Alex Burston: Days & Nights in London B-Roll by Jon Lee (The Booted)

The BootedAlex Burston: Days & Nights in London B-Roll by Jon Lee
from The Booted on 27 Jan 2016

Back in August 2015 Alex Burston and Jon Lee teamed up to film an edit in London.

With 10 days to film the pair weren’t going to let a little bit of inclimate weather dampen their spirits. After all, this is England.

With Jon’s infamous attention to detail in the editing suite the section took a fair few months to come together. I think we saw at least 10 revisions of the edit along the way but the end result was well worth the wait.

Throughout the project the idea of making a VOD and donating a percentage of the money to charity was thrown around. Eventually it was decided that the charity would be Centrepoint (http://www.centrepoint.org.uk/), a London based charity that helps give homeless young people a future. A truly selfless and completely commendable act from Jon and Alex.

This 32 minutes of b-roll from the 10 days and nights also features Joe Atkinson as well as London residents Blake Bird, James Bower, Umberto Toselli engaging in antics across the city.

This isn’t the first time Jon and Alex have worked on a London edit. In 2014 The Booted also released the remarkable ‘7 Days in London’ edit (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_A65w-ePZI)

Filmed and edited by Jon Lee.

Clément Boucau x The Booted by Cavin Brinkman (The Booted)

The BootedClément Boucau x The Booted by Cavin Brinkman
from The Booted on 1 Dec 2015

Every great video profile is first and foremost the story of a collaboration. Every successful piece, the result of serious team work. Behind the tricks and technical prowess, one can catch a glimpse of this sense of trust a blader must experience towards his cameraman. Behind the crisp images and smooth filming, the feel of this emotional bond the filmer has established with his subject…

Such is the story of Cavin Brinkman and Clément Boucau. When they began working on this project, they had met each other a couple of times at the most, and truth is that they barely knew each other. Clément’s firendly smile is often a cover for his reserved personality, and Cavin has always made very clear that French people had to work twice as hard to gain his respect.

However, through getting to know one another, things progressively got easier. After a rather slow first shooting session in Paris which officially started this piece for The Booted, clips started rolling in as Cavin and Clément’s respective sense of humour took over. Shyness shun away, and laughter soon became an essential part of the filming process. In short; these two guys became friends.

Of course, these things are bound to happen when people spend that much time together. With no set deadline and shitty weather conditions to deal with, the filming sessions took place over the course of a whole year. A lot of that time was spent scouting for spots, nursing injuries or avoiding the rain, thus creating the opportunity for long talks, lots of laughs and even a little tourism!

The pair did cover quite some ground indeed, as they filmed in Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and Clément’s hometown of Lille. Unfortunately, they had to cancel a final trip to London, yet still planned sessions whenever Clément’s work schedule allowed. Exploring new terrain together was arguably one of the main factors that made for such a great collaboration between the two.

What you are now about to watch is the logical result of this whole process. This is Clément’s first major section in years, and arguably his very best to date. This is one of Cavin’s finest, most refined pieces in his extensive video catalog. This is a piece of both of their lives. This is the sum of many trips, several injuries, and countless moments of laughter. This is the story of two friends.

Following on from Monday’s posting of Chapter One from the latest series of Blade Blog we’re again honoured to share Chapter Two with you today.
Dan’s knowledge of rollerblading history may well be unparalleled. His commitment to the hours spent pouring over classic videos and obscure TV commercials from blading’s 90’s hey day is a marvel in itself.
This particular series of videos was first available as a VOD earlier in the year and we are extremely happy to have partnered with Dan on bringing them to the world in a permanent home. Featuring a lot of your favourite pro’s and some you might have forgotten about. Chapter Two clocks in at 35 minutes long so be sure to grab a drink and snacks before sitting down to this one.
