Sequencial Evidence?

Growing up looking at magazines of really sick sequences was always a treat as a young skateboard kid. Now that I have more knowledge of the subject, there's a lot to know about sequence photographs, especially skateboard sequences. (is there a need for sequences for anything other than action sports?)
First of all back in '00 when I picked up my first mag, something I did not know at the time was that everything was shot using film; not just sequences, but virtually all the photos! (I also knew nothing of photography) I'm a digital kid, and for anybody starting photography at this point is probably gonna go digital. Sequences in the days of film paid more. Now they pay less. film vs digital.

Another thing about sequences that kind of makes them lame to a certain extent is why don't you just film the damn trick! But then again individual frames throughout a trick can be sometimes even better than watching it in motion.

Basically I'm just writing crap to waste your time. These sequences aren't all that good, but they are of good friends of mine and I had fun shooting and editing them! This is what I came up with for 3 frames per second. I'll make it easier on your eyes and stick to stills from now on.



These here are of Andrew Wilcox, yes, same trick same spot. Comment and tell me which one looks better.

i'd probably like the b&w better though if it was lighter. and if google chrome didn't decide to be a bitch and not let the picture become enlarged.

but they're all good. glad you've posted again
