This is a quick video where I experimented with slow motion. Phil Shaw (the biker) and myself went out on an epic mountain bike ride over Cannock chase to prepare for our forthcoming documentary on Mountain bikers.

Inspired by ‘Life cycles’, we want to portray some cinematic style within the documentary but being poor students, we have limited equipment. So we’ve had a go with a Canon 550D!

This is only a practice piece so there are parts where the image is not great, but we are encouraged by what we achieved in this short piece. It looks promising for the actual documentary when it comes along.

Music – ‘Sail’ by Awolnation (again!! it just works!)

Camera – Canon 550D (720p, 50 fps, shutter speed 1/1000)
Editing format – Final cut pro X and motion 5
