Behind the Camera with Jordan Moss

Jordan Moss, the 22-year-old skateboard filmer from Ajax, Ontario has come a long way in the past few years. He is currently taking Film & Broadcasting at Centennial College and will be graduating in June 2014. In the summer, he had the opportunity to fast track his program—getting a bit ahead of his classmates—and did an internship with Element Canada. When  all that was said and done, Element offered Jordan a job and now he's doing all the social media and web videos for Element Canada. But his client list doesn't stop there. Jordan has done web videos for Transworld, Digital, Blind, Bones, DC, Kadence Canada (Helas), Concrete Skateboard Magazine, SBC Skateboard Magazine, and KingShit Skateboard Magazine. He's also contributed to many different skateboarding videos over the past few years, from homie videos, all the way up to professional featured releases. Some of these include, Blind: This is not a Test, Blind: DAMN, The Bones Video, Top of the World: Aspect:Ratio, KBYE., and State Your Name. 

You can find Jordan's work either on his YouTube channel and Element's YouTube Channel.

Every Ishod Wair part that was released…

Advice for beginners:
Filming skateboarding is not easy, it takes some serious dedication to figure it out… So be patient! And just because you film doesn't mean you can't skate either!
