Sydney | 31 October 2013. All Hallow's Eve.

Perhaps it's the nature of things these days, with the internet so readily available, YouTube and the fact that DSLR's are consumer affordable and come equipped with a video function; that emerging cultures such as parkour, freerunning and tricking usually have a videographer/filmmaker (a participant, one that 'knows the ropes') filming their showreels to get their name out there, to show the world what they can do. But it comes to no surprise, as parkour, freerunning, and tricking are considered as creative art forms, that you will find a talented videographer/filmmaker within these groups.

So on All Hallow's Eve, also known by many as Halloween; I tagged alongside Team 9Lives for their Halloween video shoot. The talented filmmaker in question is Ali (Team 9Lives director), who came up with the concept and execution of the day (and we can also now add Make Up Artistry to his portfolio). We also had Simon (class instructor), another talented filmmaker shooting behind the scenes footage and capturing another point of view, Huss (class instructor) operating the Go-Pro footage, Joe (class instructor and Performance Team manager) managing the evening, and Poome (class participant) as make up artist.

It was definitely a physically exhausting day for everyone but I believe that much fun was had during the ordeal event. From the moment I met up with Ali and the team at the beginning to catching the last train ride home, it was filled with non-stop action and antics. You would think that after the exhausting day to evening, that catching the last train ride home would be filled with whispered conversations, silence and sleep but that was definitely not the case at all. That's the beauty of being around this team, the friendships are deep and strong, each individual has something unique that they contribute to make it TEAM 9Lives and there is certainly never a dull moment!
