This week at ProPEL has been an interesting one to say the least. After spending some time behind the lense this past weekend, I came to school Tuesday, with alot of footage and I wasn't to sure what I was going to do with it. The result, a video that has been picked up by four respectable Kiteboarding websites and couple more that may happen soon. I really believe that this video is some of the best filmmaking work I've done so far. I set out a goal of 1k views. Three days in and I am at 639. I'm honestly not sure if I will reach my goal but I bet if I had taken more time planning out my shots while I was filming, I would have come out with a much more professional final product and 1k views would not be a goal, it would be an expectation.
I have some big ideas bouncing around in my head for my next video. This time I'm getting away to an off the beaten path tropical paradise, South Padre Island Texas. Island is a bit of a stretch, Sandbar would be a more accurate description but it definitely has that tropical vibe. It is also one of the best Kiteboarding spots in North America in my opinion (I have been to what people claim to be the best but I enjoy my time at South Padre much more. On and off the water). I have a week to film as much content as I can, and if I stay focused, work hard and really think things through, 1k views won't be a goal, it won't be an expectation, it will be a disappointment. Expect to see some surfing, along side a more "Lifestyle" focused video and not so performance oriented. Here's a link to my latest video if you haven't already seen it. https://vimeo.com/140123169 Until next time, Cody Potapoff
