We Need Your Help Naming Something
POSTED ON August 11th, 2009 BY Calvin
Anyone have any ideas for a catchy name for a short b-boy documentary?
As you can probably tell from some of our features, we’re big fans of puns. Toprockumentary, cockumentary, spinema, and More-something have all been suggested.
If we use your suggestion, we’ll send you some free gear or buy you a meal or something.
Thanks!

I think Cockumentary would be the absolute worst choice we could make.
cant say im sure what your asking for, a title for a ducumentary or a label for bboy rockumentarys?
hmm if labels maybee
Break flick
Spinographic films
RawMotion Pictures
I guess I mean a name for a specific line of short b-boy-themed documentaries. As in, “Check out our new ____!” Good question, and nice suggestions.
i got one “rocksteadumentry”
“rocksteadamentry” thats what i meant
The BBoy
what about “Rock Superstars”
or “You wanna be a rock superstar?”
How about BreakTakes? Or Breaksticles. One of those is a joke, but I won’t say which one.
Just to keep the list updated: homie James gave me the idea for “Reels of Steel” — and how about “Spin Flicks”?
Brokedown Stylus
How about… “Moving Pictures?” You know, like movies. From there you could go into… “Pictures in Motion”? Or, you could take some actual film terms that sound like they’d be relevant to breakin’… Like, “Overexposure”. On one hand, it’s when there’s too much light in a shot. In terms of breakin’… We all know what it means in that regard.
I’ll post up more if I think of them.
Another thought, you could always go the Black Star route… “B-Boys Will Be Boys”
Raw Sole or Sole Wars
For Korean related things:
I’ve Got Seoul : The Story of a Korean B-Boy
Seoul Power : The Story of A Korean B-Boy
General:
B-Boy > Breakdance
B-Boy =/= Breakdance
Dancing W/H.E.R.
Look at H.E.R. Dance
Cleanin’ The Floor
On the good foot
or
My sneakers weigh a ton :)
Or, the ever so corny, Lords of Cardboard.
bboy or bsquare
Stephanie: spinematography
well we need a general idea of what the documentary will include to give a really good name suggestion?
Everybody: we really appreciate all your input. Best readers ever!
Natein: it’s going to be a general name for a series of video features that we’re doing. All of them are going to be about b-boying in general, with interviews with b-boys and b-girls from all over. Something catchy where you could say, “Hey, check out our new ____.”
i think you guys are talkin bout a sumthin lik a all around term for documentaries, lik how we call short clips of us trailers… so if thats the case i say jus go with break-a-mentaries

Yo, how about something simplistic and to the point?
Breakementary.
seriously. This is perfect for the title of ALL short bboy flicks.
“Have you seen the breakementary, THE PILOT?”
“Yo! Just saw this entire crew bite Kid David in this breakementary last night.”
“I just saw Calvin Son in this Breakementary called THE POINTER!!! It was really touching…moved me in a completely non-homosexual way…”
Breakementary
what do you do to new shoes? You break em in.
what do you do to your new crew members? You break em in!
i think this works. BreakAmentary works too i guess…
wooooooooow….
most definitely did NOT see the post b4 mine…
no disrespect. I’m just dumb and unobservent sometimes.
