Helmet Cam!

Alan and Mo, collectively known as Restless Collective, share some of their helmet cam footage from their global bicycle tour project, The Geography of Youth.


These guys really know how to turn my jealous knob up a notch.

For the last week and a half I’ve been working on a shoot in Maine. It has required a couple of fun car mount shots. I’ve always loved rigging cameras onto things, or occasionally onto people. What you see up there is a hood mount, with a RED camera, an Arri 200 watt Pocket Par and a 575 HMI. This truck was on top of a trailer being towed by another truck, which housed our Honda 2000 generator. This seems like a good reminder that there are huge differences between “film nerds” and “filmmaking nerds.”

Diamond in the rough. I found this on Sunday In the far back corner of Elmer’s Barn. If I didn’t already have a perfectly functioning pasta roller I would have picked it up.

Daaaaaaaaaaaamn

What are your plans when they invent the 650 dollar bill? My plan is to head down to my local Criterion Shop* and pick this up. “Essential Art House: 50 Years of Janus Films” is exactly what it sounds like. It’s basically worth it just for “Jules and Jim.”

*Perez, calm down, this isn’t a real thing.
