Mike, very professional, and a great job of showing Slats in his element. Made him a real person (as opposed to his present god-like status!!). Loved the talk on board designs and how he sees his shapes as somewhat different from a lot of what is out there.

Keep up the video projects as you have such a great feel for your projects, Mike!

great gift to us all, Mike. What kind of camera did ya use .....a DSLR in movie mode or a digital movie camera? what editing program did ya use. Great jobs and I know it took some time to do all that.

Thank you.
Well done to Rob who has given so much to kneeboarding in his part of the world.
I hope I can do some more pieces on kneeboarders in the future.
The camera is a higher end video camera, not a DSLR. It's geared for newspaper/immediate deadline photojournalists with the things it can do quickly, and the quality it gives. The software is Final Cut Pro. Hollywood uses it. Of course you need a powerful MAC computer also to get it all working. There are less expensive ways of doing things also, it's all a creative process.

really enjoyed all 3 vids
i bet the most difficult part would have been to get Rob
to agree to being on film (him being an enigma)

great to see the hand of Yoda come through in the water cam

what surprised me the most was how little of Waka we see
in these clips (him being an enema)

just remember to not pull his finger when all the windows are rolled up

Very Tidy Job, MF

Arty camera angles, smooth editing transitions, and a rare insight into, the mind of that man the call " the Enigma."

Thanks for sharing yourself, Robo.
And THANK YOU, Spaniard, for doing an outstanding job and taking the time.

Wayno
