I'm thinking that Crispy should introduce the movie by talking about what surfing means to him, his life, his friends etc. He explains how a joke idea for a board became a concept and how likeminded people in many cases with nothing more in common than surfing itself wanted to be part of the project.
He goes on to say that Steve Del Rosso the same as everyone else simply wanted to contribute to the idea. This is the segue to the design and shaping scene.
It's less about an actual surfboard but more of physical representation of friendship and the connection people have via their love of surfing and the ocean. The board travels from one person to the next and each explains what surfing has done for them, any interesting stories, surf travel etc etc.
It's a love story
WOW just went through the trial board footage. was just checking for how much the contour camera picks up and from where i should set it(there is no view finder)
well its already looking good boys.
I'm thinkin' something like the start of "2001 a Space Odyssey"
"2012 a Beer Garden Experiment"
A couple of Apes find they can use anything laying around to use as weapons...."THE BOARD appears"
Oh well....it's a start.
Just have to see who fits the bill as the Apes.....
Over to you guys.....
^^^^so are you with that big smile mac is watching over you to see if you have the credentials of being TOPDOG
mate we're all in the shiz the way we've run amok since he pissed off and left us behind geez ....
Top Dawg ???? fark that , you blokes are farken mad , farken serious issues - it's all Macs
oh shiz I'm farked I failed miserably I've defected to the Goddard camp I didn't collect enough piss in beer fines for the movie-goers Asea is posting up 3 times as much and wreaking havoc rattling the cocky's cages geez I'm in the farken shiz
Oh by the way you copped another beer fine for sledging the Prez - thats 42 cans so far mate
hang on mate I'm just checking the Prez's rules on Retiring without his permission - I think it's an automatic 6-pack beer fine , I'll get back to you directly champ

Good work boys, and Asea, for 2500.
Can't wait to see the end product. Hoping to get some smoking footage from around here. I'm hoping to get water footage, and beach footage. Plus I have at least a half dozen stills that capture the scene down here. I can do 40 seconds of voice-over for the associated stills. Trying to keep it short and sweet!

How about an opening seen like this.
The image
There on the beach lies the dude, one arm lovingly draped across the beergarden board the other clenched near his mouth with only the thumb protruding into it. His body glistens is the morning rays from his nightly drooling, the air is tinged with the sent of flatulence, reminiscent of a felafel with too much cumin.
That opening was captured years ago....see below.
Does anyone know if the following would be possible in the editing?
You've got the camera mounted on the board, and rather than take it of after a sesh, you keep it on as you put the board on the roof, obviously with the cam upside down, and you drive to the next beach with the cam running.
You then get the upside down footage, and edit it so it's the right way up, speed it up and show the journey from one break to another.
Is that doable?
