Time To Work
We’ve started making individual little movies of each athlete to show potential sponsors just how in depth our coverage of their quest is. We will connect them to each rider on the RIDERS page. It’s amazing how long even just a 2 minute video can take if you put some extra cuts in there. That realization makes pause and think how hard it will be to cut 2 hours worth. On top of a full-time job? I know I can’t continue like this. In the office by 9am, leave around 6, rush home to wolf down some food as fast as I can to maximize time for editing. Turn off the phones. Try not to look at my kayak outside the window. I haven’t been thinking about riding much since I sold my bike in Austria to pay the rent. Guess it’s better that way. I watch the sunset from indoors and work till I see it start to come up again - when I can hear birds chirping, I know I have to save it, shut it down and get some sleep. Then it’s get up at 8:00 and do it again. I need to get rid of the office job…
I’ve been stressing over whether or not we got enough emotion, got enough of the inside story, got to know each rider enough. Doing these little videos has made me look back over footage I had yet to watch. And I realized, with a big, fat smile on my face, that yea - we got it. Look for them in the next day or two.
This ball is massive, but now it’s rolling…
