Head over to www.apple.com and check out their story about the making of the "Groundbreaking" DVD titled "Takin' it to the Streets." The piece focuses on Rob Dyrdek and the project's director Kirk Dianda. While "Groundbreaking, The Story of the First Skate Plaza" is a documentary about how the Skate Plaza in Kettering, Ohio came into existence, the piece on Apple's site is actually a story of how the "Groundbreaking" DVD was created, including what Apple tools Dianda and the rest of the DC Films crew used to create the DVD.
The piece gives a good recap of how the whole project went down, from Dyrdek envisioning the Skate Plaza concept to Dianda's creation of the "Groundbreaking" DVD. For you aspiring filmmakers, the story on Apple's site is a solid starting point if you hope to one day put together a film like "Groundbreaking." With Apple backing the Groundbreaking project enough to feature it on their site, it goes to show this concept is a unique and newsworthy one.
