TRACK BIKES in NYC 🇺🇸 aka RoughCut: "Hotline-Rooper Cay"

[@BogiSP]

Dude, you broth the quality of these videos to the max. I have no idea how you are doing it, i wish i did, but at the end it doesn't matter. The point is it look so cinematic and beautiful and the good sound is just a cherry on top of the cake. You truly put some special editing sauce to make this experience complete. Thank you for the amazing work @Terry !

[@BogiSP]

Petru B. Ohhh trust me it's not that easy, i know what he uses to record all of this. There is a bit of editing that brings it all together. I have the very same gimbal but i have Hero 3+ Black (no on camera digital IS) so it's still not as smooth as his shots. Also i feel like there is just more of motion blur then what i get. I'm not sure does he have like an ND filter on or is it done in post but it looks different. Non the less it's great work and it's not easy do make this :)

[@BogiSP]

Petru B. You don't understand what i'm talking about. I know exactly what and how he does it and what he uses, except camera settings and how he edits all of it. Capturing all of this is not what confuses me. Helmet, gimbal, GoPro, Audio recorder and most importantly out of this world biking skills. The rest is what i'm wondering about, all the work that happens off the bike :)

[@BogiSP]

Petru B. Cool bro, you just came to the same conclusion i wrote in the original comment. At the end it doesn't matter how he does it, the point is that it's beautiful and very well done.

[@alanito38]

Well Done.

[@joashmanning]

​@@BogiSP Yeah, his videos have the perfect amount of motion blur. He probably shoots ONLY at 24fps and with shutterspeed of 1/50th... and probably does this with an ND filter by PolarPro (Shutter Series) which allows him to shoot at slower shutterspeeds in broad daylight while getting that elusive motion blur... which would normally be missing. :)

[@rashad123us]

Riding in NYC a mere 3 years later is a totally different experience. There are thousands more scooters, mopeds, and e-bikes on the streets competing for limited bike space.

A bicycle should follow the rules just like any other vehicle. If all of us broke the rules like you it would be chaos. I'm not entirely sure about laws in NY, but in most places what you're doing is illegal and of course I'm against that kind of riding. I enjoy watching these videos but I have to dislike them and discourage this kind of riding.

theodoro89 Yes. And NBA players travel all the time, and Pablo Picasso’s pictures don’t look like people. Occasionally people of talent come around and defy the conventional rules and in doing so elevate what they are doing to a higher level.
