I'm not anti-Matthew far from it, I like his posts, I enjoy his youthful, naive, enthusiasm for what he does, however I think it's only fair to point out that if you don't like being criticised, then perhaps an Internet forum in not the best place to air your views.

No this thread is the wrong place air your video on the video. It has a comments section on youtbe and a threat decicated to the video already. Go find it and stop being lazy. While on irrelent places to post stuff on a forum. I have a cat! Who else had a cat?

I do, she is called Cyril-Sacknose and she has a flat face, her fur is white with brown patches! She enjoys ribbons and grunching!

[QUOTE 2443908, member: 1314"]Don't do a documentary unless you have completer editorial control. They'll make you look like a tool.[/quote]

I work in TV - no-one will use you in their programme, if you try to insist on complete editorial control (unless you're incredibly famous and/or important!)

However, you don't need anyone to record it for you. If they use your footage, they must contact you to ask you if they may use your footage. If they use your footage, just ask the production manager (or co-ord, or researcher) that contacts you to send you a DVD. We produce DVD copies for "contributors" all the time. They won't charge you for it.

Just be careful. The programme Gaz featured in didn't paint a good picture, despite his balanced approach to things. You are young, don't get involved with the media.

If the interview you did didn't go that well I would have thought that it would make the perfect piece of TV if they're aiming to make the cyclist's view seem biased or un-balanced.
Never underestimate the media's ability to take a completely innocuous comment and bend it to suit their needs.
Hopefully it'll be fine but remember the saying about playing with fire!

As I have said before, I am not too bothered about how I am portrayed. If people in my area see it, they will either know its me or not know. I dont know if the program will link the video (call it its proper name) or if they identify me (I have told them not to).
