It should be followed shortly by the iPhone version, once Apple approve it. Hopefully. Never say never.
Anyway it should be a great night of short films on 22nd August at the Ritz Cinema in Randwick. See you there!
Hello! I have just revisited the Rider Risk project I produced for the Motorcycle Council, and thought I would share some of the achievements we’ve had. For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, go here and learn something about motorcycling! Ok, roll drums… in the last 9 months…
The US Army has added the videos to their Combat Readiness Centre, part of the Army intranet, that’s accessed by US soldiers anywhere in the world. The Army loses more soldiers to motorcycle accidents each year than to actual combat, so they thought the Rider Risk videos would help! We were happy to give our permission. 
27,000 copies of the videos were distributed on DVD with 2 Wheels magazine in Australia in January 2012.
The Irish government has asked permission to use them in TV spots over there.
The Swedish Motorcycle Coalition is using them as part of their standard training materials.
The NSW police rider training centre is also distributing them to students.
Finally, talks are underway with the Roads Authority in NSW to have a DVD copy of the videos distributed to all motorcycle learner riders in New South Wales.
I feel a sense of great satisfaction that not only are the videos well received, but that I might have helped riders improve their skills, and indirectly kept someone (or more!) out of a lot of pain somewhere in the world. Finally I’d also like to thank my motorcycle club once again for their help in making the videos, come out for a ride if you’re in Sydney! www.clubman.org.au
We shot a series of interviews at various locations across Sydney for the council. These were then used to create promotional videos celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the council, and also included a presentation to Julia Gillard at the Cancer Council Biggest Morning Tea in Canberra, Thursday, May 26, 2011. The Cancer Council Biggest Morning Tea is held to raise money for the fight against cancer. Thanks to Kate Dorrell. Edited by Alison Myers.
In 2011, Cancer Council Australia celebrates its 50th anniversary. We are proud to share our achievements in cancer support, prevention and research over the past five decades. Learn more about our work at http://www.cancer.org.au
