I've sort of been in the process of moving...again...and because of that, I haven't really had alot of spare time, but the time I have had, I've been busy working away on my Everything Project and the 2nd Part to the online video.
Thus far in the Online Jam Pt. 2, I have three sections done and I'm really excited about how its turning out, so far, the video includes names like Dustin Hinson, Jeremy Lister, Adam Mcmanus, and Tim Taylor. Once this bad boy is wrapped up I definitely think there will be some fire for your domes, so just bare with me.
As far as awesome things on the internets go, I'm sure you've seen it by now but Chris Haffey's Drip Drop section is up and I'm only hoping its legitimately posted by the makers and not some wack pirated shit:
Other than that I'm busy working and moving so updates may be a bit scarce. P
Work has been crazy, and I only got to skate once last week :( but I did finish up the some more motion titles for this Solo Collective project. Steven Swain will be the next installment and it's dropping in the middle of week sometime I believe. So be ready for that.
I've been doing some editing on the Online Video part 2 in my spare time, which has been scarce as of late. And I'm really stoked to get the 2nd part finished, its going to have a bunch of profiles, and hopefully some fun animated jams, so stay tuned for all that jazz.
Oh also, I recently picked up a subscription to ONE Magazine, and its only like $15-$16 for like 6 issues or some shit like that, which is not bad...that's like the equivalent to two happy meals...or so I'm told...Basically put down the cheeseburger fatty, and pick up a subscription to some sick blade media, it's definitely worth it. And if nothing else, head over to ONE to check out they're ever so funny Webroll, it definitely provides the lulz.
I'm hoping to snap a couple flicks this weekend so I can bring you doods some visuals for the upcoming week, but until then, check out this short educational video about curse words and they're effects on youth:
I've really become a fan of David's skating and can't wait to see more from this dude in the future.
Also, my favorite ILLustrator, Chris Piascik (whom runs a really awesome clothing company called Print Brigade) and Will Bryant have released this awesome Magazine of Illustrations called the Hallowzine! and it looks really awesome and only cost $8 so head over to Chris' website and check it out, and if you can spare the cash, pick a copy up and support a talented dude.
I think that's all the shit I have to share with you today internets. Southern Motion is still for sale, so if you haven't got a copy, definitely do so, because for every copy I sell, one of those dollars goes into an account that buys a poor guy food, just keep that in mind.
Good God, Jamie and Kevin have really outdone themselves.
I'm just going to say if you like awesome rollerbladers and professionals that skate well, go to this web site and spend the most entertaining 30 mins of your life on the internet you ever have.
Its literally fucking amazing, with tons of big names, fish, montre, mcmanus, timmy t, rob g, jon ortiz, jose disla, michael braud, kevin dowling, david sizemore, and sooo very many more. there is so much content that your head is going to explode, so do that shit immediately.
And thanks fellas for the shotout, I look forward to working with you dudes in the future.
Well this week I've been focusing alot of attention on finishing up these Titles for the RB Online Jam "The Solo Collective" which is cool because I love getting projects done haha. But because of that reason, I haven't really had alot of time for anything else. However, David Sizemore's section is apparently dropping on the 31st (of October) so stay on teamtrs.com and keep your eyes peeled for that, because that kid is good.
I only have like one day off this week, but I'm really hoping to get to some editing with this online video project this week. I have alot of fun ideas for the next installment, so that's promising.
That's all for now, I'll try and update later this week with something for you dudes to look at. holler.
So, I've been soooo busy this week that I haven't really done anything but work, but it was my good friend John Rhineheart's birthday this past weekend and I made him this poster to celebrate his 23rd year of breathing:
Happy birthday buddy!
Work is going to be crazy this coming week and I'll be covering alot for the other guy as he's having a kid, so posts may be scarce and weird...but stay tuned, I've got some gems planned.
Ok, as promised, here is part one of the Online Video I'm making, I hope you enjoy.
I would recommend starting the download now and reading the rest as your waiting for it, cause at 17 mins, its a biggin'. Also, I'm usin h.264 compression limiting it to 1000kb/per second and its 249mb, if any of you know of any genius ways to get it smaller (thats what she said) definitely leave a comment with the knowledge.
This video is comprised primarily of footage that wasn't used in Southern Motion so its nothing amazing but there is still alot of really good skating, from some dudes you'll definitely know.
Every year or so I try to make little tribute edits to my friends and I haven't done one since the Friends Edit about a year ago, so I'm hoping this bad boy makes up for lost time and provides you with some visual rockers and lulz.
Also, good bud Adam Mcmanus and I have been doing the blade thing lately and we came away with two pretty sweet shots this weekend.
Also, Adam was recently listed on the Valo Support Team on their website which is well deserved and awesome, so go over and check that out and support dope companies that make dope products.
Also, Footage Tape Premiere is this weekend and I'm really stoked about it, I helped with the Open and other graphical elements and the final product is finally together as of this weekend, so try and make it to that for sure.
If you don't know what FT is read on, I stole this from the Premiere page info:
"For those of you who know nothing about it, FootageTape is a High Definition online rollerblading series brought into your world by myself (Jamie Olmstead) and Kevin Dowling . We have been working very hard on the first episode for a few months now and we hope to release 2 more before christmas. Episode 1 is bangeriffic and flossy featuring skating from Greenville, SC, Tallahassee, FL, Chattanooga, TN, Atlanta, GA, and New York mother flipping City!Featuring skating from the likes of Adam Mcmanus, Tim Taylor, Rob G, Montre Livingston, Michael Braud, Julian Bah, Billy Oneill, Chris Smith, Walt Austin, David Sizemore, Jon Ortiz, Adam Ehalt and more! Super crispy."
That's all for this week, I have some freelance to get done in the upcoming week, so I may not update next week, but then again, I do lie alot, so stay tuned!
Is currently dedicated to the conception and creation of the Second Video Installment of a video series capturing rollerblading in the South, also known as Southern Motion.
