About me

My name is Brent Hyden, I am 22 years old and I reside in Oceanside California as a passionate skateboarder/ skateboard filmmaker. On May 16th 2014 I premiered my first full length film at Transworld which was the Asylum Skateshop Video "Green Eggs and Hammers" all filmed with a VX1000. Below is an article written by transworld the day after the premiere.

After releasing this video I knew I wanted to get started on another video, and my friends and I wanted to call this one "SKATE JUICE" which we have been filming since the Asylum video came out. Check the Instagram account @Skatejuice out to see some recent work and to see some of my short edits directing people to the full links on YouTube.
As I am taking my time on my current film Skate Juice all filmed with a vx1000 / mk1 lens, I still want to be making short films to show people I am still producing videos. To do this I make all of the Product Checkout videos on the Asylum Skateshop YouTube channel, so I went ahead and bought a full HD setup using Panasonic HVX and a Canon 7D with a rokinon lens for fisheye shots. My most recent one is the Bronson Bearing checkout one featuring shop rider Max Mclaughlin : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ne6qmS79emY and I also just recently put together a quick edit with animation for Orion Trucks team Rider Caleb Smith featured here: https://www.hellaclips.com/video/nice-one-bruva-featuring-caleb-smith/ I have completed a Post Video Production Special Effects class focusing in on After Effects  as I want to expand my knowledge within filmmaking, and I am completely fluent with Premiere Pro/ Final Cut Pro. I am also expanding my knowledge within media arts and technology as I have completed an  adobe illustrator class, and an adobe in design class to practice graphic design.In 2015 I filmed Ace Pelka's video part which he then turned pro after for Assault Skateboards:
