Video Production

For the final assignment for Video Production we have to keep a ‘behind the scenes’ diary for our video piece. Mine will follow the journey of my new piece ‘Exit Grom Stage Left’. The ‘Grom’ part is a reference to grommet which in the surf world is one of those young hyperactive surfer dudes that surfs anything all the time no matter how good or shit the conditions maybe and believes it to be awesome. The whole ‘Exit Stage Left’ thing came from wanting to look at the stage in a grom’s life were they are beginning to make that transition to just another surfer. It’s a critical time not only because you need to decide how to work surfing into the next stage of your life and where you want to take your surfing, you’re also trying to decide where to go to college, what to study and usually studying your butt off to get there while all you really want to do is surf your butt off.
