Roughneck BART Tour 2010

Welcome to BART Tour, San Francisco’s closest event to the Warriors. We’ve been documenting Roughneck’s annual contest/pilgrimage/ takeover of Bay Area Rapid Transit since 2006. This year we introduced a Canon 7D into the mix. For credits click here.

File this under better late than never. Believe me, I’ve wanted to get this out there since the day after. Fortunately for us JADED had a really good year… unfortunately, that meant I couldn’t edit this until now. Happy late birthday Johnny!

Redford Center: Cory Booker Art of Activism

On November 11th we had the honor of covering the Redford Center’s annual Art of Activism Event at the Sundance Kabuki Cinema in San Francisco. This years guest of honor was Newark, New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker. You might be familiar with Mayor Booker from his many television appearances, or from the excellent documentary film Street Fight. (If you haven’t seen that film, definitely check it out.)

The video posted above is Mayor Bookers talk, moderated by Lee Bycel in it’s entirety. Give it a listen. Here’s the description from Redford Center’s Vimeo page:

Dwntwn Skate Supply: SOMA

This video is the latest in a long line of videos we’ve produced to cover the exploits of our friend Johnny Roughneck. Back in 2009 we produced a video promoting his new shop “Dwntwn” that had just opened in San Francisco’s Tenderloin District. A year later, he’s got a Best of the Bay Award under his belt and the shop has moved to a new and bigger South of Market location. In his own words, they “ain’t playing.”

This is our inaugural dslr shoot. It was produced by JADED with the help of our friend Ben Youngerman. We shot with a Canon 7D, a Canon 5D Mark II, and employed a Merlin Steadicam with vest and arm.

RNCK BART Tour 2010 Stills and Screens

We’re working on the BART Tour 2010 video and it will be up sooner than later. Until then enjoy some screens (from the 7D and the A1) and stills from the 7D. See if you can tell which is which.

Tyler handled the legit skate filming while I messed around with the 7D.

First stop: Richmond Park

…and a word from our sponsors

Next stop: Wastelands

Stallings destroyed it as usual.

Stay tuned.

Dwntwn DSLR

Here’s the video evidence from our first DSLR Shoot. Check out Dwntwn’s new location and TeamJaded with a 7D and a Merlin Steadicam. Our friend Ben Youngerman also worked on this with his brand new Canon 5D. He did a great job, and his Zeiss lens looks sick!

We produced this to showcase our friend Johnny’s new shop and also as a test shoot for our new DSLR’s. How’d we do for a first go round?

Next time you’re South of Market roll through Dwntwn… they might even be making vegan pizzas.

World’s collide: 7D IB5K RNCK Alphabet Soup Extravaganza!!!!!!

Jeremey with Merlin vest and 7D at DWNTWN

In our continued effort to keep the blog posted with what we’re up to, we’d like to announce that we got a Canon 7D DSLR! If you don’t know, learn. If you do know, then yeah… oh yeah. We’re psyched. Welcome back to the party to us.

We’ve had the camera for a little over a week, and we got it just in time for a big job with our friends over at IB5K. Once again, we’re going to be traveling America shooting video. This time it’s mini-docs for Bank of America. But enough about that, we got a 7D! And a Merlin Steadicam (complete with arm and vest)!!

Look out for test footage, we’ll try to post some sooner than later. In the meantime, enjoy these screen shots and stills from a practice shoot we did with our friend Ben Youngerman and his new 5D at the new Dwntwn. I’ll label each pic with camera used and whether it’s a still or screen grab.

…Oh yeah, Dwntwn moved from the Tenderloin to Soma (and into a gigantic space). The new address is 1086 Howard @ 7th St. Head down and check it out. Here’s link to our friend Christian’s blog post from the opening party.

We’re going to do another practice shoot on Monday (today), and then Abby’s going to cut a mini doc from the new footage. Stay tuned.

Atlas Unleashed

We produced this video for the Roughneck Online Catalog and ‘Zine a few months ago. It’s been on lock down ever since… So we thought it was time for it to see the world.

If you’ve been paying attention to our site you might have already seen it in the portfolio section. If not, then enjoy. Atlas is an excellent skate shop serving San Mateo and the greater Bay Area. We’re proud of this video. 2 hour shoot, one day edit. Shot with one Canon XH-A1, one man band style. …Particularly proud of my steady camera skills following Mike Manidis down that tiny stairway.
