The making of Brandon’s One Shot segment

by 3

Last week you might have been aware of a frankly awesome segment from the unReal movie, in which Brandon Semenuk rides what seems to be a purpose-made trail in California, in one glorious take.

Actually, what the hell. Here it is again:

Now, a making-of has been released, which answers some of the questions raised, and gives a revealing insight into just how these things are done. Big trucks and ridiculously flashy looking cameras feature heavily.

Interestingly, there were one or two comments on the forum about whether the video was slowed down a smidge, in order to make it appear more languid. Well, without it being explicit, the stock footage does seem to be a little more on the swift side – so the answer may well have been yes.

Anyway – without further ado, here it is:

Barney Marsh takes the word ‘career’ literally, veering wildly across the road of his life, as thoroughly in control as a goldfish on the dashboard of a motorhome. He’s been, with varying degrees of success, a scientist, teacher, shop assistant, binman and, for one memorable day, a hospital laundry worker. These days, he’s a dad, husband, guitarist, and writer, also with varying degrees of success. He sometimes takes photographs. Some of them are acceptable. Occasionally he rides bikes to cast the rest of his life into sharp relief. Or just to ride through puddles. Sometimes he writes about them. Bikes, not puddles. He is a writer of rongs, a stealer of souls and a polisher of turds. He isn’t nearly as clever or as funny as he thinks he is.
