Barrett Perlman's World

The future is here! Now you can live stream to all your friends and take the world through your life with you using your smart phone and an app called Hang W/. After meeting the creators over the weekend who took me on a test run, I'm a big fan! Now I can show the world what it's like on a film set, photo shoot, or even just walking my dogs. Join me on the future of social media and follow me @ barrettperlman. Learn more about Hang W/ at  www.hangwith.com .

This past weekend was the digital/social media industry's biggest event, VidCon in Anaheim, CA. I went to help work with Endemol Beyond but got the opportunity to walk around and acquire some gear for pimping out my iPhone for all my future recording needs! My favorites include a company called XSories which come from an action sports background and make gear for many of your action sports filming needs. They hooked me up with this dope tshirt along with their Me-Shot Deluxe package. The Me-Shot deluxe package includes and extender pole for iPhone filming along with an iPhone clip attachment AND a remote to wirelessly control your phone and ask it to record. Talk about the ultimate extender arm for shooting your own #selfies or filming yourself, by yourself, but still looking professional and not having that selfie arm. Checkout more of their gear at  www.xsories.com .   I also got a great hook up from another action sports affiliated company (do you see a trend here?) ca

Last night I joined some friends at RedBull HQ in Santa Monica for a screening of Danny MacAskill's RedBull project in Epecuen, Argentina. What an incredible film! Danny is currently in trials for BMX racing in the olympics but is apparently also quite the street rider. His project took him to the town of Epecuen, which had been flooded back in 1985. Only several years ago did the water subside to reveal the rubble of this humble town. Danny went there and OWNED it showcasing some serious skills, cahones, and incredible cinematic filmmaking true to RedBull's standards. Whether you're an action sports enthusiast or not, this video will truly inspire you to follow your dreams and do big things. It reminded me of why I still support action sports and why my niche in entertainment will forever be action sports. Take a look:
