Yes, that is a good question. Filming is not something that just happens. It takes skill! We found this out on the weekend when I dragged people out to the bush on a cycle expedition and tried to film them. Also took Troy out on a local training ride for some filming.
Results were,... well, let's say 'predictable'. But there is light at the end of this tunnel, Tony Lomas from Heartland Media in Hobart has come to the rescue and offered to teach me how to shoot good footage. We have a date set! Tony has also provided good technical advice and offered to help with other aspects of our production once we are back home with mountains of footage.
In the mean time we have finalised airline tickets to get Kevin Shepit over from Canada. He is an accomplished cinematographer who was happy to come along and help us film for a few weeks! We are very greatful to have him come along and help us get good footage, and guide us in the right direction! He may also be involved with the production after the ride.
Finally a big thank you to Vanessa from Sydney who sent me the Idiot Guide to Filming! It inspired me to get some more books from the library and will give us something to read on the plane over!!! No seriously, I am reading already!
