After watching his episodes on Epicly Later’d, I am feeling particularly inspired by Dylans story of fame and misfortune. If you somehow missed this amazing video he put out for Gravis, you can thank me later for showing you.

Antwuan Dixon Epicly Later’d
I must admit this is probably the first episode of Epicly Later’d that I have watched the whole way through… but I am not disappointed. I am currently watching the Dylan Rieder episodes. All of them. For those who don’t know, Epicly Later’d is a web video series produced by fellow Ohio-an Patrick O’Dell, presented by Vice, where he interviews the bigger names in skateboarding these days. Each episode is a very honest, uncensored look into the lives of these professional athletes. I highly recommend watching.

Robin Leduc – Laissez Moi Passer
This is a very visually stimulating music video from French musician Robin Leduc. The song isn’t the greatest, but the stop motion animation makes up for it. I would tell you more about its production but I can’t read French.
Krooked 3-D Trailer
Krooked will be releasing a full-length DVD this Friday entirely in 3D. Check out the most recent trailers. I hope everyone saved their Avatar glasses.

Here’s a pretty wild little teaser for a very modular rig for D-SLR filmmaking. Made by Handy Film Tools.
The video cameras of choice for BMX filmers
Nuno at Defgrip made an article where the more popular BMX filmers of this era describe the video cameras they use and why. I found it rather informative, maybe you will too.
Walter Pieringer
While doing some website maintenance this morning I realized that I had forgotten some people on the ‘Links’ page. One of them being Walter Pieringer. Walter is unquestionably one of the best BMX photographers of our time. Taking a look at his website is proof. But what a lot of people don’t know is that Walter was also a shredder back in the day. Don’t believe me? This is where I was going to post a clip from Props where he does that huge wallride and smashes out his teeth. Can’t find it. Fail.
GoPro Tester Vid
from Stranger. A couple of clips from using a GoPro camera, the Helmet model I think. The picture looks great, and it has a 170 degree field of view. They seem to be a worthy opponent of the more popular pocket-sized video cameras.

You know, I always forget to look at the ESPN website. So naturally I was surprised to see that the ‘Photo of the Day’ for Wednesday was a photo that I shot. It was a mild nutty-tap reminding me to take advantage of the infinite number of resources the internet has to offer. The first article on the BMX page was written by friend and fellow Ohio-an Cody York. It was actually about an ad that he had seen in ESPN the Magazine (while in a doctors office of all places, a sight I’m no stranger to these days) posing a question about the internet ruining printed media. It’s a good point, one I forget to take into account; Photographs printed look a lot better than they do on the screen. That’s not to say that this photo of Bobby Simmons doesn’t shine on its own, because it does. I guess what I’m trying to say is go to the ESPN website for exceptional coverage of all major sports.
New York City Timelapses
This is an excellent video, especially since I just put up a tutorial on shooting timelapses.
