AC – Downhill Mountain Biking Film
For more information, please visit http://www.tomguilmette.com
Downhill Mountain Bike Film featuring AC shot at Attitash Mountain in Bartlett, New Hampshire (September 2009). Alex is a Giant Bicycles/Michelin Tires rider and he rips on a 2009 Giant Glory DH mountain bike.
Shot on a Sony PMW-EX1 with Letus Ultimate, Canon 5dmk2, and a Panasonic Lumix ZS3. I used all Nikon prime lenses.
I also used a Redrock Micro Matte Box, Vinten Vision 10 AS tripod (carbon fiber and baby legs), homemade 5dmk2 helmet mount, PVC pipe dolly and Zoom H4 audio recorder.
Edited on Final Cut Pro.
Music:
The Killers – Shadow Play
Shiny Toy Guns – Rainy Monday

Good job on keeping up with him Tom. I need to build up a DH bike again
Dear Tom, you are still my hero. The end.
great video Tom! Good luck Alex!
Homemade 5dmkII helmet mount – that was so stable, or at least what you edited was so stable, I really liked the helmet edge on the left too. Gave a nice perspective of the rider.
hai…5dmk2 helmet mount is fantastic
you are so creative…
great job..:)
Looks great! Why do some shots have diffused highlights? like at 3:01, was that something in post?
bella bici
At last a DH/MTB video that’s shot right. Congratulations! Which shots are from EX1 and which ones are from 5dmII ? You commented in your blog that you will try to follow the rider even though you’re not a professional DH, could you finally do it jeje? Just one last question, why do you use nikon lenses with your 5dmarkII ? What kind of adapter do you use? Do you think it is well worth to put Nikon glass in front of a Canon DSLR?
Thanks and keep up the good work!
Great film Tom, I love the little details like subtle zooms and the pans into him coming around corners. All the little things made it very exciting and fun to watch. Solid piece of work.
One of the best films i’ve seen in a long time! Awesome job Tom. One question, when you had to move to different shooting locations did you have to hike your whole rig and everything around or did you break it down into a backpack every time and bike to the next location on the mountain?
Hi tom, how did you steady the shots you made while you were riding behind him? (lock&load??)
thats was a sick video tom, really impressed, colors were awesome, being a biker im glad you were able to capture the technicality and speed of the sport. i did find however that the follow cam shots ruined a bit of the flow, cool none the less. i was also wondering if it was hard to pull focus while filming biking? im thinking of buying a dof adapter.
Another wonderful piece Tom. I love the different perspectives, including the use of the 5DM2 as a helmet cam.
Woaw it looks so great ! Nice work Tom !
You did not use the Contour HD, why? Did you try it?
Here is my last video: http://www.vimeo.com/6661326
It’s a downhill video too but during the Belgian Nissan DH Cup #4. Please telle me what you think about it.
I think the leaf shot on the ground and the rider as sort of an afterthought in the shot…that was the ticket for me. Love it.
i`m your fan now!
ha ha ha yeah right dude your terrible.You aren’t even close to being on top.You sound just like the guy from the tipping point movie and he isnt even on top you SUCK that is just the way it is. Dont give me the crap that just because you want it so badly your just gonna get it.Your not that fast there are so sosososo many riders out there that will own you any day of the week.The only thing your good for is going to all the races but you make giant look like shit because you will get last place every time.
Now Tom you seem like a great Filmer and all but why did you film this dude you got to go big man find some good rippers this guy sucks.
Love the shot @ 4:03 when he blows by the single leaf and the shot at @ 4:36 when the he pulls the handlebar out of frame. Nice job dude.
Great job !
I can see the 5D at 2:40 😉
