QUIKSILVER Door 33

Working on a new bi-weekly show for Quiksilver. They recently built a new skatepark in their massive warehouse so we get to come on up and make short videos with their team riders. Here't the first episode. I had a lot of fun filming it because it reminded so much of those HGTV improvement shows I know so well. Fun stuff!

insight: Willy Santos

Willy and I have been friends for quite some time, somewhere around the 10 year mark. Without a doubt Willy has greatly contributed to skating throughout his career, which has just hit the 20 year mark! Please enjoy a little insight into Mr. Willy Santos.

Sensible Portions commercial

Shot a commercial for a potato chip company, Sensible Portions. The spot features Birdhouse skateboarder, Elliot Sloan. He's super good at skating and a fun guy too. We plan on shooting more videos for Birdhouse together soon.

No Bragging Rights music video

I got to DP another music video directed by my good friend, Josh Knoff. Josh had some great ideas for the band before we even started filming. I was given freedom to shoot this one, so I went to town creatively with my lighting and camerawork. Thanks, Josh. I'm pleased with the results on this one.

Free Lunch: Rob Welsh

Rob is super funny. I think he's aware of how powerful videocameras can be in ruining someone's reputation. He did a good job of being modest when the camera was rolling. Enjoy!

Phoenix Am contest 2011

The first few days of the recent Birdhouse filming trip involved the Phoenix Am contest. A few of the six Birdhouse riders that I was filming did very well. Cheers!

Free Lunch with Nate Sherwood

Nate and I met five or six years ago, and every time since was crazier than the last. Ladies and gentlemen, mi amigo, Nate Sherwood.
