Shooting Video with Motorcycles

My multitasking wheels were really turning at the Whitehorse Press Publishers motorcycle shoot. I had the honor of working with internationally recognized motorcycle expert Ken Condon in filming a companion video for his new book “Riding in the Zone”. “Riding in the Zone” is a book that will help early-intermediate to early-advanced riders learn the physical and mental riding techniques in order to become more confident on their bike.

It comes with a wicked awesome supplemental training video that we created in blisteringly hot weather and on a parking lot covered with slippery tar snakes, making it difficult to execute risky maneuvers. I utilized camera angles from ground level and from high above by standing on the roof of my truck. Luckily there was also a complete indoor set-up with a teleprompter which was cool (literally). There was a lot to cover in this one-day shoot but even with all the obstacles we successfully completed a wicked awesome video that included an array of graphics, illustrations, and an elaborate dvd menu.
