Max Hind’s Video Description
TITLE: THE ENEMY
My entry for the competition features two of the UK's top young talents, who also happen to be brothers. Ben Watson is 17 years old and currently sits in third place in the European EMX 250 Championship. Nathan Watson is 20 years old and has just got earned himself a factory ride in the GPs, racing for IceOne Husqvarna. The concept behind this video is to showcase the unique motocross brotherhood in which we are enemies on the track, but off the track we are allies—or in this case, even brothers. I hope you enjoy the film. It was shot at Doncaster Moto Parc in the UK by myself and my father, Phil, on the second camera. The concept, script, and edit for the film were done by me.

TITLE: THE COMEBACK
I found out about this competition two weeks ago and I didn't have much time to plan and execute the film, but I did it. I got a friend, Caleb Tennant, who is a top South African motocross rider, to ride around one of the best tracks in Cape Town. We unfortunately got the worst day possible to shoot, but we did as much as we could with the little time we had. I had a lot of fun shooting and editing this short promotional video for Caleb.
