Creative Expression Idea

Michael Anderson.
Skateboarding.
What is the best way to make a living in skateboarding?

My idea for this is to make a video.
But try to do something different that makes it different than any other skate video, meaning, some thing more creative. Something more than just playing trick after trick after trick.
It's an idea that is open to suggestions.

This relates to my EQ because one of my answers is being a pro film maker, and the ones that make it in the buisness are the ones that get creative with their work, so this would be a good oppurtunity to try it.
