SHORT FILM - THE MODERN MOTORCYCLE DIARIES

500 DAYS ON THE ROAD

Inspired by Walter Salles’ 2004 movie, The Motorcycle Dairies, Alex Chacon documented his 500 day motorcycle trip from Alaska to Argentina. Using a montage style technique to present his journey, the GoPro footage is cleverly captured using helmet, body and bike mounts, along with the innovative use of a pole mounted camera to achieve unique angles. An uptempo single music track gives the film energy and the visuals paint a picture of adventure motorcycle travel through different countries. Check his webpage for further adventures.
