EXCHANGE FOR CONTENT CREATORS IN PATAGONIA

EXCHANGE FOR CONTENT CREATORS IN PATAGONIA

Would you like to travel for free in Argentina? If you’re a fan of adventure, outdoor activities, cycling, and want to visit Bariloche, we have a proposal that might interest you.

FIRST WE WILL TELL YOU A LITTLE ABOUT US

We’re located in Bariloche, a popular tourist destination in Argentine Patagonia. As you can see, we specialize in cycling, bike tours, bicycle touring, and bikepacking. These activities take place from November to March. We have several platforms. The most important is this website. Secondly, our Instagram account. We also have a YouTube channel and Facebook page.

ABOUT US

WHAT DO WE WANT TO DO?

This project arose from the need to shoot short films and photograph a series of biketouring routes we offer our clients, so they can explore independently with our bikes and equipment. We offer a total of 20 self-guided routes and several guided tours. Most routes last between 4 and 7 days. The longest of all takes 30 days to complete. Guided tours last from 1 to 5 days.

ROUTES

WHAT IS THE DEAL?

You must make a short documentary film one route. In return, we will provide our service free of charge. This includes bicycles, panniers, a tent, camping equipment, and all accessories for a biketouring in Patagonia. Airfare, ground transportation, accommodations, or food are not included. You can request equipment for 1 or 2 people. Additional participants will be charged for the service.

Each route will be documented only once. Therefore, you can only choose routes that have not been previously filmed.

EQUIPMENT

WHAT TYPE OF CONTENT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

In this first stage of the project, we need to document all the multi-day self-guided bike touring routes. We want to show the essence of a bike trip, the landscapes, the adventure, the campsites and accommodations, and what daily life is like on a bike trip in Patagonia.

We need short films that include descriptions and narratives of each day, with instrumental music in the background, and that convey the emotions and personal experiences of the trip. Please try to use a tripod or stabilizer for static shots.

WHAT IS THE DESTINATION OF THE CONTENT?

Initially, these videos will be published on our YouTube channel and at the bottom of each route on our website.

The content must be filmed in HD or 4K (1920×1080) and professionally edited. If you have a drone or GoPro to complement the ground shots you have better chance to be chosen for the task. The video must have subtitles. We suggest a duration of 5 to 10 minutes for short routes and 10 to 20 minutes for longer routes.

You can also publish the video on your channel, but it must be a slightly different version from the original to avoid rejection due to duplicate video.

WHAT MATERIAL SHOULD YOU GIVE US?

1- The video mentioned above, edited and ready to be published.

2- The 20 best photos from the trip, from the ground or air, in high-quality, edited, and in horizontal format.

3- The 10 best RAW shots (no more than 10 seconds each shot), from the ground, air, or GoPro, so we can use them in our own edits and clips.

4- It’s important that you mention us at the beginning of the video so users recognize the footage as our own.

Here you can see some clips we’ve obtained through exchange in the past.

HOW DO I REQUEST AN EXCHANGE AND WHAT SHOULD I KEEP IN MIND?

You must write to us by email (not WhatsApp), indicating which route you would like to document and on what date. If the route you chose is already taken, we will provide you with a list of available options.

When writing the email, be sure to provide some personal information, including your previous experience, what you do, and what motivates you to take this trip.

Don’t forget to attach your previous work. We will take it into account when selecting candidates.

FINAL CONSIDERATIONS

The service must be paid for before departure and will be refunded upon delivery of the video. You have 20 days to edit and deliver the footage. The requester assumes responsibility and agrees to safeguard the material provided.

Take advantage of the trip and offer content for complementary services, such as hotels, campsites, lodging, and restaurants.

If this is your first bikepacking trip, we recommend reading the Bikepacking Patagonia section and we hope to see you soon in Bariloche!
