Airwalk-Media anunta un parteneriat cu organizatia The Elder Gods

Airwalk-Media anunta noul parteneriat cu organizatia The Elder Gods, cea mai prolifica din Romania in ultimii ani.

O parte din parteneriat consta in prezentarea noutatilor in exclusivitate de catre Airwalk si coverage la cele mai importante concursuri nationale si probabil, internationale. Se vor face filme cu cele mai frumoase si spectaculoase faze ale echipei de Counter-Strike cat si interviuri la cald, de asemenea.

Cosmin “Xeno” Mangri, directorul de marketing al celor de la Airwalk-Media declara:

“Suntem foarte incantati de acest parteneriat si de revenirea pe scena de gaming a celor de la TeG. O echipa care a pus Romania pe harta Gaming-ului International.”

Dragos “KrieppeN” Karner, manager general la The Elder Gods:

“Acest parteneriat marcheaza un nou inceput pentru noi si o noua achizitie pentru Airwalk-Media. Ne bucuram ca avem de partea noastra o comunitate de nivel inalt. Speram sa fie un parteneriat de lunga durata.”

Airwalk Media’s New Wallpaper

Inspired from one of the SK Gaming’s wallpapers, Airwalk Media’s 3D artist s1dK with the help of our CEO, KrieppeN, created one for us too, available in different resolutions.

Maybe this is not the best way to make things, but our artist worked on it pretty much. He built it from nada.
So, with these said, after some preliminary versions, the final one looks like this :

Considering that one resolution is not enough, KrieppeN and s1dK decided to make other versions in a bigger resolution. Check them out :

We have to admit that our 3D artist has some talent. If you ask me, I would say “absolutely incredible”.

Let’s give it up for s1dK and KrieppeN !

distwau returns to Airwalk Media

While everyone was wondering what happened to distwau since he disappeared from the picture, leaving no trace behind, Airwalk Media comes forward today with fresh news about him.

A little while ago, Airwalk Media was the center of some controversial discussions regarding the leaving of their former designer.

Asked about this, Airwalk’s CEO stated:

We cannot uncover all that happened in the past and this is why I cannot say much about this so called conflict. All I can do is to assure the audience that what happened in the past stays in the past. We have only positive thoughts regarding the future and everyone involved in Airwalk Media project is working hard to fulfill them.

You can realise now that nobody did anything on purpose. After great stress gathered from daily hard work, things start to collapse sooner or later.

Coming back to the original story, distwau was brought back because of his wonderful artist skills and for the great things that he is able to do in certain programs, such as Adobe Photoshop. No one ever doubted his capability for designing and for this very reason he had to come back one day.

Airwalk Media also sat down with distwau, to see what he has to say. This is what he stated :

I am glad to come back to Airwalk Community with new ideas and maybe even better ones than before. As I can see, there are many new colleagues, but fortunately for me, I know most of them. I hope to do a good job and not disappoint my “boss” aka KrieppeN. Thank you Airwalk and hope for the best.

Let us welcome him with an Airwalk style ! Put your hands together for distwau !

s1dK returns to Airwalk Media

One of the Airwalk’s moviemakers who stood united with us approximately 2 years ago, in one of our worse period, has come back once again to be a helping part in the days that are ahead of us.

Nedelca “s1dK” Laurentiu Iulian will be replacing our old member Swp, whose services are no longer needed within our team. Sandu ‘Swp’ Andrei has been totally removed from Airwalk Media’s staff due to his lack of interest in continuing the journey with us and because at one point he would have been just another burden to carry on our shoulders.

s1dK was brought in Airwalk Media in the year of 2007 from our rival community, IGG-Studios. In that time he was a young moviemaker, eager to experience anything that can be experienced. He had a different style than the others, always trying to move away from the ordinary, thing which made us feel like he has a place in Airwalk crew.

The head honcho of Airwalk Media, Dragos “KrieppeN” Karner explained his decision of bringing back s1d :

s1dK?! Was a good filmmaker and he’s a great 3D developer but he had a bad temper in the past that made me cut the collaboration between Airwalk and him. Because we’re not living in the past, the misunderstandings we had won’t affect the future. That’s why I see a brightful Airwalk with some major changes in near future. Follow us on Twitter and stay updated! You’d be surprised how many things will come up!

s1dK told Airwalk-Media.com some words about his arrival in his new team:

We both know that your previous departure from Airwalk wasn’t really made in a peaceful way. We had our misunderstandings and for this reason I’m sure that both Airwalk Media and you have some regrets. How do you view that situation now ? Is it all history for you ?

I’m sorry for that understanding in the past, but that was something minor and I don’t look in the past, so it’s history for me. Now I hope we will understand each other better and that we will do lot of things together. I’m glad to be back at Airwalk community.

You sure said it all. When you first saw our offer, which was the first thing it poped into your mind ?

I thought the time has come to try again to work for something, not just for me and to use my knowledge to help again.

Have you ever thought that a day when you will work in Airwalk Media will come again ?

