spunkey_monkey_boy Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 (edited) righto, here at the brain of freeridetrials club we've been a bit laid back so far this year and not been getting much comp organising done. thats about to change and in true us style its going to be something a bit different:explaination of the comp:you are to enter a 2 minute urban trials video. the video must be shot in an urban location, it must be shot in ONE two minute run, you cannot edit it in any way, swap from one camera to another, change from venue to venue (unless you're very quick) etc and there is no point in giving it a musical accompaniment because we won't be listening to it.this is not a competition to find out who is good at video editing etc, its for everyone to enter and its the riding and choice of venue that we're interested in.just to make things as clear as possible here is a break down of the rules:-one entry per person-video shot in one continuos two minute run-no editing, changing of camera etc-no music-must be shot in an urban environment-no rules as to riding style (uci, street etc)-no wheel size rules-one rider per video only-one location only-hard copy to be submitted-free to enter-dont get arrested or in trouble shooting the vid-all entries must be accompanies by riders name, address, bike make and model, sponsors names and lastly the rider category. to keep this a bit easier for us there are only 3 not the normal 5 to choose from, novice,inter and expert.-if we think you've entered yourself into a lower category as a glory hunter we will move you up a category, this is at our discretion and you cannot argue with the judges descision-hard copies will not be returned so please keep a copy yourself-in entering this competition you are agreeing to let freeridetrials_club reproduce your video into a compilation of all the winning videos and use this compilation however they see fit.-all videos must play on windows media playerthere will be 3 video's from each category selected as first second and third and all 12 videos will be compiled onto a cd and each of the winning entrants will recieve a copy. prizes to be announced once we've spoken to our sponsors.all entries must be recieved by midnight sunday 30th april and should be sent to the club via:TOM JOHNSTONEFLAT BA1 BARKHILL COURTI M MARSH CAMPUSBARKHILL ROADAIGBURTHLIVERPOOLL17 6BDOR HANDED TO ME IN A CASE OR PROTECTIVE COVER ON ANY STREET RIDES OR COMPS I HAPPEN TO BE ATany questions please post a reply here but do not clog this thread with rants,gossip,abuse etc. keep it cleannow go use your creativity to find the best location and set of moves to fill 2 minutes Edited March 19, 2006 by spunkey_monkey_boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spunkey_monkey_boy Posted February 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 i cant have you email them to me because university email has a block on it.just burn it to cd and post it ini'll know if its been edited if the riding stops and then re starts or if the location or camera angle suddenly change - anyone doing this will be disqualifiedcheerstom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spunkey_monkey_boy Posted February 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 what so the cameraman can't move around with you?the camera cannot be paused and re started, swapped from one camera to another or stopped and re started in any way. if the camera moves fine so long as it keeps shooting...

PaRtZ Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 the camera cannot be paused and re started, swapped from one camera to another or stopped and re started in any way. if the camera moves fine so long as it keeps shooting...So we can do a move, get off, move the camera and keep riding?Its an odd idea, but I guess its very original. Ill give it a go lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backgren Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 So we can do a move, get off, move the camera and keep riding?Its an odd idea, but I guess its very original. Ill give it a go lol I think yo should have someone else to hold the camera for you, would make it loads easier.It's fine if I enter? Just to check, you might want it to be an UK-only comp.

spunkey_monkey_boy Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 this is open to everyone, itd be nice to see some international riders entering so your more than welcome. just make sure when you post yours off you cover the postage costs properly because i'd hate for it to not turn up.when entries start showing up i'll put a reply in here and edit it every time a new one arrives so everyone can check whether their film has made it it.in reply to partz question about getting off and moving the camera, no problem at all just dont pause it or turn it off, its got to be 2 minutes of continuos un edited video.get those brains ticking over and get some entries in, oh yeah and tell everyone you know about the comp so we get plenty of entriestom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 this is not a competition to find out who is good at video editing etc, its for everyone to enter and its the riding and choice of venue that we're interested in.About time too... nice idea Tom!
