Here's an extended intro for a project I directed, shot and edited for Empire BMX. The project was revolved around the extremely young and talented generation of BMX'ers in the Austin, TX. area. The evolution and widening exposure of BMX has created an energy put towards leveling the playing field of bike to rider ratio amongst smaller and younger riders enabling them more ease at handling a bike and increasing their chances of doing the same tricks as their 20" BMX bicycle mentors. With a project already in the books including another level of upcoming riders alongside Empire BMX we were excited to push the concept and create something to showcase the amazing progress of our shared passion of BMX.

To cut to the point and maintain a sort of intense viewer engagement the intro used was just that so the raw action could be viewed. (The used intro is also included in this video)

*some final editing and special effects treatments excluded in extended version.

Actors: Tom Dugan, Matt Hildebrand, Michael Bowen and Stone Kepler.

Music: Sugar Candy Mountain "Echolalia"
