Derby Love: a short film about roller derby in the south.

Please share this video with all your friends and embed the video as well. I would like to thank the Lowcountry Highrollers of Charleston SC for helping me with this 6 month project. I would also like to thank Fred Girard, Meta Sapient (who designed the poster) and all of my friends for the support of this project. Please let me know what you think in the comments below and make sure to “Like” the video on vimeo.

ps. The music is from my favorite bands of all times and if you like the stuff you are hearing, go buy a cd or download some tracks off Itunes. I bought every one of their cds.

Enjoy!
Jon

Derby Love Screen Print Posters (photoblog)

I finally got my posters in from TheHalfandHalf from Columbia, SC. They look amazing! They are 18×24 inches, which is a standard frame size, and are 5 colors. They are limited to only 50 prints. They were designed by Meta Sapient. Here’s some detailed shots. If you want to buy one please email me jonstoutphotography@gmail.com.

Derby Love: a short film about roller derby in the south


I have been working on a short film with the Lowcountry Highrollers for the past 6 months. It has taken that long because I have wanted to shoot certain members and at certain places and times. There are a lot of skaters in the film that aren’t currently able to skate (either got injured or whatever during the year) or aren’t currently playing for LCHR, but maybe other teams around the area. It shows a growth in the game and isn’t “bout footage” like usual derby videos. It doesn’t include a single second of “bout” footage. It is all conceptual by my self and I pushed the girls to their max to capture the ideas I had. I combine my love for old abandoned buildings and throw my other love of roller derby into it. Just think back to my “Derby Love” art show I had in Feb, and then add moving images to that. I have also used a lot of my favorite artists in the music for the film and have put it together so that it keeps flowing and keeps you interested.

The details:
The short film “Derby Love: a short film about roller derby in the south” will premiere at the Olde North Charleston Picture House (4820 Jenkins Avenue in the Olde Village area, near EVO etc) on October 20th at 8pm. I advise you to get there earlier so you can get a good seat. I will also be selling 18×24 screen print posters of a different version then the top image, that includes the full actor and music credits. Those will be 4 colors and printed by Columbia’s theHalfandHalf. The poster was designed by Meta Sapient (who also does all my sticker and t-shirt designs).

After my film debuts, LCHR will be showing “Derby Baby” (the national documentary about the rollerderby movement). Check that out and then head over to The Sparrow at 10pm for the after party.

The Short film will then be available online, here and on my vimeo page.

RSVP to the Event for “Derby Baby” and for “Derby Love” on Facebook – here.

Revisiting the Old Pool (photoblog)

I first happened upon this old swimming pool a couple of years back. I finally made a return to see what kind of progression nature has taken on it. I spotted an interesting moss growing on top of the stagnant water, creating wave type patterns all around. These are my shots from today:

Exploring around South Carolina July 2012(photoblog)

I took a little ride out of Charleston,SC and got up with a couple friends and made my way around some sweet old buildings. I don’t want to disclose the buildings names and locations, but you should be able to figure out where they are if you try hard enough. Here are my favorite shots (more after the cut):
