Harley Davidson held an open call for promos on Poptent for the Harley Davidson Museum in Milwaukee. Though the brand isn’t obligated to buy any of the videos that Poptent filmmakers create, Harley decided two buy two videos for $5,000 each. The first is a mini-documentary featuring actual museum patrons by director Dan Lamoureux of Crapbot Productions. The second is a moody and exciting montage of text and footage cut together by Poptent user “Trinay.” Hey…. according to her bio she attended that Travel Channel film school! That looks fun and I’ve actually thought about doing that.  Guess they taught “Trinay” a trick or two that’s really paid off.

Purchased by Brand. Fee: $5,000.

I think these are really great choices. Both have such a unique style and they compliment each other nicely. Way to go Harley Davidson for the surprise double-buy!  On a side note, I’ve actually been to the Harley Davidson Museum in Milwaukee and it is almost certainly the best niche museum I’ve ever been to.  If you like bikes you’ll want to spend all day there.
