Milton Keynes Camcorder club were asked to participate in a Folk Archive Art project at the M.K. Gallery, featuring a travelling exhibition of works by artists Deller & Kane. The club was asked to liaise with a local skateboard group, on the making of a film of their activities. Stephen Crawford volunteered to undertake the editing of DV footage shot by Paul deCunha of a variety of local skateboarders, including some startling stunts by his 8-year-old son Alex. Local band “21 Dead” were invited to provide one of their rock compositions for the sound track.

The day of the exhibition was Saturday 17th September, and an early start was made by Stephen, Bill Eustace and Simon Russell to transport and set up Stephen’s edit suite in the Events Room at MK Gallery. A variety of visitors enjoyed watching Stephen demonstrate the editing of the skateboard film, and some good suggestions were made by some of the skateboarders.

The following week our video “Collide” was shown on a large screen at the opening of the new Central Milton Keynes skateboard park.
