TREY RIDES
Right from the start, Drew and I decided to film the biking scenes very experimentally rather than just placing a camera on a tripod and having it track the bike riding in a straight line. Instead, we tried multiple techniques to see what stuck and best fit the film.
GENERIC WAY
At first, we went the basic route and placed the camera on a tripod, but we made it more creative by framing the shot to look more unique. We liked how it looked, but some of the shots were too plain to include in the final cut, so we ended up choosing a handful of unique ones.
COOLER WAY
We asked our friend to drive his car while Drew filmed me from the side in the passenger seat. We liked how it looked, but in some parts of the footage, I drove too far away from the frame. However, what we recorded was still usable, and we plan to edit out the bad parts of the shot.
This time, we decided to get a shot of me biking from the back of the car, but we didn't really know how to execute the shot. Drew tried filming me from the backseat sticking out the window, but it was unusable because you could see the car. Thus, we only had one choice... THE TRUNK. By far, this was the best biking angle we've gotten during filming. However, I biked a little too far away from the camera, so we decided to keep in the shots where I was proximate to the camera.
