Seattle RED Parkour Shoot

Before the first video has even been completely finished and released, a new one we just shot in Seattle is coming out this Friday the 8th. Graciously sponsored by Stoel Rives law firm, this one focuses on a race in a full business suit across Seattle shot in full 4K (about 8 times the size of 720 HD) by the RED ONE camera.

Portland RED Parkour Shoot

Updated with new footy!

Blog’s been quiet recently as I’ve been having a little mini-vacation with my folks in Vancouver, WA. I came down originally for a video shoot with some cool guys but I ended up staying down for Mother’s Day as well (love ya Mom!).

The shoot went really well though and I’m very excited to see the finished project. Why? We shot on the RED One digital camera system :) 110fps at 2K resolution, that’s about 4x slow motion in higher than full HD resolution.

Update: The song is “Death of a lonely superhero” by Clover. Here’s a link:

Off to LA Tomorrow

Well, my “vacation” in San Fran in between tour dates got sidetracked a bit yesterday as I needed to travel to Vegas for a day to check out a new set being built for a job in Hawaii, but we made up for it today. It’s surprisingly though how boring Vegas is in the middle of the day when you are there alone, all I had to do to pass the time till my flight was to lose some money playing poker ;)
But for my last day in SF we got some great wandering training in, although I’m a bit sick currently and couldn’t push very far. I did find out that I can lache farther than I can standing jump :) Need to find some more of these:

I forget where we went…but it was pretty…and the scaffolding in SF kicks ass!

Guess the Challenge

And here’s a new game if anyone wants to play. If you can guess the challenge I came up with (and eventually got) for this spot in the comments…I’ll send you a video of what our performance choreography looks like. So who thinks like I do?

First University Done!

After some quick choreography the day before, we ran five separate 5min demonstrations followed by some impromptu teaching to anyone interested. The day went pretty damn well, although running five performances in a day is a little tough.

I actually need to get some sleep here pretty soon, as I’m flying to Vegas for a few hours early in the morning tomorrow to check out a different set that’s getting built there. Will update with more info on what we actually do on this stuff later in the week.

Campus City

An ardent reader of this blog will notice that the only images I have been posting have been of either sunrises or sunsets. Well it’s not my fault. It’s Boston man, every time that sun hits the horizon it just looks amazing (you can click on the thumbnails to see what I mean).

But anyway, today and yesterday were great days and we got some great training in. Yesterday we explored around Harvard and found some fun stuff, and today I introduced an old good friend of mine to parkour at MIT. Which at first didn’t look very promising from the car, but there is some very cool architecture hidden around that campus that I’m digging a lot.

We even did some exploring inside when I convinced her to follow me up this crazy staircase to the roof of the CS building (all college roof access points seem to be the same). Was a bit chilly up there, but what a great view:

Boston seems like such an amazing city for parkour with the billion college campuses they have, and I look forward to exploring the rest of them! Which means I definitely need to get some sleep now. If it doesn’t rain horribly like it did today we’ll get to meet some of the local traceurs tomorrow for the first time.

Granville Island Trip

The blog’s been quiet lately which generally means that I’m crazy busy, case in point this last week. Apart from having to shoot and edit some last minute audition videos I finally got to see my folks again as we traveled to Granville Island in Vancouver, BC (Canada) for my dad’s birthday.

About Granville

Granville Island is now officially one of my favorite places. The whole “island” rests underneath the Granville bridge in Vancouver, is surrounded by huge skyscrapers (mostly apartment buildings), and used to be a entirely populated and polluted by heavy industry.

Yet the whole place has been very cleverly redesigned into a bustling “urban oasis” that’s part park, playground, art house, and public market. And it’s clean! All of Vancouver was a breath of fresh air for me (literally) after being in places like Hong Kong and Tokyo. The skies are clear and the water is beautiful, it’s quite impressive for such a huge city and I definitely want to go back. Most of these pictures are of Granville’s or Stanley Park’s view of Vancouver but there are some of Granville further down.

New Features!

I twisted my ankle a bit after that long day of training, and here is what happens when I’m injured and bored. Turn on Javascript if it is off and click these pictures!

That’s right, I install new things for my blog! You can navigate between them using your left-right keys or by clicking on the left or right area of the photo as well. It also works on videos as you can see by the videos in the sidebar or just click here.

Edit: I originally took those pictures because I thought I looked like that guy from Street Fighter, well two people have now told me I look like Guile! Pretty funny, maybe I should dye my hair blond and wear militay pants everywhere…

K-Swiss Sales Meeting Freerunning Performance

Doh! So I remembered to bring my camera so I could take many wonderful pictures of beautiful Arizona, yet I forgot to bring the necessary memory card which turned it into a rather heavy paperweight because I’m too cheap to buy another. Which is too bad because I could have gotten some good practice at shooting in tricky lighting conditions, which, um, you can see a bit in these photos from Mark ;) Sorry Mark.

Taurus Stunt Awards!

Today we went to Paramount Studios and got everything choreographed and locked down. This is going to be an amazing show, and everyone will be able to see it on AMC TV because it’s for the Taurus World Stunt Awards! Somewhere in-between the explosions, pirates, car wrecks, and The Rock we are doing an 8 person 2 minute performance across roofs, an armored car, a crane, and like a jewelry store or something… Bah just look at the pictures:

Sandy Beaches and Giant Buddhas

I’m lagging behind on the blog front and I apologize. Our focus recently is on our upcoming performance in Macau, but we have been doing some touristy type stuff in the meantime. Tuesday we went down to a place called Stanley to check out the beaches and stores. Not much there really but some good time to relax. Wednesday (today for me still), we went to Lantau to check out the largest outdoor bronze statue of Buddha…it’s a really big statue…not much else to say.

We spent a lot of time today re-choreographing our performance for Macau. Continue Reading »
