Inspiration | Screen Shots

Today I thought I'd begin to look at some cycling videos on Vimeo for inspiration before I begin shooting, and also to illustrate the ideas I've already had.

The top 3 screen shots were taken from a short film called "Brussels Express"; a documentary about a group of cyclist who do deliveries in one of the most congested and dangerous cities in the world.

I found that this documentary was really well shot throughout, with cinematic shots used throughout. The composition is fantastic and the smooth motion of the rolling shots as the cyclist darts through traffic make it feel like a film of high budget. 








These shots are taken from a short film called "LET -- GO -- ON".

I think what caught my eye with this film was the fact it was shot at night, something I hadn't really thought about doing but with the equipment I have and if I plan an area to cycle through with decent light available it is definitely feasible. I think filming on a cold, rainy night would create a real sense of struggle.
