Connor Fearon has been hanging out in Bromont getting some preseason training before the World Cups kick off, so when he told us a video he just made with Vincent Allard was awesome we took note. Turns out the chairlift is closed during the week so Connor had to push up but at least it counts as training! ThisA�edit has it all, lens tear offs in the air, whips on that infamous Bromont bridge and Connor just shredding. We chatted with Vincent Allard, the filmmaker behind the edit, this is what he had to say;
Hi Vincent, thanks for talking to downhill247.com about your latest edit, before we talk about that though do you mind giving us a little bit of insight into yourself:
Hello, my name is Vincent Allard, Ia��m 23 years old and from Montreal, Canada. Ia��ve always been into bike riding and started doing bike videos a few years ago.
For this edit of Connor you went out to Bromont to film, what was the aim for this edit, was there a particular mood or message you were hoping to capture?
Yes we filmed this edit in Bromont, Qc which is the home base of Connor and Mitch during the summer season (and was the only hill available at the time of the shoot). We were not looking into making something extra special with the edit. I had just built a cable cam and my simple goal was to test it and make Connor a small video to get him stoked on the upcoming WC season.
A�How would you describe Connora��s riding today?
The riding was really crazy. He fired that gap into a berm that I didna��t even know was possible. I dona��t know how he managed to rail the berm after.
What do you look for in successful edit?
For me the key part into a successful edit is to feel that the people in it are enjoying what they do. I sometimes watch super crazy movies that were shot with 50ka��s camera and I dona��t like it because the riders dona��t look like they are having a good time.
Do you prefer shooting racing or more casual riding?
I prefer casual riding but racing is fun too, two different worlds.
A�Do you shoot any other type of sports, genres, etc.
Yes, I film lots of other different biking style and also cars. Ia��m slowly starting to make documentary and narrative movies too.
Finally, where can we see some more of your work?
Most of my work are on my clienta��s website but you can find a few videos I made on my Vimeo.
Thanks Vincent for the Inside Info! Now we suggest you watch the edit again!
