• Hi guys, this will probably seem a bit random but bear with me. As well as working at the Specialized Concept Store up at the fort, i'm also a 3rd year media student at BCU. For one of my final year projects i'm planning on making a series of short films about cyclists (in order to encourage non-bike people to actively pick up the sport), and i'm looking for local cyclists to film. I'm looking to film this coming Friday (the 22nd), and the week after (Tuesday 26th to Friday 29th), so if any of you would like to get involved please let me know.

    I've been in contact with British Cycling and they have expressed interest in potentially putting the films on their webspace if of a good enough quality, so you might even get famous (no guarantees though!)

  • Hello Chief.

    would be happy to be involved, whats the idea of the films? is it just footage of the cyclists or are you after something in particular.

  • The films are going to roughly 3-4 minutes long each, and will comprise of a mixture of interview footage, riding shots and general shots of the rider, riders bike, so you will be required to talk about why you cycle, what you get out of it etc. I should add as well that i'm not just looking for fixed/singlespeed riders, commuters, mountainbikers, racers etc would all be accepted.

    They shouldn't take too long to film, 2 hours maximum i would guess.

  • Hey Chief, sounds like a fantastic idea. I run a company called Nimble and I would 100% screen them for you if they were good! I'd also love to take part. Can do Friday but on hols next week. Also EMM and I are filming some stuff on weds too so could kill two birds if you're about...

    Come to my next event http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=206835476008271#!/event.php?eid=206835476008271 if you can.

  • I'm a cycle courier and I'd be more than up for this and I'm city center based, so yeah I'm down
