What did we do yesterday?

THIS:

Brilliant Idea!

I just saw that I've totally forgotten to tell you about my new brilliant idea! One day every week, say Friday for example, I'll upload a very short video from one of my trainings that week in particular. Nothing fancy, just to give you a little insight of what I do during the days.

This idea I'll probably start working on in about a week but if you want to check out edited videos go to my youtube channel:

And by the way, if you got any questions or request just write a comment right here in the blog or go to www.air-wipp.com and write in our guestbook!

What I use!

Hello Everybody!

People keep asking me (Filip, Flippad, Ljungberg) what kind of video editing program I use and what type of computer I work with.

I just bought a new computer. If you’re as nerdy as I am and wants to now all the dirty details, check this out:

The question that is always asked is whether you should use PC or Mac. I believe it’s different from person to person. Either you like to work with PC or you prefer Mac, as simple as that. I’m definitlly a PC guy despite the fact that Mac, and let’s face it, gives you less problems. However I’ve become very attached to my computer and can get my work done faster and more effective on that one.

The reason for my extra ram memory is simple; I use a lot of programs that requires it and the same as for the processor. Many program however doesn’t support quad processor today but I believe it will in the future so I figured I might as well take it now.




When it comes to editing programs there are 4 populare ones:
• Viva
• Final Cut ( Mac)
• Sony Vegas 8.0 Pro
• Adobe Premier

I use Sony Vegas Pro 8.0 C. The program is very easy to use and powerful as well! You can really enter deeply into the program and make the movies look almost professional. The “drop and drag” function in Vegas is extremely good and the program can also handle almost every format in the time line. If you’ve got a movie from you phone, Quicktime, Mpeg etc. you easily just drop it right in there!

Here’s a good link for beginners:

Just finished!

We just finished our show, it went great, got really good response!

We're working on a new pretty fun idea for the blog, tell you more about that later!
got to dash now! Talk to you later!

Back

So we've just arrived home from the meeting with SVT. All the artists that are suppose to perform at the event was there. The meeting was pretty basic and we were told how much money we're suppose to raise 200 million SEK which is about 20 million Euros..that's a whole lot of money! It's not a lot of money per person though so if you do the math, the whole swedish population only have to give about 2 euros and the goal has been reached!

Tomorrow morning (EARLY tomorrow morning) we're doing a show for Sydvatten. Hopefully it'll go well!

Inspiration

Sometimes the lack of inspiration can prevent you from doing what your body is actually able to do. This happens from time to time if you're a traceur. You know that you've got all the abilities that it takes but still you don't know what to do or where to do it.

My first advice is to find cool spots and by that I mean places where you can do many moves. Parkour is mainly being done outdoors which means the possibilities are huge. I for example used to climb a lot of trees and I love lamppost!




Take a walk once in a while and try to see the possibilities! Everything is one big playground, use it!

By the way, later today we'll be having the meeting I told you about yesterday. I'll tell you all about it tonight!

Monday it is

Not much going on today but tomorrow however I'm having a meeting with the swedish tv channel SVT. They're planning an event for charity and wanted Airwipp to be part of some performances. I'll give you specific details on that one tomorrow!

Also wanted to remind you guys about our t-shirts! If you're interested just visit our website: www.air-wipp.com (there are tshirts without the website on the back available)

The Leather Factory

Finally it is here!

just a little tip!

It's hard to get good pictures out of parkour. The fast movements and often, or always, the outdoor locations results in pretty bad pictures. To make things easier of course you first find a good spot to let the camera be put in and then decide from which angle the best shots can be taken..not always as easy as it sounds!


Here's a cool angle and pretty much perfect timing..

With a somewhat good camera one can however get awesome pictures! We also love to use our fish eye for pretty much everything, both movies and photos. Extremely cool effect especially for parkour pictures.


THE FISH EYE!

Sensation white

Last Saturday I took a day off from parkour to do something else; dance! Me and my friends got tickets for Sensation White a long time ago and all of the sudden it was Saturday, the big day! It was incredible, can't put it in words. It was definitely worth all the money that's one thing for sure!

30 000 people having a blast..what a sight!

In 5 days

So I haven't been writing in the blog for 5 days which is pretty bad! It's simply been one hectic week both with work, exercise and spare time.

Worked out in the gym a couple of hours ago and now I just came back from a photo session for Dagens Nyheter. Also remembered that the pictures from one of our latest jobs has not yet been shown! Of course I'll take care of that! It's pictures from the show we did for the Central government administration.

By the way found a really funny website; http://www.traceur.se/
At this website you can find the best places for parkour in Sweden. Simply klick at the map and you'll get pictures of places that are located at a certain spot. Everybody can upload places, simply become a member. Great website for a traceur (parkour practician) if one's got problems finding a good spot for example in a different city than your own.

Here's an example from the website

Good morning!

Here's the video I've been talking about..ten of those every morning sure will cheer one up!

talk to you later!
