26. SOBE Energy Downhill Mountain Bike Series at Attitash
1 year ago
Check out my brand new website at tomguilmette.com

UPDATE Sept18 @12:31am: Final Cut - fixed unreadable title graphic and added attitash dot com at end. also cleaned up credits.
UPDATE Sept15 @7:02pm: I cut out the guy adjusting the chain for better pacing.

I shot this during race weekend at Attitash in Bartlett, New Hampshire. I shot all the footage with a Sony EX1 and the Letus Extreme 35mm lens adapter. Lenses used: Nikon 24mm f2.8, 35mm f2, 50mm f1.4, 300mm f3.5, Sigma 18mm f3.5.

This video was shot to help promote the racing series and Attitash mountain as a destination for downhill riders from around New England.

    Excellent footage and fantastic editing! I wish Virginia had more places to mountain bike. This place looks incredible.

    Is is challenging to shoot the riding footage with the letus?
    Also where did you find that version of that song? I'm a big fan of Clint Mansell.
  • Tom Guilmette plus 1 year ago
    It is very challenging to shoot riding footage with the Letus. I am fighting a very shallow depth of field and they are traveling very fast.

    I got that version from the Lord of the Rings soundtrack. It was off one of their movie trailers. Not certain who composed it though.

    "Requiem for a Dream"

    I don't know if there is just a Two Towers version or what but it's led back to the name "Clint Mansell".

    I've heard a bunch of remix's for this song, but am not sure of it's actual name. hah.

    looks good tom, do you ever get tired of using the 35 adapter, or do you have that thing glued to your ex1?

    really nice change of pace at 2:48 and on.
  • alexwrona 11 months ago
    yeah, indeed, very nice macro pan with the slowmotion face closeups following that. Did you use a rail or something similar for the pan?

    Excellent work Tom, really inspiring. Your other videos narration is so good that I have been showing them to my English Language students here in the Czech Republic. Hope you don't mind that.

    Nice work Tom. A good blend of effects and "real" footage to make one want to go biking. The characters were interesting to listen to. They represented the sport quite well.

    Very interesting film, well shot and the edit was very good. Impressed that you use the Letus for the filming and I can relate to the difficulty in having fast moving subjects and very shallow depth of field, you managed it very well.

    Wow, powerful piece of art. I ride bikes (sometimes DH) and I also shot videos so I really enjoyed watching that. Thanks for sharing your work with us. By the way, take a look at our intro video for a bikepark in Andorra (Europe):

    All shot with a consumer Sony camera and a sony onboard cam. Wish I had the EX1 jeje. Feel free to leave any comment though.
