Push the social side of it, I think more people are using it as a social site....and well you can angle the match making side near the end as two people come into focus or pan in with the old holding hands maybe caught kissing in shot or even getting on the bike into the sunset ha ha....corny but its an idea.....
alternatively just say biker match come along have fun meet people then pan camera and everyones naked and running around.... PMSL, the new sign ups would be rolling in ha ha
Euck - can tell you don't see what'sinmy mirror, better have someBM sacks lol!
Spot on with comments tho JTB, highlight the social side as that has to be a pulling point.
wat a great idea aaron , think the filming at rallies a good idea but u could also do something at one of the night outs lol although there might be a lot of edit,n for those

When people decide to pay for a site like this it's a very personal thing to do. Some people join after looking at forums for weeks to see what the craque is first, some people are looking at it as a dating site and some as a social site so I think a load of bikers at a do would only appeal to a small section of the market IMO

An interview with someone whose genuinely found a social life (could be at a do) and a couple who've met through BM as well as a biker do for the socialites might be better

Apologies madhat if i'm repeating an idea, just had visions of a load of pee'd up bikers and thought that would have probably put me off spending my hard earned
lol a can see why u thought that but a all round over view would be excellent , the rallies,the social side, and how people got together through the site, cos we all want something different from the site and if you can show all sides eveybody wins
Something to remember if you film at a rally or similar is that it'll fall under the laws covering commercial work, and you'll need written permission from the people that you film. People in the background are probably OK if you can't identify them, but if somebody is the focus of a scene you need to be able to prove "informed consent". Plus if it's a private site you probably need permission from the landowner. Possibly public liability insurance too.
Hes doing media at Uni ... all over my head ... but he loves it
Would you be willing to offer advice etc when its ready to go forward Gary ... Hes great at some things but lacks a bit of experience with others?
I used to be a part of the department that did some of the filming for the Uni I work for, but it wasn't actually my area. I only know of the issues because of having to listen to other people complaining about it. So I don't know if there's anything I could actually help with.
