Straight To BlackOut Trailer from BURNS.R % on Vimeo.
Trailer for Straight To BlackOut (Gear For Torque) moped rally put on by the Puddle Cutters moped gang, who are the Portland, OR branch of the national Moped Army. The footage was taken last week during a ride out to Washougal river for some icey swimming and rock diving. I hung out the back of the Geo Tracker filming, while June held my waist so I didn't fly overboard.
Eric screams at the dinosaur ice cream truck as we were trying to keep up with the pack.
From what I was told, the plan for the mini trailer was more or less a montage of footage but there ended up only be one day available for shooting video since I was in the middle of moving. I had tons of the FREQ TEST recordings so I layered some of those clips over the moped shots to spice it up.
The shot of Miguel's Peugeot 103 near the end was taken through a huge lens that I ripped out of an old Fujitsu television station camera. I really need to build a mount because that thing gets heavy fast while holding it in the left hand with the camera in the right. It looks like a portal window from a boat + about the size of my face!
The effect is kind of like the selective focus of a lens baby.
What song was used in the background during the shot of the Peugeot? One of your own? I hella like it. Email me (in URL)
ReplyDeleteHey James, thanks for reminding me, I forgot to give him credit. It was taken from the song Kingdom Moss by Owl Challenger from his 2009 release on sickmode.
