I also have an idea of making a short video of skateboarding.  I have taken inspiration from an add of one of my favourite skaters of all time, Geoff Rowley.  Like this one it's going to be in black and white with a hint of colour in places.  Again, it's a simple, yet very effective idea, in my opinion.  Here's the link.  Enjoy.
