Unit 150 Begins

After the Easter break we are back and starting the research stage of our final major projects.

Briefs are for a 10 minute documentary following the formats of BBC Three's Extraordinary Me or Channel 4 First Cut.


We are only at the ideas stage at the moment but I'm developing an Idea with the team from the Strip Doc about cycling and BMX riding and its inclusion within the Olympics. The cameraman has a great contact Robert Reed who has links to UCI BMX World Championships, events such as Rollapaluza and many many more.
We are looking to focus on the grass routes story of BMX riding and how it has been transported to a new level by it inclusion in the Olympics.

We are also hoping to use the other contacts within competition bike events to make a promotional film for his work with schools and for his sponsors.


Currently I am contacting the Great British cycling team and event coordinators at the UCI to gain access to film at the upcoming World Championship so watch this space!
