Hermes Fingerskate

Xiomara, one of my students at CUNY Hostos in the South Bronx, sent me this link. I like this a lot, have seen some of the fingerboard stuff before and discovered the Hermes site which was the best thing I gained from watching the video.

They are doing some interesting things on their site so check it out. Couldn't embed the links here so they want you to trip around and explore on your own.
Liked the "inside my grandmother Paulette's wardrobe", part of the story-time with Colombe series. "My sweetheart has exactly the same tie as you" is another that looked cool and made me want to watch more. The way they are encoding and displaying their video is sumptious. Love the quality and simple shots. I blogged about this back in December 2009 focusing on a Japanese artist, Masashi Kawamura as he did an ad for HTC and it was really well done.

Besides that, I started clicking around YouTube and found a number of videos about the fingerboard competitions and was a little freaked out the energy spent on a set up like in this video. Wow. I hope my kids are riding the board with their bodies and not their fingers as it seems pretty insane........
