    Biking Music Video- For Real

    Right wellington guys, its you big chance to get your name in.... my portfolio.
    Some of you may know i am at Natcoll Design Technology and ive been given this assignment to ponder over for the holidays.
    Brief: iSociety:
    Create a short video in which you tell a story that shows how you feel abou the world and your place in it.
    This should relate to something you feel stongly about and which is of importance to you. it might be some aspect of your life, some activity that is important to you, or even be political.

    So.. i was going to do snowboarding, but the mountain is closing soon and wont get any decent camera work done BUT i am saved.

    My Brief: iSociety- The Motorcycling Community
    i was thinking of organising a sunday ride over the rimutakas following you guys with a camera all the way and then finding a place to maybe do some stunts (whitetrash and the rest can show off) and then go to a cafe and pretty much show how great and cool the motorcycling community is.
    My main intention is to just get some cool shots that will work with cool music and all of yers can go nuts and ill just be standing there with a camera.

    So is anyone in? or have any other ideas to add?

    Great idea, but good luck capturing the "sense of community" on video! Interviews with a good cross-section of bikers would be a better way of garnering this, rather than a video about stunting and hooning...

    Motorcycling is about the ride, and your mates, and the ride!

    Hoping for a free feed, aye?

    DN - Have you seen Dr Sardonicus' Mountain Rider project. Contains some of the most beautifully captured footage I've ever seen. The guy has skill, that's for sure. Might give you some inspiration.

    You may want to pick a sub-topic of the "motorcycle community". Trying to cram everything in could either make it look cluttered, or without focus. Where as if you pick something more specific like The Taka's (covering the ride, the random socialising at the top, etc), or following a particular rider/group of riders. This could lead to a more focused story, concise in what it's communicating and therefore more readily understood by someone who up until the time they watch it hasn't really thought much about two wheels.

    I often wonder how many of those who gather atop the Takas have ever ridden down the Featherston side?
