Different kind of Mountainbike film.

[Björn Benckert]

I directed this film for Swissmilk this summer.

DoP: Jocke Thörnquist. Shot on our weapon and Janne Jansson as second camera man with inspire RAW and a Epic Dragon.

All using FD primes, a K35 zoom and a Peleng fish eye.

We had the zoom / Epic Dragon on sticks and the weapon on ronin together with armor man II and then the inspire flying around.

Difficult time shooting with pooring rain for pretty much 10 days straight. We where supposed to have a good 5 days of shooting but that got minimized to hours between the rains.

Love the before and after on this one. It´s my brother in law that bikes just like a cow

Whats bugging me with these kind of projects is that when every one in the chain had their saying there is not much left. We did this little test film about 2 years ago. Me hanging with my BM pocket camera out of the window of my hummer. To me that cow has far cooler body animation etc than the end result that had a few 100 hours more of CG on it. Things tend to die when people poke around in stuff which is sad. I just love how this cow is a bit to big for the bike and a bit out of balance, and having a difficulty to look behind, compared to the totally not charming cow in the end result film that just hauls as down a mountain.

Damn, that cow can shred it! Test much more successful. So gnar.

This was great! Loving that little bit of clumsiness the test cow has, definitely more fun, humane and believable
