Wonderful film. I love everything about it, the subject, the camera work, pacing, music, grading - i'm going to tell everyone I know to watch it. Trying to work out how you did the shots which follow the bikers - were you on a swivel chair? What kind of equipment did you shoot with? Thanks!

Nice documentary, need to watch it again when I get home where I can see it with propper sound!

Just a question, how did you get so smooth panning shots from inside the circle, when they are so close to you and at that little distance, without getting dizzy?

When I was 5-years-old, I saw this stunt team at a fair in Leamington, Ontario, Canada called the Hell Drivers. I then and there thought—that was it!!! Cars crashing! Running over people! Motorcycles jumping through fire!...
In Grade 1, when all the other kids were drawing what they wanted to become when they grew up (like doctors, and firemen, etc...) I drew a picture of the Hell Drivers! — all of that came back to me today when I saw your video.
Thank you!
Beautiful work here!

Benedict, that is sooo very good. Very interesting and engaging! I also liked the misture of B&W; seemed to be just enough and in the right places.

Beautifully and lovingly done. Love the b&w. Maybe a little too much of the (I'm guessing) 5D DOF, but it all works so well.

The music selections are lovely.

This is so well done. You took a family that I don't know, a show I have never seen, in a country in which I've never been - and moved me with film.

Bravo.

I am a great fan of daredevils and had lots of fun seeing this film! Amazing lifestyle, cool bikes and awesome performance. I love their smiles and watching them doing their thing...
There is a great level of intimacy in this portrait. I also like a lot the editing style and color grading.
Congrats! Wish I could see them live sometime!
