Film Boards – The Art of Rolling Capture

Tony Ennis

Age, current occupation & position?
Age 28, filmer/editor for Deadline and Still Searchin’. I also make web videos for VitalBMX.

What is you current film board setup?
A cracked Krooked 8.5, Indy trucks, and Spitfire Classic wheels.

Is there any particular reason for your choices? Was board and wheel size a factor?
It’s Ty’s old setup but it’s perfect for a filming board.

Tony filming Garrett Reynolds.

Are there any moments you can remember off hand that your board has been invaluable to your filming?
I don’t have a camera bag filled with expensive shit, I have my camera and my skateboard. It is a must have for me since I tend to film a lot of lines. If for some reason I have to film a line on my bike 9 times out of 10 it will end up looking like shit.

Ever have you board broken or stolen while out filming?
left a board at the JC park in Greenville when I lived there. I came back to scoop it but it was out.

For your next film board setup what do you think you might considering changing up?
I could probably use a little softer wheels but I can’t complain. If it’s a wide deck with loose trucks I’m good…Get Crunchy.
