INTRODUCTION

This page outlines the basis for the upcoming Nelson Mountain Bike Trail Build video by Extremekid Productions.

GOALS

• Create a video documenting the trail build process for the new mountain bike trail in Nelson
   

• Create a video that reinforces the positives of allowing mountain bikers to access land
   

• Provide a video that can be used in future trail advocacy 
   

• Assist with applying for grants in the future
   

• Reinforce how positive mountain biking is in the community
   

• Further advertise Nelson as a riding destination to the world

OUR COMMITMENT

• You get our personal passion for the outdoors,  on this project.
   

• We go above and beyond to get the shot,  hence our name; Extremekid Productions

Video Brief

We envision the video to be based around a series of interviews with people related to the project with a selection of cinematic film clips showcasing the trail, community, and landscape as the new trail is built.

​

Ideally we will avoid filming during the middle of the day so that we can get the best light and colors possible.

​

Music is to be from Audiio.com or Soundstripe.com

PRE PRODUCTION

Pre-production is expected to take the first week of October.  This includes contacting people for interviews and planning the rest of the project.

PRINCIPLE PHOTOGRAPHY

2nd Week October onwards.  Ideally we would film all the interviews back to back in a block at the start of the project.  This lets us create the backbone of the video and gives us a more specific outline for the entire video.

POST PRODUCTION

We plan to edit the footage as we shoot it.  This means that we will be able to further shape the story throughout principle photography.

​

The project would ideally be finished towards the end of November.
