It’s easy to over think when problem solving. In the video below, I never would’ve developed a world of cardboard skate ramps as a set and then shot it this way. My first thought would’ve been to build all the ramps and paint them green. Then, do a ton of post work to make it look as if they were skating on cardboard ramps. I don’t think that solution would be nearly as effective as what they have shot in-camera. Â Plus it would take some serious post-production time.) This is B-roll footage from a skateboard video competition held each year by Transworld. The sets are fantastic and the filming angles are great. Check out this video. I can’t help but appreciate how much was done in pre-production rather than post! Imagine trying to pull this off with CG.
DON’T OVER THINK IT

Learning to work smart/efficient is one of my big focuses right now! Problem solving is a HUGE asset to someone in the creative field, because we are always trying to do something that hasn't been done in this exact way before.
Haha, thanks for the late night inspiration!
