Ross Gardner Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) Hey,Basically, Jack filmed and interviewed Joe White and myself to give the you lot a view on the street scene in the south. The edit was also done by Jack. I was put on the spot during the interviews so i did come out with some bollocks lol. Hope you enjoy as it's a bit different and from my point of view, it's sweet The vid also features other riders that were on the ride.VimeoComments would be sweet Edited October 17, 2008 by Ross Gardner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-A Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Nice idea. Its nice to see someone taking a different approach to the usual ride vid. Some clips/sections worked quite well for me. I liked the little bit wit the guy doing that fairly large gap drop on his mod. saying that he though it was on, then showing how he was shaking afterwards.Overall though I have to say it didn't quite work for me. There's a few contributing factors I think. Firstly I think it could have done with a slightly different structure. You had some nice varied interview clips, the guy talking about filming his vid for the internet, guys eyeing up scary moves and their feeling about it, and general people talking about group rides. I think they could have been possibly grouped together more. Maybe more of a mini section on the guy making his vid, slightly deeper into it, you can imagine him talking about how you have to ride differently when your being filmed. This way I think the video would have had a more organised purposeful feel to it. I also think you probably needed more covering shots for the interviews, and to sync the talking to the video, for example when that guy was talking about how scary the drop was, show the close up of his shaking hand then, or maybe a shot of him on the top before the move looking worried. Even the train section intro, if you'd covered some of their talking with a few shots of train arriving/the bikes stacked next to them ready to go etc, then you could have cut into their words and made their speech more concise, and generally given the viewer something to look at as well as something to listen to. I think it would be nice to have had less of the person behind the camera talking. You obviously had a main guy you were following , why not get him to answer in full sentences and therefore there's no need to hear the camera man. He could act almost as a presenter, why not get him to ask the riders how the rides going. It doesn't have to be a formal presenter, it just has a nicer feel I think. Finally I think the video could od with editing down a little, I think you've tried to stretch the footage you've got too much, why not have the video a minute or two shorter, and cut it tighter, with more action.Still good to see someone doing something different. I hope you understand my comments are meant to try and make the next video even better not to insult this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 That was like one of these home videos kids send into news round or blue peter , good drop gap on the mod though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Pearson Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 I actually really liked that. It was nice to see people putting some thought into shooting the video in terms of construction rather than just trying to put it all together with the edit.I want to go ride Southampton again.Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe' Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) Realy enjoyed the different style of the video,Ive been thinking about /wanting to do to something like this myself for agesbut find its hard to work out the right things to ask and hard to find non camerashy riders.Realy did sum up a good days ride. And it was!A step in the right direction for trials video.Keep it going, different riders different locations.

craigjames Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 enjoyed that, defo a bit different to the norm. some good riding in there, think if it was done to its full potential you could get a nice long vid out of it. sometimes i think what riders and other people say makes a ride its not always about the riding.
