Checkout the dope edit featuring skimboarding at Big Beach in Hawaii and super shredder Austin Keen.
This film and edit was created by Amir Zakeri and he did one hell of a job!
Here’s some words from Amir:
Big thanks to my friend Ian Strickland for capturing the in-water cinematography! Check out his work at http://ianstrickland.com/
This video features Maui and California skimmers and the world champion Austin Keen. Skimboarding is shorebreak surfing on a finless board. It’s much harder than it looks, trust me haha. I shot this over 4 days, 1 day being all golden hour and sunset video. These guys are very talented and I now consider them all friends. This was all shot at Makena (Big Beach) on Maui.
This was shot on my Canon 6D, Ian’s 7D, and a GoPro Hero 3+. I used my Canon 16-35mm 2.8 L Series lens on the Glidecam and 70-200mm 4.0 L on a tripod. This was shot at 1080p @ 30fps and 720p @ 60fps. I edited in Premiere Pro CC. I color graded within Adobe.
The running shots on the sand were done with a Glidecam HD 2000. You can learn more about Glidecam’s in the link below. They take a learning curve, but are amazing once you get the hang of em!
