Na Krilima Vetra (Wind Riders)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Na Krilima Vetra (English: Wind Riders) is a small production company comprised of talented individuals normally working as television professionals, who find the ultimate joy in traveling on their motorcycles. Fusing these two gave birth of an idea on filming their adventures in a raw and natural way following hi-quality standards.
Their latest project: Zemlja Vatre (English: Land of Fire) is a television travel documentary that follows three bikers on their 75 days, 11.000 kilometers trip from Belgrade, Serbia to Azerbaijan and its capital Baku. The series is filmed in high-definition video format with Sony XDCAM HD as a main filming camera, in addition of two smaller HDV cameras.
The trip takes three friends: Mladen Jankovic (producer), Marko Cvetkovic (cameraman\photographer) and Branko Knezevic (electronic engineer\mechanic) through less known parts of Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, Crimea, Russia and Georgia during which they film their numerous adventures.
The team travels without the support vehicle, carrying entire professional filming equipment, and everything they need to survive this 2.5 months journey, on their motorcycles. In order to experience the adventure in whole, they make a camp every night, sleeping under the open sky.
In addition to talking with the locals and short comments by the crew members from the video diary, the narrator plays a significant role in connecting the trip and events into a coherent whole.
The team enters the cultural and social life of each city they pass through on their journey, paying special attention to the capitals, their motor-clubs, night life, food and landmarks. Each city and locality of interest is planned within the scenario and each of them will have the notice and plan of shooting.
The series consisted of eight episodes, lasting twenty four minutes. Each episode included occasional video diaries in which the crew members would share their excitement, fears and discontentments.
Apart from being the first show of its kind, made in this part of Europe it also broadens the boundaries of the reality show genre. It questions the bad reputation of bikers as it introduces the group of modern, educated and well groomed young people.
