Media Medium: Randy Taylor

Here's the final part of the Media Medium series with Randy. The Don likes shooting/filming and like to give it his all. I know he has some string feelings on the whole web thing.

1) Web picture or print picture? Print

2) Why? Worth it, but slide shows are sweet too! Print though for sure.

3) Who's your favorite photographer to shoot with? Walter Pieringer! No doubt.

4) Film for a web edit or dvd? Not web.

5) Why? Not into the wed video idea. I think its lame. If you like watching BMX videos then you'll want to use a DVD to see it. Simple. If the video is intended on being a "web" thing then....man forget this. What else can be said here? Ride more, Watch less.

6) Who's your favorite filmer to shoot with? George. He's a good buddy, great Filmer and super rider. haha

As reported earlier in the week, Randy snapped his ankle at the weekend and he's going in for surgery at the weekend.

Media Medium: Ryan Smith

As well as clockin' clips Ryan also spends time behind the lens. Here's his take on the whole thing.....

1) Web picture or print picture? Print picture

2) Why? The physicality of a print picture in my mind is worth far more than the more temporal existence of web photos, especially if it was shot on film!

3) Who's your favorite photographer to shoot with? I have quite a few... Walter Pieringer, Sandy Carson, and Devon Hutchins

4) Film for a web edit or dvd? DVD

5) Why? I prefer DVDs just because I've experienced the labor involved in their creation. I feel like there is more room for visionary expression and more thought goes into them. Also, there is nothing like getting the newest DVD and sitting down on the couch with your friends to watch it. Web videos have had such a significant impact on the consumption of BMX riding. People need to sit back and take their time to create something that truly stands out and is enjoyable to watch.

6) Who's your favorite filmer to shoot with? Joe Simon and George Boyd
