Filmed by Bike : Call for Entries
October 17, 2006
Filmed by Bike, a festival of bike-themed film shorts, has an open call for entries of films that are 8 minutes or under. Every spring, with a team of judges, I am one of the lucky people who gets to screen and select the films. It's a lot of work and the movies are all a mixed bag. Other than bikes, the only constant theme is that we get a glimpse of what goes on in the creative minds of cyclists world wide. Some are professional, others are grassroots "first-timer" videos. There seems to be very little correlation between the quality of the filmmaking and the merit of the movies. A lot of the very grassroots pieces are the most clever.
It's now easier than ever to edit a video on one's home computer system and Filmed by Bike has seen an increase in the number of submissions over the years. In fact, the crowning film of the 2006 festival was shot completely on a digital still camera using the video feature. It was the creator's first movie and it wound up being a favorite of the judges and of the crowd.
