Spotlight: Zander Taketomo

(zander takes it upon himself to start the interview)

You do those "interview" questions?

Do I look like fuckin Barbra Walters?

Who the fuck is she?

Damn Zander Takemoto.

Haha, Taketomo!

You know, that one slut from 20/20. She'd grill anybody.

I wish yo, because this would make sense.

Damn, yeah bitch. She'd go toe to toe with Saddam and not give a fuck. She might have did Charlie Manson before, but don't quote me.

Are you serious! Charles Manson? That's that guy who promotes killing and shit right?

Yeah, thats like the motherload of all interviews.  Any attempted 'interview' that I tried would be pathetic next to that one, yeah if you started talking to Barbra Walters about how much you loved your VX I bet she'd punch you right in the heart. I know I would.

Hahahaha!!!

If Barbra Walters punched you in the heart would you punch back?

You should ask normal questions... such as "what do you film with?".

Ok ok, time for serious question time.

It better be, or we are through.

So like what do you film with and shit?

I film with a vx1000  and of course the Century death lens, a few filters are thrown into my bag aswell. at night I use a bescor 50/100 which works out pretty well.  I use Sony Excellence tapes, Prem's on occasion.  And I shit Hawaiian Punch, and poop on occasion

Yeah man, that's fuckin pretty gross.  So what's it like filming in Boston?

Eh, It's straight.  I've lived here all my life so spots get old, but I try not to take it all for granted.  My boy Kevin Coakley whos having a part in my video moved out to Tampa Florida, and he said it pretty much sucks compaired to Boston.  Filming wise, its pretty good.  The variety of spots is pretty tight, we got everything but handrails for the most part.  The kickout situation isnt too bad, we of course don't like it but going to other places it seems like Boston is nothing.  Overall a great city, definately my favorite.

Yeah, not to mention you have a wicked crew of shirtless dudes in 59fiftys that rip, sorry, I had to mention the 59fiftys

Haha yea man, Its hard to find a clip of the kids in my video (John Wisdom, Tommy Wisdom, Kevin Coakley, Terrence Mulhern, and Gavin MacMahon Nolan) not wearing a boston hat.. the key is go to Rainbow at downtown crossing... they have every hat imaginable.  they got the fresh denims and mesh Boston hats, John recently got one with boston in a spinning rim, its tight.

Yeah I just picked up a fresh denim NY hat the other day, but we won't mention that....... Wait, so that'd make us like rivals and shit, wouldn't it?

Haha yea it would, we got the YH hats here, Yankee haters.  they are real dope, same insignia type design too.  my dad grew up in the Bronx tho so even though all my loves towards the Sox, I gotta watch a pussy (Yankee) game here and there

Hey asshole, I can terminate this interview at any moment. So we'll stop the Boston/NY arguement.........  So do you have any videos in the works?

Yea we should terminate this Boston/NY argument... Because its kinda one- sided.  Yea I got one video going on right now, and one future one planned.  The current video is City People,  John (Wisdom) thought of the name and I thought it was pretty tight.  It's going pretty good.  Some heads are throwing in footage from Michigan, San Antonio, North Carolina, and Florida, so its gonna be BeanTown based, but it will still have some variety.

Who's giving up North Carolina footage, or are you just gonna bootleg my shit?

oh yea , Michigan, i dont believe Michigan is a state?

Yeah it is, its a huge state flamer, there are actually 2 parts.

well, John Evans and a couple other filmers are hooking me up with some shit.  Ive been trading some footage aswell so mabe you will be lucky enough to see some boston footage in your video ;-)

No winkey faces asshole, well this shit has gone on way too long.  And I've noticed you've been dropping names like a 14 year old at an Emerica demo so why don't you give your shout-outs and we'll kill this bullshit.

Haha, well id like to shout out to John WIsdom, Tommy Wisdom, Terrence Mulhern, Kevin Coakley, and Gavin MacMahon Nolan (Japan Crew, long story).  The Michigan kids Daryl and Justin in particular,  Zach and John from San Antonio, John from NC, and whoever filmed some of Kevin's tricks in florida.   I'd also like to especially thank Concepts for helpin me out during this video, they know whats up.  Buddha Brown, Cuong Nguyen, Ben from Boston (sorry bro I forgot your last name) and everyone else I forgot which I'm sure I did but I'll just let you edit it later.  Thank you for supporting the cause of the video with the interview. Anyhow, this isn't the Grammy's and thats a long ass list, so I'll end it there

Yeah bitch, wrap it up.

I just did.
