When you are lucky enough to travel to Barcelona as a skateboarder, it’s no way you don’t go at once to the world famous spot: The Museum of Comtemporary Art, the MACBA.<\/p>\n

If you have the eye, you will notice quickly, the brazilian skateboard community is quite big here, and the man you will cross everyday on the spots, camera in the hand, is without a doubt the brazilian filmer Marcos.<\/p>\n

He just got out his last Dvd: A Place For Everybody.You can watch it for free here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

here is some talk about him and this last feature.<\/p>\n

Marcos with his brazilian homies<\/p>\n

Hola Marcos introduce yourself please!<\/strong><\/div>\n

Hi, i’m Marcos de Souza filmmaker from Brazil but located in Barcelona, Spain.<\/em><\/p>\n

I know you’ve settled your life in different cities and countries, can you talk about it?<\/strong><\/div>\n

Of course, i lived in United states where i started filming them i moved back to Brazil after 4 years and lived there for a bit, about 10 months, them i came to Barcelona to visit a friend for a couple of week and ended up staying til today wich is been 4 years so far, i founded in Barcelona my new home.<\/em><\/p>\n

Why Barcelona ?<\/strong>
\nCause life here is chill and pretty much all the skaters are here wich it makes easier to make things happen in the skateboarding business. Besides, the skate-market doesn’t work that well you can still get things done if you push yourself and have contacts.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Alexandre Massotti – Switch heel, Barcelona<\/p>\n

Give me 5 good things, and 5 bad things in barcelona<\/strong>
\nSkateboarding, summer, good friends, nice enviroment and lots of positivity, the bad thing would be the thiefs, drugs, bad people, racists and COPS<\/em><\/p>\n

How came the idea of “A place for everybody”?<\/strong><\/div>\n

I used to film for fun and my boys always been so good, and one time a friend of mine open my eyes with the idea of making this video come true, thats where everything started.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Daniel Maco – Frontside flip, Barcelona<\/p>\n

What camera did you use?<\/strong>
\nmostly Panasonic DVX100b, Sony VX1000 and Canon 7D but i also use VX2000 and Panasonic p2<\/em><\/p>\n

What is the best camera for skateboarding for you, HD video camera or Dlsr camera ?<\/strong><\/div>\n

Well.. hahaha, it’s a dificult question, both works just fine, but the HD video cameras are easy to use wich make faster to film skateboarding and you are really trying to get things done
\nthe 7D gives you the extra charm to the footage, depth of field, you can play around and get crazy results if you have the right optics, but it’s a harder camera cause you always have to work the composition of the footage to make it look good, and have knowledge in photography wich i love it, and have to carry big tripods, dolly and stuff like that… so i would say that the both of the system together would make the perfection.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Daniel Maco – Backside heelflip, Barcelona<\/p>\n

Why the brasilian community is so big in Bcn?<\/strong>
\nnot sure…. maybe cause Brazilians love party, beautiful girls and xibeka?!<\/em><\/p>\n

What do you miss from brazil?<\/strong><\/div>\n

REGGAE and surf, my good friend and my family<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Eder Rosa – Heelflip shove it Drop, Barcelona<\/p>\n

Give me 5 brazilians skateboarders underrated?<\/strong>
\nCarlos Iqui<\/a>, Carlos Ribeiro<\/a>, Patrick Vidal<\/a>, Rodrigo Maizena<\/a>, Tiago Lemos<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Something more to say?<\/strong><\/div>\n

Well, thanks you all for watching the video, it was a big pleasure to make happen and give to all for free so everybody can enjoy it.
\nThanks everybody who was involved in this project, you and everybody else that helped us out.
\nthanks God
\nBless up brotha, love positivity and hapiness to all<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
