    Expertly printed by Stumptown Printers

    Our 10th Anniversary poster is perforated and breaks into spoke cards and a wrist/arm cuff that we want you to wear to opening night. Every year we work closely with Stumptown Printers to create a fine poster. Using printing presses so old they have soul, Stumptown Printers creates an amazing piece of work.

    This year’s poster was designed by Drew Marshall.

    We are selling our DVDs for only $5 (a special show price) and giving away copies of our stellar 10th Anniversary poster, printed by Stumptown Printers. The poster is perforated and breaks into spoke cards and a wrist cuff, which you should wear on opening night.

    You can print out your own copy of the poster here, but we guarantee it won’t be nearly as impressive as the fine print work Stumptown produces on their printing presses so old they have soul.

    Stop by our booth to say hi!

    Traveling around the world is no easy task.  To help make it happen, the team formed an organization called Solidream. They worked for two years cultivating partnerships with corporations, local businesses and private donors to fund the trip and garner the support they need to sustain and document their travels.  Through their website, the travel team shares articles, pictures and video with sponsors and fans around the world which has also kept donations coming in.

    But for all this adventuring by bike with documentation, they don’t consider themselves cyclists or filmmakers. They’re just adventurers.  Bikes became the group’s preferred method of travel partly due to affordability but also because they are a fun and adventurous way to get around.  Brian says bicycling gave them more of a feel for the scale of the world and provided ample opportunities for interacting with local people.

    17 months ago, Morgan, Vera and Bertrand (Brian met up along the way) left France and biked their way through terrains as diverse as the dry Sahara and the steep Andes.  A 40-day hot, humid trek through the Amazon, two weeks at 5000 feet elevation in Bolivia, and even the severe weather encountered on a sailing trip to Antarctica were difficult but rewarding.  Brian says the hardest part of the journey so far hasn’t been those physical challenges, but rather the mental endurance.  Being together 24 hours a day is tough, but being a part of a team definitely helped them conquer  terrain, weather and equipment issues.

    Along the way, Brian says, “We have been extremely moved by the people we’ve met.”  Good byes are hard because of the rewarding time they spend with people and every picture taken has an incredible story behind it.

    The group is almost a year and a half into the trip but time has been flying.  Bertrand went back to France and is providing logistical support, but the rest of the team continues on. They just completed a 24-day trek through Mexico, which included a stop in Puerto Vallarta to relax and edit a movie for Filmed by Bike that encapsulates the trials and triumphs of the first half of their adventure. “490 Days of Adventures and Challenges Around the World” plays all shows on Friday, and in the Adventure Shorts program Saturday and Sunday at 7pm.

    Next stop? Filmed by Bike, of course! The crew plans to arrive in Portland this April to see their movie on the big screen and participate in a filmmaker Q+A session.

This is an exciting and fun job for the right person.

    We’re looking for a programmer to assemble 45+ movies (and supplemental material) into a series of 6 different programs. This is detailed work. Some movies repeat in multiple programs.

    TIMELINE

    The programmer will have between March 1 and April 5 to complete the work. There is no flexibility on the deadline. We will get 80% of the material to the programmer by March 12, the final 20% by March 18.

    Our festival is April 13-18. It is expected that the programmer be on call during this time should anything go wrong.

    DETAILS

    The final product must be a professional quality DVD that plays flawlessly.

    We receive different formats of source material and it is expected that the programmer will work with these various formats. Some files may be pulled from a server, most will be on a disc.

    We receive different screen ratios, but everything needs to be optimized for 16:9. It has to look great!

    The sound must be normalized across all films. If you do not know what this means, this project is probably not a good fit for you.

    We do not work in HD or surround sound (though some submissions will be formatted that way).

    TO BID ON THIS JOB

    Please send us your qualifications and bid on this project.

    We are happy to answer any clarifying questions before you submit your bid.
