Dream Lens 是由现居上海的滑手Justen和好友们共同用手机拍摄的一部滑板短片，片子有好玩好看的动作，也有很多奇怪乱豆的植入，搞笑而又不缺创意。这回Dream Lens也是通过我们来做全网首映，同时我们也是对Justen做了一次简单的采访。

1.关于“Dream Lens”，你是什么时候开始的这个项目，这个视频又是关于什么的呢？

Ryan Nimmo和我是在最近才开始的这个项目，差不多1月中旬的时候。片子的构架很简单，就是和好友们拍些滑板和发生在我们身上好玩的东西。因为我们也没有什么器材嘛，就用手机拍拍玩，所以更多的是和好友们一起边玩边拍。

2.为什么要叫Dream Lens？会有第二部片子发出来么？这个会成为你们的季度或月度拍摄内容么？

其实片名是从这个镜头研发出来的，有一次Johnny Tang给了我一个超级鱼眼来玩，我在这个镜头下感觉怪怪的，看起来像在做梦一样，而且在上海滑板感觉也不错，就像在做梦一样。所以我们就叫这个片子Dream Lens了。我们已经在制作Dream Lens第二集了，但估计不会把这个做成一个季度或月度的栏目就是什么时候拍好剪好什么时候发出来，不过肯定是有连续性的。

3.这部片子是用手机拍摄完成的，花了多久剪辑好？有没有好的建议给其他滑手如何用手机拍片？

我负责拍摄，Ryan负责剪辑，我们会在他剪辑的时候在一起碰一下，交换些想法和建议。Ryan在用iMovie剪辑，这个是非常容易简单的一个剪辑方法，当然用其他类似的免费剪辑软件也可以，现在手机短片很容易拍好。

4.这部片子的背景音乐的选择很有品味，这些歌是哪里搞的？背景音乐都是什么呢？

我们是在bandcamp上找到的，这是一个独立音乐人网站，有很多很新很独立的音乐，我们不想用其他Video里用过的音乐，因为已经听得腻到不行了。

背景音乐：

Track 1: CVLTVRE – ABCXYZ

Track 2: Nardo Akaru – OPEN メール 「ｐｒｏｄ．ｎａｔｅｍｃｍｉｌｌｉ」

Track 3: Nardo Akaru – 28MANSIONS メ 「ｐｒｏｄ．ｓｍｏｋｅｆｉｌｌｅｄｄｒｅａｍ」

Track 4: Blank Banshee – B:/ Start Up

5.2015的上海滑板有什么新起始吗？你是怎么看的？

上海这几年滑板还是老样子吧，但是可能保安会更严厉一些，但是今年应该会有很多上海滑板影片发布，Jay Maedor马上有新片发布了，还有ICONX的Brian Kleiber也在做新的Video，还有Edward Cui也是一直在为滑板拍照，拍视频。上海的曝光率会在今年有很大提升。

1.About “dream lens”,when did you start the project and whats the video basically about?

    Ryan Nimmo and I started the project very recently, about the middle of January.  The premise is simple, just having fun with the homies and filming all of the ridiculous things that happen.  We have been able to film clips super quickly, especially since there isn’t any sort of standard set for how good our filming or tricks are.  It’s just about fun.  So we are able to get footage quickly.

2.how did the name “dream lens” come up?is there a “dream lens” Vol.2 coming up?and is it gonna be a seasonal or monthly project?

    The name is derived from the lens mostly, haha, Johnny Tang gave me a junky super fisheye for my phone.  It makes things look super trippy, sort of like a dream.  And skating in Shanghai is so good, it’s also like a dream.  Hence the name “Dream Lens.”  We are already working on Volume 2, it’s about halfway done.  This will be an ongoing project with no deadlines.  Whenever we have enough footage we will release another “Dream Lens.”  The dream is continuous.

3.It’s basically all cellphone footie,does it take a long time to edit the video out?any tips for how to edit a quick homie footage?

    I’m in charge of the filming mostly, Ryan handles all the editing.  I am with him during some of the editing to change things and bounce ideas off each other to get some dope shit rolling.  But he uses iMovie, it’s a super simple program and it allows you do quick changes to any video footage.  As far as tips, just get a cheap/free video editing program and use it.  There is nothing special needed when editing simple footage, just do it!

4.great soundtrack selection in the footage,where do you get the songs?and any suggestions for what songs to use in skate videos?

    The music we used was all found on bandcamp.  It’s a site that features mostly independent artists.  If you want some unique music definitely use a site like this.  Otherwise you may end up using a song that has been edited into 100 other videos.

can you supply us the soundtrack names?

5.Shanghai Skating 2015, what’s new? and any new movement we should notice?

   Shanghai skating is pretty similar to what it has been for so many years.  The only noticeable thing is the security forces are becoming a bit stricter around the city.  Overall Shanghai skating is relatively hassle free compared to places in the West, such as the U.S.A., so it’s not a big deal yet.  As far as new stuff, just keep an eye out for new video clips coming out of Shanghai!  Jay Meador is working on an awesome video right now.  That should be coming out in the very near future.  Brian Kleiber with ICONX has been filming a ton as well. Also, photos, people like Edward Cui have been killing the game on photos recently.  Shanghai is full of skateboarders and people who want to document it.  Keep an ear to the streets!
