bike film

(overview)

A mountain-bike film with rider Nikola Hristov, shot in a pine forest in autumn. We framed it as a page you scroll: the title, the coordinates of the trail and the riding inside a box. Cameras on the bike, on the ground and at the drop, cut with orange flashes that feel like burnt film.

(design)

A page, not a frame

The film sits inside a designed vertical page: stacked title, the coordinates of the trail, a red asterisk. The page stays still while the forest moves inside it.

Camera on the bike

A camera fixed to the frame looks up at the rider, with the treetops spinning behind.

Film burn

Orange flashes like burnt film, with glowing marks drawn by hand and the frame slipping like an old projector.
