I don't know too much more about it besides what I've posted above, but the meeting is at the Bike Texas HQ right next to the 6th Street Cool Store, so if you're in the neighborhood next Saturday, swing by and see if this is something you want to do. From the sound of it if this PSA goes well they're going to be producing more, which in my opinion goes a long way to help with bicycle education, and integral part in the overall plan of the BikeTexas people to increase ridership and rider safety as it pertains to Texas' cycling community. If nothing else your face will be immortalized in one of those cheesy PSAs we all love. Sounds like a great opportunity to me!
Yes we know that our bike ed videos are boring... so, we need riders, drivers, plus folks with creative skills and talent to help produce something people will actually watch!
The Saturday meeting is to set a shoot date and locations, assign folks to particular tasks and find skilled people to help with the more technical aspects of producing the videos.
Adam has storyboarded his first couple of ideas for the project. We want to get something done before Interbike in Sept so we can try finding some money to fund the project. Right now we are self-funding (donations accepted!!)
