Maximum Exposure: Rigging a Motorcycle with FilmTools

Post by peckhammer »

I just posted the piece we did about rigging motorcycles for on-board video recording with special guest, Stan McClain. Stan has been a director of photography, mostly working in aerial cinemetography units, and he has worked on over 50 motion pictures. He's got a real knack for rigging vehicles with cameras: http://blip.tv/file/2323520/

Lots of R1200R footage, and some R1200GS stuff too. I had a lot of fun doing this vid, since so much of it involved riding and recording shots.

Peck,

EXCELLENT subject! Your production continues to improve. I'm gonna be saying "I knew him when..." pretty soon I think.

I have ordered a 2C clamp and a 484 head.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it. Yeah, I'm feeling "almost famous!"

A viewer suggested that the 2C clamp could be used as a GPS mount or for other equipment. I thought that was a pretty cool idea.
