The finished bike looks great! I know your friend will be one happy camper. But I gotta say, the beauty of the bike was blown away by how great the filmwork was! Hats off to Madam Penny! So many different camera angles, so many cuts, fades and dissolves. The lighting could seriously not be improved upon. This little ending to a series could have been just a series of Before and After. But Penny made putting the puzzle back together hold the eye as if this was all something completely new, blink and you'll miss an important part of the bike's architecture that you have never seen before... even though we have all watched the previous two parts and sort of "know" this bike a little. When a film is this well put together for the viewer, the subject can be totally familiar and still be exciting to see. There was zero wish to "hurry up and show us the final glory". That's good film making and editing right there! Thanks guys for doing all this work for us. It IS appreciated!

Thank you so much for such kind and generous words of support and encouragement Tommy.. As you probably know by now, the job is all about the editing, making the content watchable by considering things like continuity and just the right amount of brevity to balance between keeping it interesting and still keeping it moving towards the finish. No experts at this by any means, just know what we like to watch, and achieve what we can with what the equipment we have.. Take care buddy.. and thank you again. D&Px

Once again, thank you for your kind words mate.

Thanks Rick, back in the day when I worked in the bike trade we took old bikes in part-exchange and it was essential to do this kind of thing to make them saleable, not hiding anything or mis-representing a bike, just tidying it up in a short period of time so you could sell it for a half decent price... people won't buy a scruffy old bike, certainly not from a dealer, so a little make over was all if often took! Thank you for your kind words, although not on screen, Penny does play a pivotal part in what we do, couldn't do without her!

I'm so grateful I live and ride in the desert southwest United States where corrosion is a mythical monster we only see on KZread channels. As always, nice work! Edit: What's that tacky foam stuff you use to fill bolt holes and other voids you don't want painted called? That looks useful.

@Moonfleet41

4 ай бұрын

Hey Paul, oh how I wish salt corrosion was a myth here too!... same as our biker brothers in Australia and South Africa where it's just red dust and the odd wet day! Sadly a factor of life here... The masking foam is a pro paint shop product designed for the job you saw, it's much like regular draft excluder your mama used to stick round the door except the foam is chemically resistance to paint... but if you can't find any, the draught excluder does work too.

We need an audio of it running that’s for sure

Bike looks a whole lot better now. I wonder how your friend reacted when he saw it all dolled up and shiny. 😄
