My son, Jake, had the idea to shoot a couple hours of video of the action around our Ultimate Lighting Center during Bike Week. The genius of the idea was to speed up the video so that an hour of action would play in a few minutes. It sounded like fun and gave me a new challenge as an amateur video editor.
The wind finally died down enough on the last day of the event to do the filming. I was able to capture about 80 minutes of video from my small video camera, perched on the liftgate of the Kuryakyn rig, before the battery died. I’ve edited it, removed the audio & added a music track and sped it up so the 80 recorded minutes play in about 9 minutes. It’s really funny to watch how quickly I move our customers’ bikes around at this fast play speed.
Here’s the result, what do you think?
Below you’ll find the same video, but its been overexposed so you can get a view of the action in the dark area under the awning. Watch our installers as they work.
In spite of the cold and windy weather, we had a great Bike Week. It’s always nice to see so many of our customers, especially when they just stop by to tell us how pleased they are with their Boogey Lights. We also lit the 2nd and 3rd bikes for some of our customers who recently purchased a new ride. That always makes you feel good, especially knowing they have so many options when in Daytona. Here’s a slideshow of some of the sites around the Ultimate Lighting Center at Bruce Rossmeyer’s Destination Daytona.
Gary stopped by the Ultimate Lighting Center today to tell us how pleased he was with his Boogey Lights. They were installed at Americade six years ago.
Dennis, one of our installers, celebrated his birthday today. Up until mid-morning none of us had wished Dennis a Happy Birthday. We pretended we forgot all about it. Even though he didn’t say anything, you could tell Dennis was bummed that no one remembered. When we hit a lull in the business, we decided the time was right to pull out the cake we had purchased the night before.
We lit a customer’s V-Rod yesterday and today it was recoganized by Harley-Davidson’s Willie G and Bill Davidson for its great look. Check out the autographed bike photos and watch the video to watch Bo describe what happened.
