Make a Difference Ride More Bikes

Watch Video & Read StoryTeaser Photo






This is a Movie from Sept. 2005. It stands the test of time; only the gas prices have gone up.

There is also a great free-jazz soundtrack which uses Blondie's Heart of Glass for the melody.

This video was lifted from the Make a Difference Blog:
"I believe that it is possible to change the world through the smallest actions. This Blog explores the little things that not only I but others do in order to make a difference."

Here is the text from the post
"As a poor college student booming gas prices are a down right pain in the ass. So what does one poor student do? Or anybody for that matter? Well, there are many routs, but I decided to acquire a bike. I found one that didn't belong to anybody in the basement of the house I am living in. I got it fixed up, and now I am gas free. Sure it cost money to fix it, but in my mind I'm not only getting off my fat ass, and getting some exercise, but I am feeling good about it.

In my opinion the gas price boom is, in large part, due to panic. And I chose not to support it. I think when gas companies can price their gas in relation to the actual supply and demand of the country and stop profiteering than I will decide to support them, but until then I just have to make sure I leave for class a few minutes earlier than I would normaly.
What do you think?"


I think it's terrific! It's short and to the point. It says "fuck big oil. I'll ride my bike and it's more fun anyway."

The camera work is simple and effective. I love the above the head POV and the shadow shots. The music brings it all together.
