Tour de France advert

Went into the Freetown bike shop today to ask about shooting in their shop. It's a real interesting set up and obviously full of expensive and interesting looking racing bikes we could use. All the staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming and said we can almost shoot whatever we want as long as we weren't getting in the way of customers or dragging cables through the store that people could trip over. This means we can almost get all the shots we want as the store has some really interesting places none more so then this set up that we put together that you can see in this picture. The wooden platform sits right at the back of the store and has several top lights above it that can he rotated to face the platform. After asking whether we could use the bike that you can see in shot we placed the bike on the platform just to get an idea for space that we could work in which works very well as there is great space around it which a means we will be able to cover almost all angles. The main reason behind requesting that bike is I felt it mirrors the colours of British euro sport rather well certainly out of the bikes they had available. For me it looks very professional like a bike that could easily be used for races like the Tour de France. But after studying a bit about the company we are making the advert for I think the colours represent their colours very well also so I hope to use a strong light on it to give the bike a shine and bring the brightness of the whites and blues out to represent how we want to show how Eurosport is love in HD so therefore the colours would be bright and bold which I hope to create with simple lights we can use without dragging a load to the building and then rigging wires across the shop as explained earlier they requested we didn't have wires running across the store so hopefully the above built in lights as well as the portable LED light we have available will be enough to bring the colours and the shimmer of the metal and alloy of the bike.
