I've decided to pursue 'Skate Culture' as my theme and direction as I proceed forwards in this FMP. I've been skating myself for over ten years now and filming skateboarding has been an integral part of my love for the sport. I would say that learning filming and editing techniques within skateboarding has most certainly influenced my approach to moving image within my design practice. In my second year I focused heavily on video, producing both the SoundBombing and Wrinkley Runners briefs in this medium. This year I have made a real effort to focus more on illustration but with my decision to pursue skate culture as my theme for the FMP I see a real opportunity to combine the two mediums. As such, to accompany my illustrated book, I will produce a DVD of short skate edits.
This edit documents the process of searching out new skateable terrain within the urban landscape. I wanted to capture the feeling of mystery and intrigue as we entered the derelict building that was once Royal Park Primary School. My aim was to draw the viewer in as if they themselves were exploring this building and provide the context for which this makeshift skatepark had been built.
