For second I thought they were in the race but those drag-heavy beards were a dead-giveaway. But it’s pretty cool what they’re doing. They’re doing the route on their own. Not being pros, not having serious sponsorship, and most of all not having a huge Peleton to break the wind, this crew deserves serious respect. I love the cinematographer’s comment…
“The drive was to do something that was less aspirational and more inspirational. Professional sports are always like “you’re never going to be this amazing, you’re never going to be this fast, so just sort of sit back and watch what we’re doing. I have such discomfort with that perspective. I think we’re all capable of little every day heroics.”

It's a Canon XH-A1 (the same camera I have) with a 35mm lens adapter, which allows you to use prime film lenses to obtain that sweet ass DOF.
Dave (the cinematographer) is the MAN! I used to live with him and did a few projects with him in Vegas... very talented and allergic to peanuts.

Bicykiller, your buddy Dave has some serious talent. It completely outclasses the material. Watching the cinematography in those ads was like watching Michelangelo draw Garfield cartoons.

dream signals in full circles. i used to listen to them. my ex girlfriend would commandeer the stereo coming home late at night from shows 50 miles away and it would put me to sleep so i said NO.

awesome!!! i'd love to see a pic of the cam. because of the adapter, is it really long and bulky?
Do you know which lenses he uses?
