Share The Streets

I've always attributed my introduction to filmmaking to the skateboarding videos I made with my good friend Matt Webster. We grew up together in south Florida and got into skateboarding around the same time, quickly realizing people were documenting their skating and producing videos. Our first few videos were shot with Matt's father's old VHS video camera, shoulder mount style; and edited with two VCRs hooked up together to a TV. Over the years we upgraded cameras and moved on to non-linear editing on our computers. Our biggest production, Share The Streets, was completed in the summer of 2006. Shooting lasted roughly four years with Matt and I living in Orlando. We premiered the video at Cinema Paradiso in Ft. Lauderdale, it will definitely stay with me for the rest of my life.

Below is a segment from the video, the introduction.
