*Words from Santa Cruz Skateboards Product Manager - Paul Merrell* The only thing that’s guaranteed in life is death and taxes…Video deadlines are open to a host of unforeseen dramas that can turn even the best laid plans to shit in seconds...
“Hey Paul, I’ve got bad news, yesterday while filming my last trick for the video I blew out my knee”...E-mail received from Eric Dressen October 5th. This news of Eric’s knee followed news from V-Day senior filmer, Bart Saric, who a few weeks prior broke his collar bone and thumb in a high-speed follow-filming crash while getting Brian Lotti’s interview & footage. The only “good” out of this was Bart was man enough to sacrifice his body to save his camera.
Add to these a frenzy of last minute communication trying to get to the bottom of the music industry’s legal-ease concerning the network of charges paid out to vocalists unions, pensions paid to the estates of dead lead singers, musicians union fees, new use fees and a host of other BS charges and it becomes painfully obvious why most video productions never get legit permission to use music and why scheduled release dates for videos are pointless. “V-Day will now be released December 1, 2006…the good things in life are worth waiting for. “V-Day” will include a bonus Soundtrack CD featuring “Cacti Widders” (Tom Knox on drums), “The Highway Murderers” owned by Jason Jessee, “The Adolescents”, “The Rabies”, “Excel” and others to make this a must for every skate movie Collectors Library.
