Skate Pack

If you read my other blog, then you may remember the "Party Pack." Well apparently I have an obsession with backpacks or something, but this is our skate pack. I'll later take pictures of everything we keep in it, but for now I'll just list what we call our "essentials."
1. Camera rod
2. Camera
3. Extra batteries
4. Helmet
5. Pads
6. Sliding gloves
7. Extra gloves
8. Red Bulls
9. First aid kit
10. Tools/ Tape
11. Note book and pen (for idea's)

Projects/In The Making

Above is what I like to call the "Media Head." I'll post a whole post about it later, but basically I am in the planning process of creating a head collection touching on social subjects. The one above is about how media affects us. The picture of the skull was a sketch I am doing to create a cutout to make another project with.

Things In Bottles

Below are a few of my newest creations. I have 30 bottles that I had nothing to do with so I thought, why not make use of them? I have started peeling off the labels and filling them with water. Once filled, I put in a high lighter (you'll see why once the project is finished), and then I picked up some of those growing toy things from the Dollar General. You know the ones? That when you put them in water they grow? Well, I guess we will see how well this one goes!

Same picture, I just did some different things to it. 

DYI Video Camera Extension

Need longer arms to get that perfect shot while boarding? Well wait no more! We have a solution to your problem right here! (At least a temporary somewhat terrible one).

My friend slyly made this little contraption. She took the end off of a broom stick, poked a whole in a cigarette pack and taped the pack to the pole to have a flat "sturdy" surface that we could tape the camera to so that we could get different angles while filming. Yes, it was a good idea in retrospect, but the tape slowly became flimsy and it was difficult to keep the camera at the  angle we needed.

So after all that, we ended up going out and buying a regular camera extender thing (idk what it's called). I am super stoked to get out and use it.

Long Board the Park

This day was all about filming and catching some speed. We were trying out different techniques with the camera and different angles. We were just skating around the local park by my house that has some nice hills to ride on. One I may have even reached 35 mph on. We were also trying out our new sliding gloves we made.
