ROOSTER

Drogo Michie is an acclaimed art director. He picked up the gauntlet I chucked on the floor here on the SideBlog last month, challenging
'ad-land types' to produce a feel-good movie inspired by the Deus clips we love so much but centred around the UK short track scene. He is normally off-screen, in the wings; one player in a large team involved in big money commercials. This was his first time behind the lens. No budget and no team (except me as gopher). Suck it and see. BP

    Good job.......you captured the mood and atmosphere in the pits perfectly.
    Love the sparks from Geoff's steel shoe and the shot of Bully#66 in the wheelbarrow with his dog. What's next, prey tell and when are you coming racing?

    The music is credited at the end. It's by British band and Sideburn favourites The Stags. G

    What a brilliant video - great footage of the skooterfarm pits! I was considering doing something similar...

    How's the XS650 going.

    Hi Father T,
    Thanks mister, the xs is all jolly apart from the front calliper ( even after BP's manly intervention) so as a reward for something I can't remember I'm bidding on a Duccati one tonight ( SBer's please don't bid against me, please)!!

    Ah yes, xs650 front end, the only thing I've got left to change is the disc! Ducati caliper sounds interesting,
