I didn't have much of a plan at the time since this was all pretty spur of the moment. But here is what I came up with.
Producer & Cinematographer - Alex Merriman
Colorist - Kurt Simpson
BMX Rider - Caique Gomes
Music - Generdyn "Dreams"
Shot in 1 day, I grabbed my skateboard and met with BMX rider Caique Gomes in Long Beach, CA. From the LA river in Compton to Downtown Los Angeles, we made our way through the city picking off different locations we could film some fun tricks. Skating alongside him through the streets of LA, I shot everything handheld on a RED Epic Dragon. No Steadicam, Movi's or tripods. The only other weapon of choice were a few different Schneider Cine-Xenar III lenses I utilized throughout.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
