Movie tip: Light Trails

There are plenty of bike films. Standing out from the crowd is not easy. That's why the "EndlessGap" crew came up with something special together with "WooProductions". The result can be seen on December 19 in Fribourg or online.

The aim is to show something creative that was previously not to be found in the classic bike films. Since "WooProductions" had been working on a film with LED technology for some time, the company found the right partner for the realization in "EndlessGap". The glowing fruits of this collaboration can be admired at Café XXe in Fribourg on December 19 at 9 pm. An online release is also planned for the same time.

The short film in facts
To achieve the lighting effects, over 60 meters of LED fairy lights were attached to the riders and their mountain bikes. In order to illuminate the bikers and their two-wheelers in the best possible way, chains of lights were soldered for four days. During the shoot, another three days had to be invested in re-soldering, as the LED chains were damaged in the crashes.

Over the course of a month, filming took place on evenings until late at night at more than ten locations. Up to four cameramen were working simultaneously. The locations included various classic, but also atypical bike spots around the Fribourg region.
