The Best Parts

To this point, along this whole journey my favorite experience has been the realization that Im not just another guy filming skateboarding and making little videos of my friends. Im not knocking the people who do it, but I have always wanted more than that. Some people skate because they love to do it and they dont ever look or even care about being sponsored by a company. There are also people who make all kinds of films just for the sake of doing it. Im not one of those people. I enjoy being a sponsored skateboarder and some day Im going to enjoy being paid to make films. Im developing my eye for framing and gaining experience for projects and ideas later. Ive always told kids that the more time you spend on a skateboard the better you will get at it. Its something I believe in as much as anything else in this world. You dont have to be a natural painter to create a master piece. I dont have a natural eye for framing a shot, but Im working on it and Im getting better. Every minute filming with my camera is as good as every minute I have been riding my skateboard.
