My first video Pleasant Surprise had a heavy inspiration from Chris Mulhern’s This Time Tomorrow. I decided to do the whole day into night transition and back to day in the video. It was filmed in all HD and I got a lot of compliments on all the night footage in it. I had always thought a video done entirely at night would be really sick, but super hard to pull off because of bars/girlfriends/etc. I really like how the camera light isolates the skater and the outside distractions are minimal compared to daytime footage. I decided to push forward with it anyway, figuring at least I could make like a 15 minute montage/video type thing. Right away my friends Taylor Moore and Austin Plantiga are down for the idea and think they could probably pull off full parts. Since I’m usually busy during the day with advertising school and working at a screen-printing shop, I usually don’t get out till it’s dark anyway, so it kind of worked out perfectly. We went on a few trips to cities near Richmond and a trip to Philly for the Skate Jawn anniversary (see last issue). Probably didn’t get to travel as much as we would have liked, but the trips we made were very productive.

I’m actually doing a VX video next. I’m going to stick to some sort of theme, but haven’t figured it out yet. But if you want to grab a copy of LNL for $10 shipped you can do so at lnlvideo.tumblr.com.

Thanks, Clem
