Roller Derby Montage

A Glimpse at My Life as a Derby Girl

I play roller derby for the Kansas City Roller Warriors Junior Team (here's their site if you're interested: http://www.kcrollerwarriors.com ) and a few weeks ago one of my coaches asked if I could make a promo for our team. So I got my best buddy and together we tried to make something pretty cool.

Many issues arose in the pre-production stage such as me planning to one song and then a few days later finding out there was a vote for a different song (we ended up not using either in editing) as well as a limited time for filming. During the actual shoot, I found out the skaters had not been properly informed of my plan, and with only a two hour time frame, which was also practice time, I threw out most of my plans and we just went with whatever we could get. In editing, we had to somehow figure out how to turn our footage into an awesome promo, as well as a montage piece for our film class. We edited for awhile, chose a completely different song, and this is what we came up with. It was really fun to make. Hope you enjoy!