Honestly I never thought or even hoped to be back in Airwalk Media or in another community because I was just fine alone. So for now, let’s see what will happen this time.

What do you hope to accomplish with your returning ? You have big plans, crazy projects or you will take everything at a time ?

This is short a one. I want to give all the best of me.

Any final thoughts you would like to share ?

Hmm yes. There is something I want … :P I want to make my own logo with Airwalk :> if that is possible :))

sky joins Airwalk Media

One of the finest young moviemakers from Romania, sky, has joined up with  Airwalk Media and will reinforce our community in the upcoming future.

Ghioc “sky” Madalin has become the newest acquisition in our family and therewith the youngest among us. At only 16 years old, sky managed to accomplish what others couldn’t: to have in his portfolio the Airwalk Media’s name printed.
With all the emotions between him and his desire of wanting to work for Airwalk, Madalin managed to confront them and soon after he found himself knocking at our door, asking for a spot in the family.
By that time, Airwalk Media already knew what are his skills and what he is capable of and without any other further complex investigations, we decided to give him the chance to enjoy the world with his creations, from our yard.

Asked for his thoughts now that he is in Airwalk Media, he stated :

“ I started the moviemaking thing in the autumn of 2007 and after that I started to grow stronger and stronger, until I realized that I’m ready to take my chances in a community like Airwalk Media.
As a member here, I don’t have big plans, I just want to do my job, if you know what I mean.
I hope that I will let you down as long as my movies will make the difference and will meet Airwalk Media’s standards”

The news spread out pretty fast and by the time we were negotiating with Madalin, many people found out about Airwalk’s move. This was the start for some highly controversial discussion in our moviemaking scene, people stating that he is too young to make it in this community and that he doesn’t deserve a place in Airwalk Media.

After some time and after the scene saw the latest creation signed by sky, aDa’s trailer, things started to clear out and all those challengers acknowledged sky’s talent.

Florin “boom.dll” Ilies and Stoyanov “st0ka” Stoyan have been AirWalked!

Airwalk Media is proud to announce it has made one of its biggest steps forward by adding two talented and dedicated members to its current crew.

A few days ago we decided to recruit new members in order for them to support our filmmaking team, since some of the former ones were kicked out due to their inactivity and lack of dedication to the community.

As some of you might already know, Airwalk Media has had to deal with some major problems in the last 2 years and the credibility of our community began to decline. We still think about the past and we ask ourselves how come we have let something like that to happen. We are aware that the real world is a cruel world and every mistake leaves its mark, however we assure you that it will not happen again. This community was going through some harsh times, and like I said before, this thing did cost us a lot.

We are here today to make one thing clear: We will not abandon the ship and Airwalk Media will never die.

Getting back to our head news, I have the pleasure to announce that two of the best moviemakers from the Kreedz scene have been airwalked.

The first one is from Romania. He started editing some years ago, but he reached the peak when he decided to start making Kreedz battle movies. Soon after, he started with bigger and bigger projects (such as the Kreedz Moments project, which gathered some of the finest trick jumpers from the Kreedz scene), which led to his international notoriety as one of the best film editors. We are truly happy to welcome Ilies “boom.dll” Florin.

As his first reaction, he stated :

‘Sup everyone! My name is Ilies “boom.dll” Florin, and as it seems I’m the new addition to the Airwalk Moviemaking Community! Lucky me, eh ? Well what I wanted to say is that I hope this turns out to be a great opportunity for me to show you guys my editing skills. Peace!

The second filmmaker is from a country that has an opening to the Black Sea too, and from where the Manchester United’s complete centre-forward Dimitar Berbatov originates. Yes, I’m talking about Bulgaria.

He amazed the Kreedz audience with movies like Sambb - Flying steps and k3g & akkord - Basics and beyond, movies with a high and new level of editing. He is also known as a guy who likes to push everything to the limit, in order to create something new, while avoiding overused concepts.

We are, of course, referring to Stoyan “st0ka” Stoyanov.

Asked about his thoughts, he also stated :

Hello, guys! I’m Stoyan “st0ka” Stoyanov and as you may figured already, the new addition to Airwalk Media. Coming from a KZ moviemaking background and mostly known on the kreedz jumping scene, as part of the KZ-Pictures crew, I do hope I’ll come up to my new team’s expectations. My main goal is promoting Airwalk Media, as well as Kreedz Climbing itself hence some “extraordinary” movies will be produced by AM. Guess I’ll be seeing you around, so bye, bye for now!

General Manager at the Airwalk-Media.com homepage Ovidiu “CyclopP” Broasca has been asked for an official statement regarding the two new acquisitions. This is what he said :

Airwalk Media is aware of what the Kreedz scene means nowadays. This was one of the reasons why we started to negotiate with two guys who have something to say in KZ, because by having them in an important moviemaking community, they can promote the Kreedz scene from another level. Other than that, we are truly happy to have them on board, because our future looks bright and because Airwalk Media got stronger.

For the moment, Airwalk Media’s crew looks like this
