So
it has come to my attention that there have been a ton of local
skate blogs
linking to
me. I always appreciate this so I'm linking you
guys back now; thanks! Also, fellow SP
homie TuneBomb has a sick
website, so check that out and make sure you peep The Wub Tour
on there. Lastly, amazing artist and skateboarder Jay
Croft has an interview up on Alien
Workshop's website. Jay also did a t-shirt and board graphic from
them, but I unfortunately haven't found anywhere to purchase them yet.
Anyways, congrats Jay and happy shredding! |

The past 4 weeks have been the most hectic in terms of filming and editing in my life. I'm still slacking on OneUp Skateshop's go skate day montage, so don't worry it's coming. On top of that, I have been filming for Skate Perception's annual King of the Road competition. After 30+ hours of editing, it is finally complete for you to enjoy. I'd like to thank the whole team for putting forth their effort, I had a lot of fun. I'll also be providing a DVD image soon enough so you can burn a DVD if you care to. And if you have an SP account, the voting for best KOTR edit will begin soon; so make sure you cast your vote. |

I've spent the past month or so filming and editing as much as possible, but I've had to cut back a little with work and what not. Here's a new montage from the Follansbee park in West Virginia. The clip features Tyler Baker, Dave Carulli, Caleb Futey, Ben Smith, John Kraina, Malone Lynn and CJ Wright. Thank god we got to skate the curved ledge before they bolted it down in the most retarded position ever. Over this weekend I lost my phone to the waters of Harmon Creek, so whoever reads this should send me their number. Also Go Skate day is this saturday, and also the start of Skate Perception's King of the Road. It's gonna be a blast, and I can't wait for the finished video. Stay tuned! |

I'm back in good ol Pennsylvania for the summer. I was happy to spend one of my first days back with longtime fellow ripper Brad Boyer. |

NEW MONTAGE up. Check it out and get psyched on the weather! Also, new link: Pi=Twelve. |

| April 9th, 2008 |
There's a new new video up... That's kinda cool, especially considering there hasn't been a new one in more than a month. I'm actually going to post a new montage pretty soon because the WEATHER FINALLY BROKE! |

Sorry for the lack of updates everyone - I've been super busy lately. First off, I'd like to thank EVERYONE who showed their support in voting for our video. We got 2nd place, and missed out of winning by 7 votes. Again, THANK YOU EVERYONE. I've been doing as much filming as I can lately, so hopefully there will be a video update next time. Peace all. |

Just a reminder, TOMORROW is the last day of voting for the Ohiolink video contest! VOTE VOTE VOTE! |
-Dave |
| February 26th, 2008 |
I've been getting complaints that my site was too hard to read, so I decided to clean things up a bit. I also added some fresh new links that are definitely worth checking out; especially Police Informer. Also, there's going to be a video premiere of Jeff Biedenbach's Jackelope and the King of Ohio 2007 video, edited by Don Hammersly, on March 1st at the Green Room in Kent. It's gonna get nuts so definitely be there. |
-Dave |
| February 24th, 2008 |
So the OhioLINK Video Contest entry is doing very well with voting, so I'd like to thank everyone who voted for us and who are still voting. The newest clip I'm posting is my entry into Skate Perception's Video Clip Assignment #30. I spent around 2 weeks editing it so please, ENJOY IT. Note: This clip has some pretty explicit language in it, and I almost didn't post it here. So BE WARNED: THIS CLIP IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK. Sorry Mom and Dad... |

My good friend and fellow Media Production major, John Tamba, notified me of a video contest last week for OhioLINK. So we entered on the day of the deadline. Winner gets a 160gig iPod. Here it is. |

So I finally got bored enough to edit a montage of actual street footage! This is just a feel good montage I think everyone should enjoy, so do it up and get psyched! |

Alright so B3 yesterday was pretty fun and I filmed yet another B-Cubed montage. However, last night when I was exporting the montage my computer crashed and I had to reformat for the first time in my computer's life. Thank God I got an external harddrive for Christmas because that pretty much saved me. I spent all day setting my computer back up and I'm finally bringing you the montage that was so sick it killed my computer. Also, HDSkate linked to one of my videos again so I'm linking to them now, check em out! |

The
first B-Cubed session in about a year for me happened over the weekend.
I didn't really get enough footage for a montage and was going to wait
longer, but Justin convinced me to make one. He sent over a couple clips
he filmed that are in this, so just know I didn't film everything. Enjoy! |

