...

I was at the T-Mobile Extreme Playground Pro contest this weekend in Berlin and it was a train wreck to me. I was the guest Press Member at the event and was shocked to how some of the contest was run. Dave Duncan and the crew handled there business as always but the staff the Veldrom had showed why people who don't understand skateboarding should not work at skateboarding events. I guess when a person with a press pass or an athlete pass comes through.. don't believe them at first.

With an Access All Areas pass (thanks to people skating in the event hooking it up) I was given a ton of hassle still. I was not allowed to go on the floor the second day with the press pass but a 9 year old girl with a video camera was. I guess her myspace page is going to blow up after the event! seriously people... i don't get the stupidity sometimes...

I was also amazed at the cameramen from MTV Germany. Some of the worst angles I have ever seen. It was an 'Extreme Sports' event so tilting the camera all around and making you feel like you were drunk watching the TV was a must I guess. It seems all the 'real' cameramen I have some across at live sporting events are just idiots... I am not saying all of them but the large percentage are.

After finishing an interview out of the event, the door people would not let Alex Mizurov (who won the street contest) and myself re-enter. He had the check and award in his hand too... It took one of the people throwing the event to check her. I could not believe how serious this girl took her job. I was blown away...

The contest was cool overall. Tom Penny was there!!! Enough said... I got to see all the vert kids and had a good time minus the staff working at the venue.

Now back to importing a ton of footage from the last 6 days. New videos to come soon.. and the PITCREW video is still in the works! I have not forgotten about it.

Until the next rant and rave...

Change of Guard

This week is going to be a little crazy from the sounds. I am working with Jürgen Horrwarth on an event he is throwing called 'Change of Guard'. It will be a lock-in at Jürgen ramp here in Berlin. Included in the shoot will be Renton Millar, Sandro Dias, and PLG. I am excited to see Pierre again.It has been since the Osiris video, 'Subject to Change', that I have worked with him. We were out 4 days a week on the mission for his part in the video.

The T-Mobile Playground contest is happening here in Berlin on the weekend too. Ronnie Creager and Tom Penny will be there... What a week!!! Lets hope for good weather that Monday and get these guys to the Kulturforum for a session afterwards!

Back to the music hunt again... I need stuff for the PITCREW video.

Check in later this week....

Back to Business....

So things never stop as a videographer. After the super fun premiere in Hamburg this last weekend, I am back in Berlin on the mission to get my article for the December 'Limited' Mag done. I am shooting a piece about my move to Berlin. I have some rad sequences already for it. One more and I am done already... Not too bad off the mission. Today was a great session with the guys. 6 sequences in 2 hours of some tech stuff. Lets say my week is in the bonus from here on out.

Next week is a Redbull shoot for a project Jürgen Horrwarth is putting together. It should be sick. Pierre Luc Gagnon, Renton Millar, Sandro Dias, and some ill new euro vert rippers will be there. A lock-in at an amazing park and an overnight vert session with some amazing skaters.. not too shabby I think. The project will be done at the end of the month.

The new PITCREW video is still in the works. I am headin back to the US soon but i need to make the HD money before I come back. It is time to upgrade the gear over the holidays.

Check in complete...check out of the blog in progress. photos coming later this week...

Hope everyone had a great Octoberfest (which ends on Sunday).
To all the Americans, Oktoberfest does not go the whole month long and you don't drink Miller or Coors Light for it. Just a reminder.

Thanks to everyone who took 5 minutes to read my full thoughts in 1/2 sentences.
Until next time...
