Last week filming got under way for the Buzz community video. Buzz is an award winning community project based in our home town of Blaina. As well as being the only place to rent a bike, or get your own bike fixed in Blaina, Buzz also provides health and safety training, bicycle maintenance training and organizes trips out varying from casual, easy going ride to an extreme downhill course. Buzz was set up by local teenagers for local teenagers, and has grown from a recreational activity into a thriving social enterprise. It aims to give the kids something to do and we think they pull it off well!
On Wednesday evening, the boys headed to Buzz headquarters in Blaina to gather some interviews and footage for the project. Rob and Chris then headed up to Blaina skate park early on Sunday morning. Armed with their trusty 7d and Z5, the boys where able to shoot some amazing looking footage. The Buzz boys held nothing back during the shoot, filling the hour spent filming with tricks and jumps a-plenty.
Rob is editing as we speak, we’re all excited to see how the first in our string of short films for Communities First is going to turn out. If the unedited footage is anything to go by the finished product is going to look amazing! As soon as it’s finished we’ll post it here and you can all let us know what you think.
