Feel the Hill Filmmakers Discuss Longboarding

By National Geographic Digital Media Amy Bucci

Because the opening credits roll for Glance at the Hill, the audience is shown someone sawing a kitchen cutting board ray ban sunglasses sale apart and gluing the pieces onto everyday gardening gloves. We later learn these special gloves are very important gear for a unique extreme sport called longboarding.

This film, a People Choice finalist inside the Banff Mountain Film Festival Radical Reels category, was developed by 19 year olds Jeremy Comte and Alexandre Auray. What amazing is that Jeremy and Alex began this project after they were just 17 years.

The film introduces us to a few expert longboarders in every discipline of longboarding: slalom, ray ban aviators sale downhill, footwork, and sliding. Most scenes are filmed in Sherbrooke, Quebec.

Q: Why did you decide to choose this movie?

Jeremy: We started making short films with skateboarding, but then Jeremy started longboarding in elementary school. There weren that numerous movies about it, so we chose to ray ban sale do it. A lot of people associate longboarding with the downhill style. I wanted to show the rest of the styles like sliding and dancing at the same time. Everyone can enjoy longboarding since you can find your personal style.

Q: That which was the hardest facet of making this film?

Jeremy: I am more about the artistic side, therefore it was challenging for me to take into account production. It absolutely was hard to match schedules using the weather, so we were both planning to school regular.

There was one day that started off very rainy, and often we don wish to go skating while it's raining, but I had everyone there, i really said let go and shoot it anyway. We got great shots of longboarding within the water, and then the day turned sunny, therefore it was great.

We felt like we couldn get sponsored because we're so young and now we don have a very name yet. The longboarding community is indeed small right now, it growing exponentially, but there isn a lot of cash for support.

Q: Have there been any accidents with the longboarders while filming?

Jeremy: No, definitely not. Most people think longboarding is not a controlled sport. However it like  the longboarder is within control. They know how to fall. I had been actually longboarding while filming, and there were a number of close calls using the longboarders coming close to the camera. At some point I had to hop over another longboarder with the camera. I am hoping to use that shot within my next film. Most injuries while longboarding are only scrapes. There exists more a fear of cars than falling.

Q: If a person were completely to longboarding what would be your advice?

Jeremy: Start low with small hills and after that take on bigger hills, just set out to slide.

Q: What was your favorite section of making the video?

Alex: I am accustomed to working in the film industry, where it is all totally controlled, like the lights. Within this film you appear and you have to determine what angle might be best, really fast. It genuinely hard to find the proper angle, you become familiar with a lot about cinematography if you shoot longboard.

Jeremy: The full process started from nothing in our town, Sherbrooke, and then a longboarder said "Hey, I understand this guy," and then it just exploded. There exists a social community on Facebook, and they are generally really friendly, rather than competitive. The longboarders dreamed of being in movie to help change the way people view skateboarders, and modify the stereotypes. Are you aware the police may offer you an $80 ticket for longboarding in Sherbrooke? In Vancouver and Montreal they're more tolerant. In small towns there aren't enough skaters, in order that they get a ticket.

Q: How have you film the scene with the really fast downhill longboarders?

Jeremy and Alex: Well, we had been in a car, but we'd a Go Pro helmet camera on one of the skaters. The shots beside them and in front of them are from the car, the shot behind them is from the Gopro camera.

Q: What's your favorite the main movie?

Alex: I like the slalom part, the location where the longboarder is avoiding the cones and so the dancing. It seems great within the camera.

Jeremy: I like the hardwheel element of the film very much. The music was specially composed by Abraham Guzman Rodriguez to the part. I told them it was a very intense part.

Q: What's the difference between hard wheel and soft wheel?

Jeremy: The tough wheel is made from urethane which has a range of 99a, it very difficult. You are going to glance at the ground, so when there is a rock you're going to feel that. It not a relaxed feel. You'll be able to slide a breeze in a long slide. The Lords of Dogtown style was hard wheel. It can make a lot of noise which is more aggressive.

The soft wheel range is 83a, in case you touch it you can feel the difference. If you push for sliding you're going to break faster, you aren gonna slide as much. That a new style they don place their hand on the ground. They refer to it "stand up." Guys that are doing downhill prefer soft wheels since there is more of a sense freedom.

Jeremy and Alex: We have been working on a small project that covers free style skateboarding on flat ground having a Montreal skateboarder, Frank Lavalle, that won plenty of awards. We would really like to do a film on sandboarding, a small sport that is certainly , but on sand.
