Eric catches video of NoHo Scooters’ Mike Frankovich helping Tom Hanks start his Riva at the L.A. Larry Crowne premiere last night. Despite what the uptight publicist in the foreground is thinking, this fragment of cinéma vérité will almost surely be Larry Crowne’s most memorable contribution to scootering legend, and will endear Tom Hanks to all scooterists forever. And I’m not being snarky for once.
Tonight is the Chicago premiere, see you there! The movie opens Friday nationwide, our Larry Crowne contest runs through Saturday.
Also, props to experimental filmmaker Eric Almendral’s penchant for boldly shooting vertically-oriented video, I’m glad I’m not the only one that does that.
Yeah. Vertical video is annoying.
Fixed aspect ratios are for fascists. Free the shackles of avant-garde cinema!
Somebody had to get it running!
Good job, Mike!
Personally, I’m a fan of angled video. I want corner to corner distance.
hm. one sided fork, a la vespa, Riva 180, I believe. Vintage by today’s standards. nothing like the sweet Riva 200s.
