    I’m sorry I usually like this sort of thing and the skating was good. But I didn’t get the rest of it. it seemed like a lot of filler. like the girl? and the birds? jsut trying out your camera or what? good skating though

    Thats Houston TX for ya’ll who aint know. Chris and Jason have been killing shit for 12+ years here in Houston and its good to see them get some more exposure. Camera work was amazing Josh!

    Hey amish, it’s called art. Ever heard of it?

  9. b-mo Says:

    yea pretty much all camera/jib tests

  10. Robbins Says:

    amish, i think you missed the point of the edit…..

    this was brilliant

  11. bortoman Says:

    very nice work – this really is ART
    damn, i can’t wait to get out film again… great inspiration – thanks!

  12. BJ Wellsmore Says:

    nice – maybe a bit too much focus on that average girl…more skating, less of her…

    song pls?

  13. pudder Says:

    good cinematography and elements of montage. what did you shoot with?

  14. Chase Says:

    Thanks everyone. And Amish, this was a test I ran on my cpu to fix some workflow issues. It wasn’t supposed to be shown but it grew on me so I put it out for everyone to see, hence the randomness of the shots.

    Thanks for viewing and thanks for the support!

    ThinkBIG!!!!

    Amazing! Great Job, i really enjoy this film.

  16. Roussel Says:

    this was very visually pleasing.

  17. Jonas Says:

    One of the best edits, i´ve ever seen. Delicious!

  18. bdizzle Says:

    i want to fuck that girl. Whats her name?

  19. juju Says:

    yea nice photography and filming etc. this isnt a skating video though… skating was the filling, the rest of the drama was the meat of the video. which makes me think, why is it on rollernews? it’s great that you have this cool camera and skills maybe in the future you can put together a cool video about skating, with the objective of showing skating, not just showing off video skills (as some people do). really nice, man.
    peace

  20. Roussel Says:

    “why is it on rollernews”

    please stop asking this question, rollernews can post what ever they want, it has skating in it, it relates to skating, i think thats good enough.

  21. mousley Says:

    confusing, looked way pretty with the bugs and girl, but the skating didn’t stand out as much as the other randomness did. and i like both the skaters alot, fleener with his nugen farside drop fakes and jason’s rocket fish on the curved hubba! DAMN good clips but were overshadowed ultimatly by something else, which makes me think what the purpose was for the edit. was it just a throw away or was it trying to make a point…… not sure but ya everything looked sweet with that nice ass camera. you guys are wild turkey in TEXAS! HA!

  22. erik clapton Says:

    fuck ya fleener. fuck ya

  23. Os Says:

    Hey nice piece really inspiring.

    What type of lenses do you generally use for skating if you don’t mind sharing your expertise.

    Thanks!

  24. jubby Says:

    some of the fc work was freaking redonk, but fuck me that time lapse shot in the middle of the road you must have fucking big balls leaving a camera like that in the middle of the road, even if it was on a traffic thingy.

  25. Kyle Guzman Says:

    That was beautiful.

  26. Chase Rees Says:

    Os: I use RED’s lens’. 18-50mm, 50-150mm, and for some I use a 300mm telephoto. And for everyone who keeps wondering why… This wasn’t a skating vid as much as its a piece of work with skating in it. I never intended to show this but it came out nice so I released it. So JuJu, Mousley, I apologize for not focusing on skating, but I also want people who don’t skate to relate to this. Besides, it only helps bring new people to watch a dying sport that doesn’t deserve to fade away like it has the past 10 years. So keep skating, I’ll keep filming, and we can all be happy. Here’s to art! Cheers!!!!
