Re: Attention Everyone With Footage!
my best advice would be to just hang out and film film film the ones around you. make short 3 or 4 minute promos for your friends and other local riders for a small fee. lots of people would love to have a film guy around that they could consistently call that would show up. keep a steady hand and always keep the camera runnin, you don't want to miss anything.

Re: Attention Everyone With Footage!
Every time someone makes a low budget DVD it devalues our sport, and the good videos that help support it. Don't get me wrong, go for it, but don't sell it just give it away.
For example we spent over 15K putting out Revolution, and around 8K on Reasonable Doubt. And that was not duplication cost, simply travel, equipment, music licensing, and related expenses.
Hell the last camera I bought to make another video if I ever get around to it was 8K with the related bolt ons. So I'm 8K in the hole before I even turn it on.
If everyone just edited internet clips for a year first then thought about a DVD we would all be better off.

Wise words from a wise Apex.. Its the truth.. you can make a ton of quick spendable cash serving or bartending.. Find a place thats worth= it tho where people have dress codes and stuff like that.. you will make some money and be able to live off of it...then you can focus on ur hobby too.. and The Revolution was nasty... it makes me cringe to look at some of these costs... ive been doing mortgages for 3 years now and want to get out of it for full time bartending so i can ride and try to go to flight school during the day.. It doesnt seem like it would payoff but if you can give up some weekends and nights, itll payoff..

Bartending is good times, but its harder to get into even with the cheesy bar tenders academy schools. I did it for a while at Ruth's Chris and didn't make as much, and pulled longer hours than the wait staff. A club is much better money, but the hot things right now if female bar tenders so. For a male with experience it's hard, at least here in Vegas. I worked in fine dinning for 4 years, walked with an average 175-250 per night from a 5 hour shift, life was GOOD.
It's not a lot of money considering what one could make doing independent editing. But if you think about the hours and ability to come and go as you please, what's better? Granted it takes a while to get there, you have to pay your dues at lower end places and work your way up. But there is GREAT money to be made, I also rode almost every night after work because I was able to sleep in, haha. Its a complete and total slacker job, and to be honest, I miss it now. There are 70-100K waiter jobs on strip, but thats a commitment, and right now bikes first, real life is second, haha.

Sounds like these guys are giving you a hard time..
Alot of these guys are awesome in the sport I know for a fact but I think the best thing for people with these ego's is just to fuckn send some clips..
hes not asking for a documentary about you- thats what it sounds like by some of these lame responses..
You might want to consider crash video film- but these guys prolly wanna charge you double..
I've got some wreck footage but its from bad camera's.. you probually wouldnt be interested.. But I also know some good guys that would possibly send you some good tape..
random **** on it- make what you can.. but these kats arent all too good for a guy trying to get production time...
Whats that one cat that everyone is on his nuts? Jos stone ? or osme ****.. I bet he didnt get in the game being charged 100 dollars a minute!!
Support the guy guys!!.. you aint gotta send him "Phenominal" footage.. just some 1 min clips..
I know how it is trying to pay for insurance for shows, getting permits, paying for your own **** and trying to make it.. its hard !! but even look at this cats situation hes in the same boat..
but it is also impossible to start a bank. without any money..
So take what you can get for sure!

Re: Attention Everyone With Footage!
I totally understand that, I wasn't really thinking about that when I posted I just wasnt asking for pro footage which I think mostly everyone thought i was... just some bull **** parking lot camcorder **** to fill some space on the dvd of some half decent ****.
