Thanks for all the great comments people It was a brilliant day and yes John's speech was amazing! Apparently it had been raining everyday that week, the ride day came along and it was lovely, if a little cloudy lol, so Gav was definitely looking down on us!
Thanks mate, yeah I've got a Canon 7D DSLR now which shoots epic HD video. Very much like Rowan's 550D. Massive wave in the industry for over a year now, people using DSLRs to shoot stuff rather than conventional cameras! However I did spend about a day grading the footage to try and make it look as stunning as possible