Last
night was the first time I got to film in forever! The weather and the
fact that it gets dark at 6 now have really made it hard to get some shreddin'
done. Thankfully I went to Evolution last night and we filmed a fun
little montage. Skaters (in order of appearance)
are: Dan Hauenstein, Matt Marlatt, Kyle from Canton, and myself. Oh, and
here's a hi-res
version! |
-Dave |
| November 19th, 2007 |
So
I finally caved and got a .com address. I was sick of sitesled and was
tired of looking at the old design. If the footage isn't up while you're
reading this, be patient - it will be up soon. More footage coming soon,
check back often. |
-Dave |
| November 4th, 2007 |
Wow,
it's been a long time. Sorry about that, I've just been busy keeping my
blog updated,
getting school work done and what have you. Yesterday was a gorgeous fall
day where boredom got the best of me. So I filmed a whole montage
of myself by myself at the train ledges. To be concise, it is in 24 frames
per second. To be technical, it was shot on my DVC30's "frame mode"
setting (which is "fake" 30 frames per second), then slowed
to 80%, then finally ran through a 3:2 pulldown. The result is "fake"
24 frames per second, but I think it looks great. |

The
past 2 days have been quite fruitful in terms of footage accumulation
for Bolts & Buttah. The Funks and Drew came up and we got
literally 9 minutes of footage. I edited a montage
to some of it, but the mega-hammers are being withheld for the video.
Additional filming was handled by Justin and Addison Funk and the static
angles were shot with a DVX. Enjoy! |

Well
I'm back in Akron and classes started today. After class and work me and
Nick Sturm went skating
at the train ledges. By the way, he calls it "The Shocker" for
good reason - it will shock you. |
-Dave |
| August 14th, 2007 |
Finally
back on my board! Drew got an epic 50-second
long line last night at Imperial that was fun to film. That's it. |
-Dave |
| July 29th, 2007 |
Ok
so I guess now I'm going to start uploading my filming assignment entries
on SkatePerception.
Here's my entry for Assignment
35: Best Long Lense Gap. It's Dave Kraina doing a switch ollie at the
new spot, Freedom Way. Also I added a "clip
of the week" section. This probably will not be updated every
week, but the clip is Nick Sturm 5050ing over the love seat at Imperial.
This is probly going to be the last update for a little bit because I'm
getting my wisdom teeth plucked this Wednesday. |
-Dave |
| July 13th, 2007 |
Wow,
so it has been two months since the last update. Well my excuse
is that a lot of the footage I've been logging is not for view to the
public. I've been helping film for Bolts & Buttah, HCCrew's
latest video, so I can't show most of the footage I film. The video's
going to be even more bonkers than 7 Plys of Love, so sit tight
for it. Last night was a pretty decent session at the Imperial Skatepark,
so I filmed some stuff and edited a montage.
Most of it is fisheye - my apologies - but I think you'll enjoy it. The
song is Tu M'intrigues by General Elektriks. |

So
this morning I barely had enough time to finish editing my final project
for Basic AV Editing. Entitled Against
Your Mind, it is now here for everyone to enjoy (hopefully). First
off, this was edited on Avid, something relatively new to me. I usually
edit on Premiere. There's plenty wrong with this video, for instance the
audio is kind've bad in my opinion. There's also some stuff that I wanted
to put in but didn't have time. You may also notice some stuff in the
2nd view through that you didn't notice the first time. |
-Dave |
| April 25th, 2007 |
Sorry
for not updating in a while, but the weather is just breaking and the
footage is finally starting to come in. A bunch of people from home came
up to Akron last saturday to shred. I filmed most of the time so here's
a little montage of just some
of the footage. Skaters include Brandon Barber, Me, Norm McClements, Zach
Funk, CJ Wright, and Tim Beal. |
-Dave |
| March 26th, 2007 |
So
I got back from spring break yesterday and began editing some of the footage
I collected. There's another B3 Montage up because it rained most of the
days. Also, Travis Miller just finished his site, Skate
Akron, and its sick. There's some really good clips on there so definitely
check it out. |
-Dave |
| March 6th, 2007 |
This
is a site made to catalogue my video portfolio. Most of the videos are
skateboarding related, however I'm going to be uploading other stuff too,
like The Devil Came Up to Akron. In case you are wondering, I
shoot with a Panasonic DVC30 with a Nikon FC-E9 fisheye, however, The
Devil Came Up to Akron was filmed with a Sony HC-32. This site will
be updated regularly with more clips and entries. Thank you for your visit. |
