*UPDATE 9/3/2008
I just got some HD cameras now, so we will be reshooting a lot of this. We are going to extend the production phase as well due to the fact that we are going to be able to have a much better quality piece now. We are also getting a 35mm adapter so it should be a much better looking film. Like I have said before, we want to talk to as many people as possible, especially if you live in the midwest! Expect to see another trailer and/or a video blog about this very soon! Thanks!

*UPDATE 7/7/2008*
I have been reading a lot of the comments and I think the title will be changed once the film is finished. The only thing we are talking about is hardcore "dancing," so it is about people who dance, not necessarily about kids who are claiming to be "hardcore." I appreciate the comments and keep them coming, because the film will continue to be shaped by your input! Maybe my next film will be about the hardcore scene in general, or something along those lines.

This video is just a few kids who we randomly talked to at a show, If you are an "expert" on the subject of hXc Dancing and would like to be interviewed in this film, send me a message.

Preview of a documentary I am working on about hardcore dancing! It doesn't have a solid title yet because the title we wanted was taken by some kids before we were able to get ours finished. Maybe we will still use it though. Much more will be coming soon, there will be sweet bands and interviews with all kinds of people! Thanks for watching!

bands/music included in this clip

* We have been working hard, talking to tons of bands and people who dance, and we should be putting up a new trailer soon. Also expect to see the film done by Spring 2010. Thanks!*

  • Chris Christensen plus 1 year ago
    Me personally? that is a good question... meaning I did an ok job staying unbiased in the piece?

    Who's the douche bag at the begining?
    If its your friend or someone close to you, then my bad man, but... I like hardcore shows, just don't really like the jerks that go there to just to annoy everyone, its kind of childish. Bro-core is right but.. I rather not call it that :P

    Man, this reminds me of 2005-2006 summers, going to shows, PLAYING shows. How I miss being in a similar scene'd band. You mentioned midwest... it makes me wonder, where are you shooting this stuff? I'm in central IL. This seems like a very familiar group of kids.

    As far as the technical side, I like your simplistic production but I do wonder what you're using on the compression side? It looks like you've got a sub-three minute video at a well under HD resolution that's hitting 300MB. It looks great, but you may consider an alternate method to get that file size down!

    All in all, this is a great start.. love it so far!

    Hey Tim, thanks for the response! I am in Southeast MN, but this was shot up in a small town West of Minneapolis. I have lots of footage but am trying to replace a lot of it with HD stuff I am shooting now... Its tough because I was in school at that time and had a little bit more time then.

    Hmmm I can't think of why it is so large... I will try to export it again and see what happens :)

    i've filmed quite a few hardcore shows and am truely fascinated by this style of dance. I have some stock footage of some pretty cool hardcore dances moves. Good luck with the film and let me know if you are interested in the footage.

    Rofl this is terrible, I mean the idea and everything you are doing is great, but as for the people you interviewed, holy shit...What the fuck does "Hardcore is all about brocore" even mean -___- and the bitch at the end who claims the music has taken a back seat to etc, Does she even realize that she is apart of the downfall in the music scene? fucking idiot mentioned grindcore too -__- wtf is she talking about. YOU CAN'T EVEN DANCE TO REAL GRINDCORE! Fucking twat, anyway Although I hate the people you interviewed I'm really psyched to get the full film when it comes out, Just get better people to talk too :] You should come To NYC if you want real shit. Keep it up brotha.
  • Chris Christensen plus 1 month ago
    thanks for the comment Justin, I agree that the video is not a good representation of what's really out there. Once you see the final film I think you will appreciate it. I may be in NYC, but if you know of any good shows and would like to be interviewed, hit me up and I will try to make it out myself, or send someone to shoot. itsahxclife@gmail.com

    OH and for the people who don't like getting hit, either go to the back or gtfo. Crowdbashing always was and always will be apart of it, that's why I do it<3
