Fixation is a true life documentary focusing on the thrilling world of single speed cycling. Shot over the course of 12 weeks, Fixation captures, for the first time, the excitement and popularity of this growing sport from all perspectives. With the resurgence of single speed bikes we discover the appeal to having only one gear. Single speeds are the original form of bicycles but technology has come so far, providing multiple speeds for faster and easier riding, yet single speeds, fixed and freewheel continue to have a strong following. The range of riders is vast, from professionals to the casual everyday rider. Their styles and motives are different but the outcome still seems to be the same, the freedom, simplicity and the challenge of having one gear is what brings them back to the basics. We will explore the full spectrum of the lifestyle: Messengers, Olympic Racing, City Riders, Bike Polo, Brakeless, Freestyle and more. Discover the passion, freedom and excitement behind only having one gear.

    Love this video. I am planning on doing a miniature documentary about the Washington D.C. fixed gear culture, and i was hoping you could maybe give me some suggestions. Anything would help this is my first documentary and i could sure use all the help possible.
    Thank you.

    Right off the top of my head:
    Dont use a car to film. Dont use the 7d when in motion (scooter or skate board) The chip cant handle that much movement. 7D will be great for your camera pans, tilts, or tripod shots.
    Remember to film the in between stuff, not always just the cool, "pretty shots" get the, dirty,out of focus, incorrectly framed, messy shots. Sometimes they cut together really well and give the video some really great personality.
    If its a true documentary, you'll want to make it more about the person and less about just riding with no story.

    Browse the web and look at all the different styles of filming cycling and then look at non cycling videos to give you inspiration. Come up with your our version of it all.

    Hope that helps.
