Filming day 1

Filming day one set out well, the sun was out producing some really nice sun light for camera lens effects however the ground was slightly damp. This was a slight issue as the slick tires us boys have could easily slide out causing injury if a trick was landed slightly off centre so we both had to be careful of this.

We took my camera and Tom had recently brought a new filming camera as well, so we set out with 2 lots of equipment as back up if there was technical difficulties. We didn't encounter any social interferences with residents which was good as it could have effected the flow of shots we were collecting however half way through the filming session my camera died so we switched cameras, swapped lens and adjusted ISO and shutter speed settings so that the rest of the shots were as close to the first half of shots as possible which as a result worked well and saved the day.

The water became a problem once we got to the riding spot where the trick were supposed to go down as tricks such as 180's, 360's and bar-spins made the bike slide out from under our feet which meant we had to stop and complete the trick section of the video in filming session two. I predicted this might happen which is why I planned ahead.

Here are some photographs of use on the day...

The first set of images show how in the introduction the camera is spotted in the reflection of the kettle which was then corrected producing the same effect.
