Our Union, is the first big project of FSU Productions! The main purpose of Our Union is to showcase a new video aspect through skateboarding, documentation, presentation, and a behind-the-scenes presence to the life of a skateboarder. There is no skill required in this video besides what limits you to your creativity and imagination. A unique approach outside of filming tricks, getting the perfect angle and music. Our Union will be the first of it's kind, the goal is just that! Everyday life of a freestyle skateboarder, where you skate, how you skate, what you skate with, who you skate with, and the list goes on. Filming for Our Union, can also be compared to a self-interview, the only difference, your interviewing yourself, and those answers are for the viewers to hear. Come and United With Us!
Guidelines:
The elements to this video will include, skateparks, skate spots, neighborhoods, everyday interactions, talking, tricks, rails, ramps, friends, and more. Fine examples, discussing your strengths, your weaknesses, while your relaxing on your favorite couch. Recording yourself editing a video while sitting at your personal computer. How you dress to skate, show the viewers your torn clothes, shoes, and even your skate collection. Even hanging out at a spot you first stepped foot on your skateboard at. The best examples of great creativity, are giving the viewers a tour of your everyday life, as a skateboarder, as a freestyler! Feel free to add some new and old tricks, explain your favorite, give viewers the chance to see you, and the life around you. The amount of talking, and personal privacy you wish to show, are completely up to you. Our Union will be a mix of documentation, cribs, skate parts, and showcasing our freedom as skateboarders.
You will be controlling the variety in your part. I encourage you all to summon up unique ideas, do the out of ordinary! Do the impossible, detach away from always feeling alone in our skateboarding univers, and give other freestylers from all around the world, a look into your world. Give shout outs to your favorite skaters, your favorite community friends, your sponsors. Draw inspiration from ideas, such as RobbySkateboard and his upside down skateboarding! Attach your trucks to the opposite side and enjoy a unique, side, on skateboarding! Freestyle is being able to do anything, anywhere, on any surface possible! So feel free to test that out, and freestyle someplace you otherwise wouldn't expect to work!
Our Union will test our every creativity and imagination of those who participate. This is sure to bring out who you are as a skater. Take a break from regular progress videos, trick tips, and throw away footage. Get our community to see you, off the forum, off the chats, and into your world! Because when it comes down to it, we're all unique at what we do. Both styles and personalities alike! So follow the rules & guidelines and go out and have fun! Because Our Union, is all about asking you to be free, unlock those chains keeping you from being more as a freestyle skateboarder! Lets show one another and this world what freestyle skateboarders do!
