Midland Extreme Action Camera

Monday, July 23, 2012

Okay, so the show would be called This Bike’s Life and it’d follow the comical struggles of a bike just trying to get by in the big city. Think of it as a cross between FRIENDS, Louie, and the Tour de France.

Sounds good so far, right? Well, wait! It gets better! The production cost is EXTREMELY low, as in just the cost of a Midland Extreme Action Camera and one brand new road bike!

The whole show will be shot entirely from the bike’s prospective, and all of the dialogue will be improvised. Basically, I’ll ride around all day, and whenever I see something that might make compelling content, I’ll turn on the Action Camera using the single flip switch and start recording. Then I’ll take that footage home, edit down to 21 minutes to allow for commercial breaks, and do some wacky voice over on it!

It’s that easy! No need for a crew or actors or anything! Just me, a bike, and a camera!

What? You think I’m just doing this for a free bike and Action Camera? Ha… that’s… ridiculous… I would never pitch… a whole show… just for… OH CRAP! FORGET IT! I’M CAUGHT!
