Who is into video and editing? Let's make a kick ass video

Postby bzhwindtalker » Mon May 07, 2012 1:44 pm

I'm pretty sure we could make an awesome and viral video with the building skills and performance builds we have on the sphere.
I saw a lot of awesome footage in the past few years, and I think it would be awesome if we did a video to represent the sphere on the web and raise awareness on current ebike tech. What if we shared footage, set up a 4-5 persons group and started a collaborative project?


I'll start with stating what I can do :
Shooting : Nex-5 with various lenses, Pov camera, Tripod, Motorized dolly
Editing : Addobe premiere and after effects cs 5.5 with overclocked quad core and 16gb of ram and some skills to use that
Riding : Homebrew 2,5kw dirt bike, basic skills, awesome coastal trails.





I did come up with this idea after editing this trailer, thinking how awesome a portrait of all current top of the line ebikes would be! like saying to the world THIS IS HAPPENING!

Share your thoughts! I now we can make this one!

Could be fun. Could be a total disaster, but that could also be fun.

My Skills, minimal. My camera is a Gopro Hero2. I use Windows Movie Maker, which I'm less than pleased with. But for Audio, I use Audacity. For scenery, Well, Its Texas. And for riding. I got a few bikes to chose from. A ratrod boardtrack, a street bike. A 3k watt DH, and a 10kw Im still welding up a frame for.
Buy the ticket, take the ride.

Skills: also minimal, cameras: Kodak playsport and gopro hero. Using Sony Vegas for video hacking and getting the hang of it, but it's still rough. As for bikes I have the 22kw dual-pie for shots if you want anything specific.
The race bike:
24s5p 50c nano tech
Badass custom mofo outrunner 205x177mm 26kv
Peak power in : 318A at 91v
Peak power out: 24 Hp and 151ft/lb

Build to last...

A year or two ago, there were some teens (high school? college?) who were working on an E-bike project for school. On paper, it was an average build. A simple hub-motor (OK, fine, but...) it used 36V of SLA. Cheap buy-in, but,...adding a couple hundred dollars to the battery to upgrade to Lithium would last about three years, far outstripping the frequent replacement of the SLA pack over three years. They had fabricated side panels that made a cheap female-frame $100 WalMart bike look like a male-frame beach cruiser shape.

The awesome thing about it was the video they made. A guy wakes up in his room, music starts paying, he unplugs the battery pack from the charger, he carries the pack by its handle out to the bike and drops it into the top of the body panels. Then he starts to ride with lots of edit-cuts and music, waving from cute girls he passes by, etc.

I don't remember any search term that would find it.
