All in my head short film

[mattyd]

Hey Rotorburners

Our crew of riding buddies got together to make a short riding film.
We wanted to make something different to the usual MTB vid.
Something a bit more soulful and creative if you get what I mean.
Shot on a Panasonic HVX200 P2

Many thanks to the trail builders.
Please don't disclose where the trail is if you know it.

Hope you like it, we had fun making it.





It's in HD so it might take a moment to load properly.

That was really cool. Good work, track looks so fun too!

Hah! Sweet concept man. Would've been sweet to chuck a guitar player and a vocalist in there, but the idea is fantastic

Wow. Very cool! Loved the drum kit idea.
You could have polished some of the edits a bit better, but I enjoyed watching it non-the-less. Thanks.

 

[Kane.]

That's fantastic man really enjoyed it and original.

Can't wait to see more from you...

Thanks guys, It was really hard to make it work.
Plus we lugged that drum kit around up and down a hill for 6 hours.
A lot of hard work went into it.

awesome vid mate and a refreshing change from the norm!! I love that place!! you captured the mood perfectly...would have been a bitch carrying that drum kit in & out I imagine

 

[Mitch_freeride]

That was pretty amazing, the idea behind that was so simple but effective. Image a drummer following you around as you rode, probably get really pissed-of after a while when he kept appearing everywhere.

Sick, awesome original idea

I agree. I would also become a little FREAKED OUT!

Very good idea tho.

 

[Dirt king]

That was awesome. Absolutely loved it. Such a original idea, yet worked soooo well.

Kane looks like you will have to get creative my friend.

Thanks for the pos comments fellas.
We shot it one day in December, it was freaking hot too.
lugging that drum kit up and down the hill was a hassle but it was worth it.

Got a bit sick of seeing the same formula for MTB vids so we tried something different.
We wanted to make a mix between a music video and a MTB vid.
And something we hadn't seen done before. Took us a day to shoot it.
It was a cool thing to do with a bunch of mates. We all had to agree to not bring our bikes
along or we would never had got it done.
Such a nice trail.

A couple of us are in the film and TV ad business so we had some good gear at our disposal as well.

"keep em cummin" lovin it!

 

[Woffa]

Nice work... Really liked the idea behind it, so original. Some pretty nice shots in there too. Look forward to seeing your future edits!

 

[patto_15]

Well done and truelly original!! Pretty amazing!
If you see one of the big production films with the same idea in the future, go start cracking skulls!!

 

[FINX74]

Very nice idea guys - looks like a lot of hard work but you must be happy with the outcome, good change to the norm. Hope there is more to come - by the way that track rocks !!!!!!!

 

[F1234K]

WOW! That was awesome! I really liked that vid. Make some more if you have time, I will watch and enjoy

 

[Staunch]

Very nice, great idea.
Must of be a MASSIVE pain lugging around that drum kit though...

 

[eyes]

Awsome idea, just carry a blood bongo drum next time... Way easier. Rad vid, I've been downloading it for 2 hrs and only got half way on my virtual dialup!

 

[Downhill Domination]

That had to be they coolest video I have ever watched!
That guy had it pinned too. Where abouts is the track?
Would love to ride it if it is close by to the Gong.
