EDIT: 25.June 2009

If you are living in germany you are happy to see Born to Skate in a cinema near you in the late german summer.

We have a cooperation with Cineplus and Farbfilm and dates for cinema will be released soon.

So stay online, tuned and on board.


Edit 2.December 2008!

I am glad to tell you:
The film is finished now.
We are just preparing everything to release it and you may get updates here ASAP.

Hope that we may see us in cinema one day ;)



Music:
The music in the trailer is from Chris Heck. The guy that talks and screams in the beginning. The music is nowhere to buy and nowhere to hear except in the trailer. Chris can tell you more about that.

Description:

I quitt skateboard movies when I entered film school.

Now, after 5 years I came back to develop a new style of narration in skateboard movies.
Together with Chris Heck, who is also a protagonist in this movie we try to make our way.

Quentin Tarantino always chilled in the video rental store and was bored of all the same movies. The same happened to with me and all the Skateboard videos.

So,
"Born To Skate" it is a roadmovie, which does not only show skateboarding, but life in its true sense.

It´s my masterwork in filmschool in germany
The film itself will be about 60- 90 minutes long.
There is still, a lot of hard work has still to be done.

Soon, the website: borntoskate.de will be online, and more infos will be available.

I hope you liked the trailer.Please comment and enjoy it.
I am happy about every critic.

    Awesome video mate. Didnt like the angry shouting bit though, a bit too much out of nowhere. You let people in the video with a lot of talking, and then you just throw all this loud stuff in and then you continue with softer and slow pictures again. Maybe ease the anger and the emotion in a little. Entwine more. Still awesome video, love it loads, good music, good editing.
    Great stuff.

    Well, that was the entire point of those clips, was to contrast the rest. He had just said that you live life a lot less "bitter" while skating. And I think it was supposed to be a bit comical showing all of these clips of him freaking out and being angry. Then even after that he still claims that he was calm. I think it works well. It might just lose some of comedy due to the subtitles if you only speak English.
  • Sebastian Linda 1 year ago
    yeah, i guess that is a big problem. In germany it is no problem at all, and the moment works really fine.

    But good to know, that it works hardly with subtitles
  • astute 1 year ago
    I am Dutch, and speak German alright, although I am having a hard time following this guy. Probably because I just learned textbook german.
    I got the joke of him being angry averse to him saying he is calm and serene inside. But the problem I think mostly is, is the difference in sound level.
    A suggestion could be, that when he is explaining his mental state of calmness, you put the anger in between in him telling he is calm. Maybe slo-mo the sound but for sure, don't make the screams so much louder then the talking. His grunting comes rather unexpected and harsh.
  • I'm dutch and I can follow the story quite alright without subtitles, not everything though.

    I think this is a great clip. And I really like how that guy almost is over-the-top positive about his skateboard-life and than in one blink of an eye changes the whole mood by shouting how much he hates skateboarding. Ha ha ha! Great stuff.
    The contrast in color of that particular moment (yellow to blue) is nice, too.

    Nice editting on that jump.

    That slow-mo shot with the Plan B board was fantastic. What camera did you film it with. You'll have to let us know how I can get my mitts on that film when you finish it.

    Great Vid!

    Nice trailer, good work.

    One thing, you should look into changing the font you use for the subs. I see you use it for your site too and that's cool, but it's not a good reading font. It's too skinny.

  • Jason Brooks 1 year ago
    Looks excellent. Sounds great too.

    If you want any help proofing your subtitles before you finish it, then I'd be glad to help out. At the moment there are a few subtle but important mistakes which seems slightly humorous and so take away from the drama and tension for native English speakers. I'm not trying to be funny or an asshole, the offer is a genuine one.

    Keep up the good work,

    can't wait to see it...i don't think i've actually watched a skate video since 'Yeah Right!'...i'm definitely putting this on my list to see...a couple questions though...what camera did you shoot on? and what frame rate is the slow motion of the board mid-hardflip at the end?
