NewtomeR850R Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 amazing, was that an r1150r? Please let us know when your done the movie, we would love to see the whole production! Link to comment
Todd_Z1 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Joe, I would like to know the brand and model of the camera you used. The video is very clear and rock stable. Todd Link to comment
joe33075 Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 Thanks for your comments. I film solo, meaning there is no crew and filming is done entirely by me. To accomplish this I use a series of cameras on the bike. Different cameras for differnet purposes. I priamrily use a sony dvx-2100 for good quality color shots and interviews/ I use a smaller sony dvcrtc-22 for quick shots and on the bike out-the-front and back shots. I have a special camera rig, I designed, which is essentially an articulated arm with a camera on it. It extends from 22-80" off the bike in any direction depending how its set up. This allows the appearence of a chase vehicle. I call it the Magic Broomstick. Production is also a solo afair Link to comment
Albert Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Great fun. I could watch more of that. Link to comment
marcopolo Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Loved it. Let us know when the video is completed; I'd love to see more, as would friends. Link to comment
MASSRTRider Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 That was spectacular. I bet most of us will only ever dream of taking a trip like that. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see more. Link to comment
Huzband Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 What a fantastic piece of work! Congrats on making the ride, & I can't wait to see the finished production. Link to comment
Dances_With_Wiener_Dogs Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I film solo, meaning there is no crew and filming is done entirely by me. To accomplish this I use a series of cameras on the bike. Different cameras for differnet purposes. Cool. You're also a mind reader! I was gonna ask about the setup. What's remarkable to me is not only are your riding 500 miles a day on average, but you are setting up shots and so on. Are you using a remote lens on your Magic Broomstick? Link to comment
GelStra Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I have a special camera rig, I designed, which is essentially an articulated arm with a camera on it. So you can move it while you ride? Or do you set for one shot, stop, move it, then film again? Any chanca seein' it? Puleeze? Link to comment
Redbrick Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Really great....and "personalized" with your comments into the camera on site.......I'm with GelStra; can you move the camera around during a shoot? We're anxiously awaiting the finished product...Looks like we may be fortunate enough to have another Bama Rider to feed us ride videos ... Phil.......Redbrick Link to comment
Chubber Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Ill pop to popcorn, I am ready to watch this movie! "I'm hot, and I smell like ass"? This is Florida, you get that way from a trip to breakfast and back! Link to comment

squints Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Anyone know the status of this? I thought a DVD was in the works. Link to comment
Bud Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Anyone know the status of this? I thought a DVD was in the works. Joe posted 4 times here and then? He was on the BMW MOA forum for a while but has disappeared there as well. Don't know what's happening, maybe got busy with other stuff. Link to comment
AdventurePoser Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Joe, Welcome to the board. Cannot wait to see the final version. Is the Cassiar fully paved? When I rode it six years ago, about 200 miles of it were still gravel, but they were working on it... Cheers, Steve Link to comment
