Picture project...

ok. kinda stupid/pointless idea, but...
this was on the tv the other week but i'd seen it last year from somewhere or other. but saw http://vimeo.com/2169237

and was inspired to do something similar.

so my idea is this.

strap camera to rider.
get a weeks worth of london from their perspective.
create gallery and video of photos.

done.

anyone interested in helping? messengers may be the best to wear the camera. ...jos?

I haven't seen Jos on the road in yonks, reckon with the bike shop business he's too busy for Metro, although getting a Metro rider would be ace, they cover so much more distance than most couriers.

My only comment on this sort of thing is it seems like alot of really grainy video gets made this way, but if your putting a nice camera on a bike the chances are goo that it'll not come through the experience too well.

Will is a camera guru and a courier, perhaps he's a good bet.

cool. i was thinking that the little still camera would have that 'holga' feel, lomography style. it's automatically set to shoot every 2 mins or what ever you like so it'll grab portraits, action, down-time etc. might be nice to make into a submission for next years BFF.

if your budget can stretch to hiring one of these:

you'll get very high res images and a very small system to carry around.
