How could I use a bike to film someone running in my short film?

For my A Level art coursework, I am filming a short film. With a bog-standard 12MP HD video camera, at one point I'll be shooting someone running in a field. How can I achieve a smooth, effective shot? Bare in mind the ground isnt smooth, if you see what I mean?!?! Any tips at all would be welcomed, this is my first attempt at a short film!|||A bike is a horrible idea! You can't expect yourself to be very still holding the camera while maneuvering the bike!








Smooth freehand shots are usually taken with a steadicam - they can be rented from video equipment store. However, they can get expensive.

watch the video above. They offer some improvisations that can be used in replacement of the commercial steadicam.
