General Questions for the STUND Crew:
When did this project start? What made you decide to do a second season? Must have been 5 years back! Kinrade, Super T, Dylan Tremblay and myself all had the idea in my basement to do a project of our own that was similar to "Drop In" but with our favorite locations, our own crew and to focus on creating a movie like feel to the show.
Give us a rundown of Stund 2, Who's in it, where it's shot, when did it all take place, how many episodes... STUND 2. The young B.C. blood has arrived with James Dorfling and Garret Buehler. These guys are the prodigies of B.C. right now and they are on the tour full time! Then of course there's my partner Mike Kinrade and we have hired back Tamas Forde to keep the show looking crisp!
How long can we expect each episode to be? We don't have a set format for this, but we are going to be around the 15-20 minute range. We figure as long as it is still entertaining we will keep them going.
What's your favorite location you have been to this season? Silver Star home pad! Boys were just loving the trails up there!
Who is all involved in the production? Mike, Tam, and Myself.
What's the production time line on this project? Haha.. Tuff questions. We've dreamed of this show for years before it happens. But actually on the road shooting about 6-7 weeks. Post production another couple months there.
How much time was spent filming for each 15-20 minute episode? It varied, sometimes things went smoothly. Sometimes things were not so smooth. You get the idea. But we shot the Utah episode in 1 week from arrival to departure!
What equipment are you filming with? We had a variety of gear we came up with:
-Canon Mini sniper HD
-Hero Cam chest mount
-Sony XD cam EX.
-Pole Cam
-Hair Straight Back 15 passenger van with custom 10 bike roof rack.
Any serious injuries to report from filming? No way!
Who's behind this project financially? (sponsors) Mongoose Bikes, Transition Bikes, Scott USA, Adidas Eyewear, Lizard Skins, and Funn.
Being on the road in the US for long stretches filming, what is the fast food joint of choice? McDonald's egg mcmuffin after 20 hours of driving straight at 6 am.
if so, why.
