Downhill MTB - Best Cinematography

[Robert Gustafsson]

Shot this a couple of weeks back. Was awarded 'Best Cinematography' at the Are Bike Film festival.
Planned, shot and edited in 4 hectic days with a great small team.

A cam Epic-W, B cam Carbon Epic Dragon
Shot on Sigma Cine Zooms (18-35, 50-100) and a few shots with Canon L glass.

Enjoy.

Looks nice, how did you do moving shots?

Thanks!

We used a Kessler slider for the dolly shots, a Mövi M15 and a Glidecam DGS with Smooth Shooter vest.
Some shots are just handheld with two GDU handles on each side of the camera.

Really well done Robert. I was going to mention how great the camera movement was as well. Awesome color grade too...

Looks great Robert! I enjoy mountain biking a lot as well, so it's always nice to see someone doing right by it. What was your drone setup - and do you have any pictures? I loved all of the follow, lead and overhead shots. Nicely done
