PAINT | A NEVER BEFORE SEEN FILM | Action Cam | Sony

Original comment:
A BMX bike becomes an unlikely paintbrush in this film by
Director Greg Hackett. Paint capsules attached to the wheels
of a BMX bike feed paint onto a dark space while a rider turns
and spins on top of it. The natural movement of the bike’s
wheels emphasis the beautiful patterns that the rider creates.
With Action Cams by Sony attached to every imaginable
angle, we find ourselves watching an extreme-sports video
that results in a work of art.


How this was made:

Action Cams were mounted to three parts of the BMX: the
handle bars, the rear stays and a specially designed rig that
hangs one meter out from the rear stunt peg. The rear stunt
peg camera provides a unique perspective as paint is
distributed out of the bike’s canisters. Hackett also worked
closely with Director of Photography Duncan Telford to create
a meter long arm for the camera to point down towards
pattern being created on the ground.
