For the past two weeks I"ve been on the road in Quebec shooting World Cup downhill mountain biking again for Freecaster.tv. It's been a few years, and its great to see lots of famiiar faces and meet some new ones. The shooting has been fun, and is definitely a comfort zone for me. After "leaving" the sport in a state of burnout, it was nice to be excited about the sport again. I'll start the rumour now.... The Circus 2 is coming in 2010. I know infinitely more about marketing, producing, and shooting now than I did when I made the first Circus in 2001. I was 22 years old, fresh and eager, and equipped with nothing but a 3-chip video camera. Now, I'm older, wiser, and full of new ideas. Who knows...a 10 year retrospective would be pretty cool, and I want to do it before the "old guard" of riders have retired.
A quick same-day edit of footage from Bromont this past weekend...
That's awesome to hear about The Circus 2!! The original is still probably my favorite race movie. The music in it so good.
