"The Birds" Title Sequence by James Simpson



"Final project for my Motion Graphic Studio class at University of the Arts in Philadelphia. I took an analog approach to creating the project in order to achieve a gritty look. All of the titles were projected on various surfaces and manipulated using shadows and objects."

With everyone busy with school we've been sticking around Wedgewood still filming stuff for "Framework",  but now that it's Summer were gonna be taking some trips to new spots. 

Tore Bevivino and Brian Panebianco "Sabotage 2"

Over the years I've filmed Tore and Penny at Wedgewood and a few local spots, but I knew they had some crazy stuff they had filmed that they were hanging on too. I would see little sneak peeks of stuff they had in photos like these and on Pennys Blog, just waiting to see the footage.





Honestly I was probably more excited to see these two parts then any big pro video coming out and I think both parts definitely lived up to my expectations. I'm siked I got to film a few tricks in Tore and Pennys parts too. Sabotage 3 is gonna be sick.

Wedgewood Action



Clip of Tore Bevivino, Brian Panebianco and Nicky Borolla skatin wedge. Song is pretty damn catchy haha. Filmed by Nicky Borolla & Brian Panebianco. Edited by Nicky Borolla





Also found this clip on youtube of Joey O'Brien doing a bs noseblunt on the granite ledge at wedge. I've seen him try this here and there and I knew it was only a matter of time before he'd get one. I'm betting the next time I go to wedge he'll be doing them in lines.
