[Pank]

not horrible or anything, but WHY do people ALWAYS USE linkin park for car videos?

[chattslides14]

I actually made one with swollen members but non of my friends liked it so i uploaded this one instead.

[ROUGE180]

I was fine until you tried to kill the horse.. Hugs not Thugs dammit..

[chattslides14]

Its just some video i gathered from friends but its not as close to the horses as you might think and the guy in the car owns the horses

[SoSideways]

Argh...

If I owned a dog and beat it daily, does that make it "right"?

NO!

Just because that guy owns those horses doesn't mean it's RIGHT to almost run them over.

[ROUGE180]

I was joking lol. Good start with the vids though. Just got to make sure your camera man has a steady hand.

[chattslides14]

Im not arguing if its morally right. I just wanted feed back on the video not if it s ethically right. We are from Tenn. what do you expect.

hahaha oh.... loved the burn out though.. I was waiting for the tires to catch on fire.

[SoSideways]

The editing isn't bad.

But choosing the right footages for the video is part of editing, and just the fact that it's in there sort of gives people an idea what you guys think is cool/fun/funny/awesome/etc.

What I would suggest, footage choice aside, would be to lower the music slightly during the racing segments where most people would rather hear the engine noises and what not over Linkin Park.

[exitspeed]

I dunno, video woulda been cool in like 01...not that cool anymore.

[phi_ho1]

:) good job

[chattslides14]

So what kinda video is cool now???

[z3nk1dr1ft]

that bitch is going to the glue factory.

[dirtdiggler666]

music is lame freeway runs are lame

ya seems like a video from 2000 back east

[YoungGun]

Nice editing, I just HATE that song, well any linkin park for that matter.

[z3nk1dr1ft]

I guess that would be when you were in your prime eh? Its better than any video i have seen from you. Make a better one and we will critique. :) :fawk2:

[exitspeed]

So what kinda video is cool now???

One where there isn't people driving around, doing donuts, and pretty much accomplishing nothing. Like people said, song is cliche.

What program did you use?

You should look into After Effects and learn how to use it.

Give him some credit. At least he took some effort to make a video. Its just random footage he had. Obviously the video wasnt made for content but to learn how to edit. He is looking for constructive criticism.

[s13 @ fullboost]

I thought it was cool sucks about the horse with the STI lol and that black cobras fender gap was nasty =/ but over all cool video

You still havent said what good video content is WTF I just got after effects and premiere pro cs4 i used microsoft movie maker Sorry but there are no drift events here in tenn.

[exitspeed]

1. Punctuation.

2. When you post a vid on here you should expect criticism and opinions. I just said it looked dated. We've seen 100's of vids like this posted on Zilvia over the years and frankly this one isn't all that impressive. Nothing personal.

Good luck and enjoy premier and AE. Cool ass programs.

[1994Boy]

Its a good video. But bad music. Also I think you need a better Cam too

[DisEpyon]

i agree with others,

change the music and cut the music or lower it really really low in the races. That shit is getting old and annoying. I can go out and buy a cd or download a song if i want to hear it, but i cant do the same with a specific car.

[chattslides14]

Thanks for the feed back. Its my first video and the night shot does suck. Ill get a better camera when the time comes. For now my little handy cam is good enough for me. As far as the footage being dated you still havent answer what is good video content?? This is what goes on here in Tenn. I like criticism as long as it has reason. For instance i know to turn the music down a bit, use different music, and get a better camera. The camera will have to wait but the other 2 i can do something about.

[C. Anderson]

The video editing was ok. As far as being in TN, I'm in TN and there are plenty of drift events in Memphis and Nashville which are an hour and a half away from you. You make it sound like all of TN is nothing but country bumpkins and have nothing to do but highway runs with Mustangs and chasing horses with STI's.

[chattslides14]

Nashville is a lot more than an hour and half away. I do not see anything wrong with hwy runs. But we have been talking to the local scca to get events here. I hope we do it would be awesome.

[Black240Ct]

night shots in the car werent too bad. some ppl dont get it so much..

i would like to see some better camera holding. looking at a shaky camera or a race then the dude cant hold the camera on the two cars or something. kinda blows

set it on the door or something more sturdy then someones arms.
my 2 cents

[MunsonAuto]

I thought it wasn't bad at all, I'd rather watch that than a fair amount of other vid's on youtube because this had multiple clips of different things, not just the same thing 12 times in a row, it was mixed up which I liked.

[chattslides14]

I didn't video any of this. But ive talked to my friends about holding it better. My friend Kevin taped most of this his come back was its kinda hard to hold your hand up in a car that accelerates that fast. I hope to get some better footage this weekend but honestly it will be more hwy pulls and antics that accomplish nothing. Just some people having fun in their cars. I also got a cruise cam camera mount so i might try that out.

[holaback]

I was about to view it but then saw your reply about linkin park. If theres anythign about bfe boys is they love rock music and LSX motors

Wtf is this shit seriously??? I dont know what point you are trying to make other than you know where to find gay video's. I just wasted part of my life.

Obviously you are not capable of such driving but the editing and camera work is very good.

You honestly dont know me. That being said i would put money the same thing could be said about you and 95% of the people on this site.

