More work I like - Mash

Sam from Fixed Gear Leeds recently sent me a copy of this DVD by Mash San Francisco. Apart from being a really good fixed gear edit it also help to get an idea as to how a lot of the ride footage is filmed. For this edit most of the footage was film by a camera man sitting on the back of a scooter. This means that they can easily get up to the speed of the bikers with a much smoother ride and the cameraman can solely focus on catching the action. This presents myself with more of a problem because I don't have a scooter so I'm going to have to rely on getting similar footage from a car, which doesn't give you as much freedom as a scooter. It also means that I am not gong to be able to do the filming single handedly but the more i think about it this gives the option of more creative input. The more and more i watch different edits the better idea I am getting as to the sort of shots used and it is a good way of helping me generate ideas for when it comes to me filming.
