"Burn the Witch" - Radiohead | Verdant Ride Efoiling Music Video

Verdant Ride Efoiling Music Video | "Burn the Witch - Radiohead"
Welcome to the latest Verdant Ride video, where we take eFoiling to the next level with some experimental filming techniques and a killer soundtrack. In this video, I cruise on my favorite eFoil setup while jamming to Radiohead's "Burn the Witch," combining the thrill of eFoiling with some cinematic camera moves.

What's in the Video:

Bullet Time Effects: Using the Insta 360 X3, I played around with various camera angles and rotation techniques to create a bullet time effect, giving you an immersive, almost 3D view as the camera circles around me while I'm riding. This was inspired by the classic bullet-dodging scene from The Matrix.
Camera Techniques: I experimented with different mounts and angles to maximize the Insta 360 X3's capabilities. Expect to see some creative transitions, wide-angle shots, and close-ups that bring you right into the action.
eFoiling Setup: For this ride, I'm on my Lift4 Pro 4'2" with the 32" Mast, LCS Prop (no shroud), 100 Surf V2 front wing, and the 36 Glide stabilizer. This setup gives me the perfect balance of speed, control, and agility—ideal for pulling off smooth carves and tight turns, especially when you want to look good on camera!
Music: Radiohead's "Burn the Witch" sets a moody, intense tone that perfectly complements the dynamic movements of eFoiling. The track’s rhythmic strings and haunting vocals create a powerful backdrop, enhancing the visual experience of the ride.

Filming Equipment:

Camera: Insta 360 X3
Editing Software: Final Cut Pro with additional plugins for motion tracking and color grading.
Behind the Scenes:

Challenges: Filming while eFoiling isn’t easy, especially when you're trying to capture those epic bullet time shots. Balancing the camera, maintaining speed, and hitting the right angles required a lot of trial and error.
Learning Curve: This video was as much a learning experience as it was fun. The Insta 360 X3's versatility allowed for some fantastic shots, but mastering the controls while riding took some practice.
Verdict: If you're into eFoiling and love creative filming, this video is a must-watch. I had a blast putting it together, and I hope it inspires you to push the limits of what's possible with your eFoil and action camera.