[txrxs]

You posted a dated looking video of lame shit and expected this site of all sites to kiss your ass. I'm glad you're trying to learn programs, that's a good start, but don't expect cause you have said programs that your product will be any good. The programs are a tool, and if you do not have the skills or content, the end product will suck no matter what programs you have. If you want honest opinions, that team idle video is pretty much the same thing as yours, but they have better pacing. If you wouldn't have started to act like a child and taken the constructive criticism like a man then people wouldn't be jumping down your throat. Man up, just cause you can make a movie, doesn't make it a good one.

FYI- I live in Indiana and I know about events in TN, looks like you're not trying very hard. Slide away bro!

Yes, I honestly don't know you. :ugh:

Saying how rad you are is dated too.

Dude, you're stuck in 2001.

Get over it.

Vids like you posted were cool to watch 10 years ago. Shit is fuckin lame now. A vid like that takes 10 min to shoot and 10 min to edit. I don't know what else you want me to say. It was not that good. PERIOD.

And I posted a bad ass vid that is full of awesome so you had some inspiration.

Good luck learning AE, it's a bad ass program.


This is the first time I've honestly missed our rep system...

You need to read the full thread before you post. I wanted opinions but no one has even said what content would be good. Let me know and ill be more than glad to do that. Acting like a child?? You are name calling on the internet thats childish in everyone's book. I understand that most of you dont like this video. Have reason and let me know then give your opinion of what would be good. Ill act on those i can actually do something about but saying thats gay i can do better then giving no reason. I cant fix a mistake with out knowing what ive done wrong.

[exitspeed]

Ok let me break it down for you:

-Music sucks (has already been said)
-Text in title is weak. The motion is a start but nothing new.
-Filming yourself passing people in the freeway is boring. We all do this every day. It's not shot at a cool angle.
-Sequences are too long. There's 20 something seconds of you guys getting on the freeway. Boring.
-Again more lame camera work after that.
-More lame speeding on the streets.
-Donuts by the STi are lame. Kinda cool spot to do it, but the driving sucks.
-Then back to more lame street racing. You're next to someone and then you blow by them and show them behind you. You already did that shot. And 10,000 other people have done it before you.
-A min of nothing but a burnout that anyone on here can do.
-Closing credits are standard.

There you have it. everything that makes that vid lame. Again, back in 2001 this would have been an entertaining vid because we all wouldn't have seen the same kinda vid 10,000 times before.

That link I posted earlier (YouTube - Ken Block Gymkhana Practice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs-jAImScms)) THAT is fuckin killer.

Happy? Now back to the drawing board you go.

[blueshark123]

wow this video sucked give me back my time and as far as a a good video goes here watch this GT LIVE Proam drift @ VIR 2008 HD on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/1919349)

Thanks the ken block video i actually told my friend about it and he posted it here. It's my first try at this stuff and thats all the video i had what video would be good to make something out of i know we all like drifting. But the events are limited. Im thinking i live in the mountains so ive got a lot of nice curvy roads and some friends with nice cars i might video that this weekend and play around with that. Im normally not a internet shopper but this is something that is made for you guys the viewers. What would you honestly like to see. Tell me and ill get it on video.

We would honestly like to see you get on the track and play there. I hate logging in to see a frontpage post about some crappy video where people endager other drivers, livestock and cars. Wait for a track day.

Exactly. People around the midwest drives hours to attend drifting events and other racing.

No one on here will take you seriously screwin around on the roads.

[holaback]

people endager...livestock .



LOL i know for real man fuggin bfe back east sucks so much balls

I didn't realized how shity the midwest/east bascially anywhwhere that is not california is till I moved here. nothing to do in bfe, low selection of girls, no track event, getting parts for your car sucks etc I think you guys get my point.

[louisdaboois]

i feel like a just watched another retarded streetfire video.... i guess thats a pretty good attempt at windows media (type) software?.... idk, i guess im just spoiled because ive seen better videos made by amateur editors

[!Zar!]

Haven't read ANYTHING about this thread, so who knows, I might be the only ass in here.

Your video.

Sucks.

Why?

Fist off. The start of your video is what sets the mood. I saw two dudes walking.

WALKING... Why the fuck would I want to watch a video of that.

So I was bored right off the bat.

After that.

Why the FUCK are you doing donuts around a horse?

I mean who in the world would find that entertaining?

Then you show a dude on a gsxr, "pulling away" like his bike only has 1hp.

Oh wait.

I forgot.

You had driving~!

So not only do you make me hate life watching you and your crew walking.

You show me them driving!

Damn.

And Burnouts?

Wtf is this, nopi 1997?

Honestly, I could go on and on.

I didn't even watch the whole video. I stopped watching it all the way through after I saw your walking stuff.

If you want to take videography seriously, best bet is to invest in a higher quality camcorder/computer/software, then put that aside and take photography classes.

[derek_s13]

put me out of my misery.............










fitting.

[SochBAT]

Camera quality sucks dick.

Camera angles suck dick.

Street Racing sucks dick.

Find a in-cabin mount for your camera.

Buy a fucking better camera because it sucks dick.

Set up with a nice intro/title.

As mel/zar mentioned, you gotta lead off with something better. Strong intro, and keep it strong throughout.

Its like an essay. Start with a strong thesis, and back up each and every point you want to mention to strengthen the thesis.

*Nice Guy Mode*

here's a project, lame as it sounds.

Film a 'sword fight' and add some production quality.
