that was amazing, the lighting and camera angles were sick!

Nice Sean, exposure seemed more dialled in this one. I still think you have a bit of a tendency to under expose your shots though, it's hard to read just by looking at the screen hey!
Just wondering, is it personal choice that you like to frame the lower half of the body to sacrifice the head or is it just the trickiness of using a dslr to film and compose with?

Out of curiosity, who was the music by?
thanks guys, In response to the music, i used Show you love, by Data Romance.
And in regard to my shooting, i really just simply have a look at the shot i want to film, and then just shoot what looks good, the dslr didn't effect this choice at all as most of the film was shot on my Z1. From learning from the other professionals out there I have found that cutting the head in certain shots and just having wheels and handle bars is a popular shot and looks good in my eyes.

I do agree with you on that part, as I too occasionally use wheel shots as a medium for showing action, but I feel they make it really hard to show emotion as there is no facial expression to go off. On a personal scale, I most enjoy shots such as the one at 36 seconds where it starts on his wheels then pans up and when he leaves the shot his head is in the frame.
I think its just one of those things, like all shots I think it needs to be used in moderation but of course everyone is always going to have a bias towards one type of shot than another. I for one really enjoyed the majority of the shots where you finished with his head in the frame, but that might be because of my still photography background, and the wheel shots I most enjoyed were the ones where you finished with certain parts of his body cut off, i.e "not at the ankle, but in the middle of the shin or thigh. Not at the wrist, but mid-forearm."
In the end I don't think it really matters as my opinion is going to be completely different from the next persons, but that's just a personal "gripe" if you will that I have with the composition of your shots. I guess any shot can work, its all about how it is framed.
On the whole, I really liked the video though, and I didn't have an issue with the frequency of the shots that were in slow-mo, do you use twixtor?
I'm going to have to disagree.
The whole cutting-off-the-head shot irritates me, it just looks awkward (in my opinion).
It reminds me of those bmxr's/skaters that have a fish-eye attachment on their $200 cameras and shows poor professionalism and skill...
I also thought that most of the shots were underexposed and I wasn't a fan of the colours.
On the whole though, I thought it was a good video. The jig/jib/boom/whatever it is looks great, especially in one of those firsts shots.
