More than likely it was shot on a VX-1000. this is still the workhorse camera for the skateboarding videos.Also if you go the the Girl Skateboards site you will see a few pix of the 1000 in action etc.

Yeah, I can tell you from experience, shooting skateboarding with an XL1 is a difficult task. The VX1000/2000 and GL1/2 are usually used with either a WA or Fisheye adapter slung on the front.

I got a 404 on that URL.

Yeah, that site went down, they probably got hit hard, you didn't even have to sign up to host a picture, just hit a button and it was on a server, heh.

Anyway, here I uploaded it somewhere else:

The chroma keyed skateboards in that video were shot on film, probably 8mm, but there was some 35mm in the intro of that video.

Yeah, the VX2000, GL2, VX1000....etc are pretty much standard for skateboard shooting.

article on my project!!!
 

Got a nice write-up in the SOURCE magazine that just dropped. the article is about my project and another DV project out of NY. 2 pics, one with me holding my baby (xl1-s). kinda small but nice. if anybody gets a chance it is on page 68!

Just great! Just on my wave length! :-)

It isn't online?

Simple and funny indeed! Good work!

Is this the only show date? Will it be available to rent say at Wonder Book and Video?

Bored Alex, episode 1, haha.
 

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-.../boredalex.jpg

Eh, don't use this terrible peice to judge my capabilities, heh. I was bored the other night and decided to do something to help with my boredem, and this is the result, it took about 10 minutes to "shoot" (be dumb) and like a hour for me to edit. Most likely if/when I do a public access show, the "bored alex" series will become a regular, heh.

I don't know how well this uber-stupidness will go with the "older" crowd, but I know my stupid little friends seem to love this stuff. Such replies from them as "omg rofl" "hahaha" "dude i luv ur movieZ!"...etc...etc

Sorry about the FTP, the guy that hosts stuff for me is gone, my ftp isn't all that slow though, about 50kb/s max, depending on your connection/where you are.

Oh yeah, I finally turned 15 today, well yesterday now.
