Ride footage - Pros and Cons

Above is a short sample of some of the ride footage (obviously compressed quality as with previous videos) and I am really pleased with the results. The footage was filmed out the back of a car and I wasn't entirely sure whether it was going to work but it was a success. It does have some drawbacks when compared to using a scooter or moped because you don't have that freedom both in terms of driving the vehicle and how you can get around through traffic as well as when it comes to filming and you are restricted by the sides of the car. With that said it was the best I could do and I got some really good shots from it. One of the difficulties was dealing with the quality of the road and this affecting the steadiness of the shots because the camera was being hand held.There were times when this wasn't as noticeable but there were others when it totally ruined the shot. I would have liked to have been able to film when a larger group was out but due to camera and car commitments this was the best I could do. I would like to go out again with a larger group and I've talked to Andy whom said he would drive me around but this will depend on group commitments and of course the weather. Overall I am glad I went to the trouble of filming this way as it will definitely add another dynamic to the finished video when its cut in with the more static trick footage.
