Making Freeride Video in the North East (CT and surrounding states)

[S1m0ne]

Hey everyone,
My name is Andrew and I'll be making a freeride video in the spring. Currently I am looking for riders to be in the video. I am a film/television student in South Western Connecticut so I am trying to stay local. If anyone is interested in being in my video please tell me. We will be using state-of-the-art HD cameras and whatnot so please only respond if you're serious about doing this. Should be a fun way to get ur name out there. Let me know.

[S1m0ne]

Yea...and if anyone can't be in it but has questions or comments please do cause I'd love to hear it.

What's your theme and types of riding? What's your planned production timeline? Do you have a distribution network planned? What's your previous experience? You say you're filming it in HD. Are you formatting the DVDs in HD? That would be cool. If not 16mm is cooler.

[S1m0ne]

Fair enough. I don't plan to shoot until early spring. I plan to make the video and then think about distributing. I'm not trying to sell anything. It would be for school and my resume. As for previous experience, I've worked on a number of short films and television shows, but I've never done anything with mtb. I would like to do freeriding. I am not against getting help from someone more experienced. Actually, that would be nice.

and i'm not really sure what my theme and type is. It depends what kind of riders decide to do it.
