We've been following MLW of Texas Parkour on his journey on Big Shot Live. He won the national competition and headed out to Los Angeles for the experience of a lifetime. In Los Angeles BSL hooked him up with a motion capture company where Matthew got suited up and got to work with stunt coordinator Garrett Warren . Check out the video on BSL here , it takes a while to get to the relevant part. congrats Matthew!

LA/Hollywood was amazing.  As many of you know I was flown out to Hollywood this last Tuesday to be involved in a great opportunity for myself.  I entered into a talent search online.  After three weeks of people rallying together I moved from being top five in the nation each week to being flow out to LA for by BIG SHOT.

The company was called www.bigshotlive.com .  They are a group of really nice individuals.  I think something you wont find to much in Hollywood now a days.  I met with my Big Shot Manger and the company took me to Venice Beach to meet with a producer of Motion Capture, who's current project is the bop-a-lots http://www.bopalots.com/ .  He has also worked on things like Scrubs, Everybody loves Raymond and Entourage.

I was able to audition for him and he said that enjoyed my movements.  He then gave me the opportunity to work this a great company.  I worked with the company on motion capture.  They had a great team and a great acting director. The acting Director was a guy named Garrett Warren.  He has done stunt choreography for Transformers, Beowulf, Crank and Mission Impossible 3.  The list goes on and on!

I got to see the Chinese theatre...saw the stars on Hollywood blvd and unfortunately did not get to climb the big Hollywood Sign.  NEXT TIME!

When all was said and done.  Big Shot Live really just helped so much and was really great.  Though, why am I tell you.  Watch the episode for yourself.  http://www.bigshotlive.com/?item_type=Video&item_id=11000

You should have told the guy off when he said Parkour should be in the x-games. 
 
But you might have not gotten the chance to work with him.
