The Process
The idea was to have the camera constantly leading as a skaterboarded was doing trick after trick while locations seamlessly change. We knew that we needed a gimbal to get the job done. We utilized the Freefly Systems movi with our RED Epic camera mounted on it and sat in the back of a Honda hatchback to achieve the seamless match cut shots.
Although the shoot was very run and gun, safety was top priority. We got the necessary permits and also hired a police officer to follow us from each location to block off the roads from oncoming traffic.
