Film February

The crowdsource documentary (R)evolutions Per Minute is a film in which I believe. It is also a film I want to see. Help me see this movie. You wouldn't deny my four sons the chance to see this movie would you?

Liz Canning is the brains and talent behind the project.

BUT SHE NEEDS YOU.

You. Yes, you. And your friend ... and while you are at it, grab your neighbor!

The project needs film from you. It does not matter the quality of the film, how shaky it is, or whether or not you consider your rig a cargo bike. Film yourself. Film as much cargo-bike-ness as you can and send it off to her. See Liz's FAQ page for more.

Liz can edit anything and make it look beautiful. Have you seen the trailer? I can see some of the footage my friends and I took and it looks better than when we took it. How is that possible? Magic.

Please do the following:

1. Film and send it to Liz.
2. Tell every cargo bike loving individual in your social network (online as well) to film in February.
3. Post on your blog, encouraging your readers.
4. FILM

Don't worry about the following:

1. Decent equipment. Your phone, camera, loaf-of-bread sized video camera from 1992 are all fine. Editing is an art and Liz can make your footage work.
2. Editing. Don't. That is Liz's job. She can edit. Just send her raw, unedited footage. It does not get any easier than that.
3. How to get the footage to Liz. There are several options: email, online drop box, send a data DVD, and some cities have a circulating hard drive.
4. What to shoot. You shoot you. Take video of you doing your daily cargo bike things. Think all of the things that you tell people when they ask you why you have a cargo bike and that is what you film.
5. Busy lives. I have a busy life as well. I have 4 kids and I teach full-time and have 3 side projects going. If you have opted to use a cargo bike in your daily life, it is likely that your life is not as busy as you think. Weave the filming into your activity for the day. I am going to pick of a bale of hay this weekend. Guess what I am going to do? YEP...I am going to film it!
