During the transitional period of 2011 that was neither summer autumn or winter (that’s October to you) Axe Distribution took a bunch of guys and one girl on a tour of Ireland with the intention of shooting film and photo’s skating street. The weather had other ideas and our intrepid adventurers were forced to improvise, we spoke to Sean Miller to ask how it all went down…
So how did this film come about?
The hardest thing about filming skateboarding was that its so weather dependant! What’s that about? But apart from that it’s just like any other film job. I was keen to make a film without a fish eye! Does that make sense? I think that there are too many edits and movies that have no thought behind them. Anyone can skate behind someone with a GoPro, it’s not hard, thoughtful or creative.
Next time I’d take a different approach and concept to the film. I don’t think the equipment you use is important it’s more about how you film or what you want the end product to look like.
Here’s a cheeky little edit put together by some mates using an iPhone hoping all is well with you and yours.
