Hey Roger,
I’m about to film a proof of concept which involves alot of kids on bikes.
I only have access to an easy rig and a smallrig car suction cup kit, do you have any ideas on how best to get smooth shots of cast on bikes.
Currently planning on driving and filming from the car for group shots or clamping the camera to the front of a bike for a shot of the one rider.
Thanks so much I love this forum!

Hey Connor sounds like a cool shot. Is there dialogue in the scene? How fast does the biking need to feel?
Maybe you can implement two methods:
-Shoot from a car at a further distance away to cover more geographic area, maybe get better parallax, and record better sound so that engine and tire noise are not a factor overlapping with important dialogue.
-If you can control the blocking of the shot, maybe have the talent stop or move slower for critical close up coverage.When I’m watching anything, I like when the shots feel intentional like they’re happening for a purpose to further the story. Not just spraying down coverage. So if you’re able to work it out with the director, the scene could be a great chance to use coverage as a choice to powerfully move the story in a direction.
