Got together with a couple of my media/car buddies to try our hand at some decent footage/editing. I edited, my friends supplied the camera's and rigs. I am pleased with how it came out but as with anything my OCD kicks in and I always feel like it's not finished. Ah well. Let me know what you guys think and of course. Criticism is welcomed!!! lol

I want to take this time to thank everyone who helped make this video happen.

Matt Wright (Mattzoom) HUGE THANKS DUDE!!!!

Kevin Volz (yfzkevin)

Tyler Key (the departed)

and Matt Gallagher (Myselfaffliction)

Without these guys it wouldn't have been possible!!!!!!

 

Very impressive video man. But lol @ the hatch flying up at 2:18 after the burnout. That car is pretty sick, basically what I want mine to end up like.

 

That was amazing! You have one hot car, just sweet, clean, fast, gorgeous. I like the part when you got out to smoke Those cars shouldn't be smoked in. You did a great job

 

Damn electric pull downs......always breaking.

Thanks!!! Although I smoke in my car, I agree they shouldn't be smoked in lol.

 

great video

the burnout in the end was pretty sweet

 

Thanks!!!!

 

Thats a sick video man! One thing I have to know though...where did you get that shirt?!

 

Myself and another Member on here had them custom made!!!

 

yup sickness

 

I see someone watches top gear. Much Top Gear influence there. Like the video.

But fix your hatch! Watching that thing bounce up and down was frustrating!

 

Haha Yup! And I thought the bungee cords would be enough to hold it down but I guess not lol.

you must be the stig because you are as sharp as the teeth on the hammerhead

 

Very nice vid!! What editing software was used??

Edit: The vid was taking a while to load. I saw the software used at the end.

 

Awesome video. Love it. Sure, a bit of Top Gear influence, but its great. Who doest love Top Gear. I think that is just the modern style of how things are shot now a days. You guys up’d the anti how car videos should be made.

 

Lol I dont see the Top gear thing.

Thanks for the comments gents!

 

The Top Gear bit was because of the style of shots chosen for the video. The Pans, focus..etc. Its a style that is used heavily by Top Gear, they were the first to apply it to car video reviews, though Fifth gear uses a similar style, and MotorTrend is using bits and pieces of it now instead of their boring narration.

The Top Gear comment is a compliment because when it comes to Car Shows NOTHING tops Top Gear for cinematography.

 

Amen!!!

 

I always try to introduce family and friends who like cars to Top Gear. I don't need a US, German, or Australian edition. I need only UK top gear and all is well.

Its why I have EVERY episode from season 1 to season 17 read for instant viewing from the home theater PC.

 

well i do watch UK Top Gear alot.. im usually Top Gear while at work since it gets boring..

 

I give it a 99.999% rating. I deducted the 0.001% for the wind noise on the camera as you pulled into the lot to get out & smoke, then a little later cruising down the road which caught some wind noise. I know the goal was to get nice to get exhaust sound in, but when the wind noise overides the exhaust sound you get? I'd rather just lose any on-scene sound & stick with the music.

I've done a few myself & had to settle for having just the music too in certain spots, because of wind noise. Love that video editing software those! Awesom effects. Did you have some "professional" rigging to get the smooth pans & sweeps along & around the car?

 

Wow! thats one bad azz ride in a sweet azz video,Great work

 

I will take it!!!


If a tripod and a suction cup is professional then yes, yes I did lol

 

hey do you know where I could watch it online?

 

Nice video.

 

it seems to be freezing 30 seconds in but great camaro dude

 

BBC America shows it, but they are usually several seasons behind the show. And they cut out stuff.....like the politically inappropriate jokes (which if there is one thing thats true about TG, is that its inappropriate)

 

my favorite is vw headshot suicide comercial and the from berlin to warsaw on one tank that was bloody funny.

 

You can watch some parts on YouTube which sucks sometimes because they don't tell from what season they are from
I usually download some videos from YouTube to keep in my records and see the episode that I don't have

But I get my Top Gear show from iTunes which is not bad because they are Already converted for my iPod and iPhone

You can try there website also but not sure if it will help out
