MARBELLA, Spain - Nov. 5, 2013 - PRLog -- SOULFUEL: Bringing the R nineT to life

Costa del Sol based SANTA MONICA PRODUCTIONS was recently tasked as a service production company to help Good Guys Productions Berlin and BMW with documenting and bringing to life the classically-designed roadster bike’s customization options. The highly anticipated model, paying homage to the trendsetting 1923 BMW R32 with its flat twin boxer engine, was constructed to offer a wide range of customization and modification options to riders. Its architecture incorporates tubular steel space-frame made specifically to incorporate the boxer engine as a load-bearing element, augmented by an integrated steering head and rear swingarm mounting. The 18-liter tank, handlebar clamp and yokes, among others, are made using light-weight aluminum, which are hand brushed and hand coated for the attractive anodized finish. Using either factory made accessories or custom-built add-ons, the bike design facilitates the creation of unique, individualized bikes for the biking community.

The traditional façade, nonetheless, conceals some of the most advanced chassis and drive components in a modern motorcycle, and comfortably generating a horsepower output in excess of 81 kW (110 hp.) at 7,750 rpm and a maximum torque of 119 Nm (88 lbf-ft) at 6,000 rpm from a 1,170 cc engine. The bike comes with a removable pillion frame that could turn the two seater into a single seater, and vice versa.

To fully illustrate the amazing customization possibilities, BMW Motorrad brought in respected professional motorcycle customizers "SEVEN NAMES"

To capture the rugged essence of the R nineT and the adventurous spirit of these seven men, SANTA MONICA PRODUCTIONS  organized for BMW and Good Guys Entertainment Berlin a road trip to the beautiful provinces of Granada and Almeria located in the southeast of Spain. BMW  recruited well-known industry names, Uta Bodenstein and Maximilian Cress, to serve as the production’s Director and Director of Photography respectively.

Using their intimate knowledge of the local area and long experience, the firm’s two principals, Yiannie Lamb (partner) and Kirsten Fleig (producer), helped to put into moving picture a storyboard that emphasized an atmosphere of camaraderie between the seven aficionados interspaced between customizing the motorcycle and magnificently-shot riding sequences. SANTA MONICA PRODUCTIONS scouted in advanced for the perfect location and route for the documentary. The filming, which took place in September 2013, was conducted mainly inside a wonderfully - aged workshop and on long stretches of desolate-looking roads. The arid, subtropical summer climate of the surrounding areas served as an ideal backdrop for the video.

The finished documentary, filmed in high definition, manage to successfully capture the sense of freedom and adventure often felt by riders, while highlighting the varied, practical and stylish personalization options of the machines. The final campfire scene, in particular, resonated strongly with experienced weekend and enduro riders. The director even made an amusing cameo right at the end. The icing on the cake, however, was how incredibly handsome and robust the R nineT looked in almost every scene.

The video, which can be viewed in Youtube format on the SMP web site at http://www.santamonicaproductions.com/en/showreels.php, has garnered over 80,000 views within the first two days of release, making it one of Motorrad’s most viewed videos on Youtube, a testament to the emotional impact it has managed to create with the target demographic.

The Future of Commercial and Information Video Production, Spain
