Memory Artifact. Planning and test shoot.
I have decided to go with the idea of attaching a camera to a bike. my bike. this video works behind the idea that i have obviously memorised my journey to university every day, and because i am so used to this journey, i dont even think about where im going.
I want to look at this journey and get a view from a different angle. literally. with the camera attached to the main bar i think i will be able to get a good view of where im going on the bike, whilst showing the wheel and possibly the front forks, to give the video a bit more of an exciting feel. it will also show the maneuverability of the bike and its speed.
I have a gorrilla pad tripod grip thing for attaching cameras to pretty much anything… but it didnt really work, and the video was very shaky and bouncy, so i ended up using a lot of cardboard and duct tape. and came up with this shot:
im really pleased with the shot, i think it looks good and the camera held steady, even when i was riding fast over bumps in the road. im hoping that it will hold when i do the actual shoot, especially if im riding off pavements and over speed bumps, etc.
