Sports bike and stunt needed for Action Movie being shot in Wellington in May/June

[Engineered Films]

Hi everyone, I rode a black Yamaha R1 when I was living on the Gold Coast in Aussie and I hugely love sports bikes!

I am shooting an Action Feature Film in Wellington in May and June this year (2011)

the website for the film is www.contractkillersmovie.com

there is a trailer for the short film version I made in Perth which shows the tone of the film.

I had to sacrifice owning a bike to make this feature length version but I really really really want to have one of the main characters still ride a sports bike so I can passionatley present just how awsome, slick, cool, and sexy sports bikes are to the general public.

Im looking for a sports bike owner in wellington that hears this call out and wants to help represent!

The most prefered bikes are black or dark coloured R1s or CBRs or Ninjas or Aprilas etc... but would consider anything if it fits the look of the character... who is the guy in the poster on home page of website... would definately be cool to have a blinged out/customised bike.

The details can be discussed in depth for owner peace of mind... ie only the owner would ride the bike dressed in same clothes as the actor... then actor gets on and off the bike while it is stationary etc etc

It would be a couple of night shoots and we can work around your availibility.

An exciting shot I am keen to achieve is a wheelie from take off with the camera low angle in front and slighty to the side of the bike and pulling backwards... so the big becomes a giant to the audience as it takes off... this would be the only stunt and will be done in a controlled environment.

More exciting stunts can easily be added if a bike owner out there is keen to perform for the Action Movie.


Cheers guys

Hope to hear from ya

Wow, no takers!!

I would have expected this to be a busy thread with plenty of volunteers. Shame.

Come on someone with a black sports bike must be keen to help out for 15 seconds of fame.

I would offer mate if I still had my black 636

Good stuff. Just what this dude needs. A local holigan with a selection of black R1s at his disposal. Oops, bad choice of words there Jimmy, don't take me literally.

I'll do it!! But....

- My bikes blue
- I live in Auckland
- It's a 250
- It's not very fast

But what i can do is throw some paint on there, ride down to welly's, put a 1000 sticker on my bike, put a screaming demon muffler on it to make it sound fast and we will be away laughing.

He wanted a stunt rider , not a stunted rider.

My mate Stefan from Wellington Riders should be able to help you out - he has a very cool black '08 R1 with a whole bunch of mods. Just hit him up on the Wellington Riders facebook group page

As for me I have a limited edition silver with black flames '05 R6 and an '09 R1 with incredibly loud debaffled GYTR pipes.. (blue and white)
