We caught this little interview that Korduroy did with our own Blake Myers recently. As much as Blake hates people ripping off other content and posting it as their own, we thought we would do just that and post up the interview. Afterall, the Koruroy website was voted as best surfing blog in the world this year.
Blake Myers is an up and coming filmmaker out of New Zealand. Growing up in a small town, he picked up a surfboard and camera at a young age. We’ve been following Blake’s work for a while now and from what we’ve seen, he is on his way to great things.
You began making stop-motion films with Legos at age 9. How’d you learn to make them?
I got a stop motion animation set when i was 9 years old for Christmas, I was always obsessed with Legos and was always wanting to make short films. I just started playing around and experimenting!
How did you get started into shooting and editing?
My parents brought me a little handy cam when I was 13 and I started filming my friends at the beach down the road, taking turns at filming and surfing. We would then go back and edit up our little clips. I was always into making surf films and always looked up to Taylor Steele’s films.
What is your blog, Kids With Talons, all about? Who works on that with you?
