The Harley-Davidson Taste of Freedom Tour Stop 1

Matt — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 16:38:36 +0000

Harley-Davidson and Rockstar Energy hired me to direct a documentary series covering their "Taste of Freedom Tour" over the next few months. The Taste of Freedom Tour follows 5 influencers as they learn how to ride a Harley and the adventures they have along the way. Over the course of one summer, these 5 individuals will experience the freedom that only comes with riding a Harley-Davidson.

Influencers
Greg Lutzka -- Pro Skater
Astronautalis -- Hip-Hop Artist
Mike Chiesa -- UFC Fighter
Ray Frenden -- Artist
Cole Rise -- Photographer

The First stop of the Taste of Freedom Tour takes the influencers to Montreal where they attend their very first Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Boot Camp. They learn the basics from headlights to tailpipes. Greg Lutzka heads to the local skate park with fellow influencers to show some love to the local skate scene. Watch the video to see what happens at the first stop!

Color Efex Pro Test

Matt — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 00:28:56 +0000

I've had my eye on the Nik photo editing plug-ins for sometime, and since Google bought the company and put the entire collection on sale for $125 I figure I didn't have any excuse not to buy it anymore. I already love Silver Efex Pro for B&W conversion, but I had never tried out Color Efex pro. I opened up an old photo I shot in Hawaii and took 20 minutes to mess around with various filters. There's so many filters and options within those filters you could probably play with one photo for a month and never get the same effect. It seems like a really powerful tool. The only thing I don't like is that you have to convert your RAW file to TIFF before you can use Color Efex. This means you need to do your RAW adjustments in Lightroom or Aperture before you add your effects. In the end I really like what I was able to create and will definitely be using this program A LOT in the future.

Arbor has been using Real Wood topsheets in their snowboards since 1995. Throughout history, wood and bamboo have been important building materials known for their versatility and strength. Get a behind the scenes look at how an Arbor Snowboard is constructed and incorporates Real Wood into their product.

I worked closely with the Arbor creative team to make this video. Shot in Austria and California, it showcases the process of creating an Arbor snowboard from concept to the snow.
