Thanks guys! I really appreciate it!

As far as editing software I used on this video, I used Final Cut Pro 6 and Color.

TyreeZtt · 07-19-2008, 01:42 PM

Great shots and awesome editing. Hope to see more soon!

mangoes · 07-19-2008, 01:57 PM

holy shit. very nice video. forrest is nutso! that line is crazy.

1ZlowZ · 07-19-2008, 01:57 PM

The beginning made me feel like I was watching part of a zombie movie. Awesome. Like if earth didn't have anymore humans and there was only a couple drifters left. Sweet video dude +1

ericcastro · 07-19-2008, 02:42 PM

DVX100B,

cool. i used to own the DVX100 a few years back. the one that you had to manual focus in 24P mode. good camera thoough, i loved it. Sold it to buy my NIKON D200.

Yeah, CHOMPZ and SQUIDD shoot most of the video stuff for the 626DRIFT guys. But i am sure they would love some more angles and footage from a quality camera if you ever come out.

Crane?? , lol. Now we are talking money!! Even with the favors I could pull. It would still be over a grand to have a 15' jib arm out there with full remote head. Plus we would need a put-put generator to power the monitors and the arm. AND, gas money to have one of the guys I know bring there gear up there.
Same for bringing a steady cam operator out. i even can get us a hostess tray. (the table that mounts to the side of the window, like they use in movies). Or probably a hood mount even.

Maybe if a large enough event happens one day

Here is a link to the VRT TV page.

click on videos, i like #3, cause Im in it alot. the blue car. lol

S14Josh · 07-19-2008, 02:53 PM

You can pick up a kessler crane for about 500 bucks or so, its only an 8 foot jib arm though, but it would still add for some awesome shots. And maybe not a TRUE steadicam, but a glidecam would do wonders.

But yeah dude, maybe i'll come out to the next 626 event and we can get some huge collabo thing going. I'm always up for more projects!

ericcastro · 07-19-2008, 03:07 PM

how bout you mount the crane in the back of the truck for really smooth and dynamic shots?

Of course, cranes on trucks can break. thats one of the many reasons i walked from that movie "RedLine". they wanted me to mount the 15' crane on the back of the flat bed while chaseing the cars around the track. I was like, are you guys fucking retarded?? The only thing that holds lateral pressure is a 3/4 " bolt. One quik brake or turn and that thing is snapping, taking the crane off the back of the truck, and anyone with it!!! lol

The cheap Jimmy Jib things are not to bad to rent from wooden nickel. Dont think they got a remote head though.

foreverdark · 07-19-2008, 03:19 PM

Great video.

longdy · 07-19-2008, 03:30 PM

DANG that was a nice ass vid!!

Those dudes sound insane! haha.

"It's all good man, the crane is totally secure. I tied it down with a couple ropes and a suction cup!"

Silverstreek · 07-19-2008, 03:35 PM

yeti303 · 07-19-2008, 08:48 PM

driftphenom · 07-19-2008, 09:11 PM

Z33dori · 07-19-2008, 09:15 PM

the epic beginning was too long.... but the video was very kick ass...

i loved it

SoSideways · 07-20-2008, 10:03 AM

Uh... video removed?!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

S14Josh · 07-20-2008, 11:57 AM

Woaaaah, I have no clue what happened.

I'll get on it right now.

*Edit*

Apparently Vimeo's hosting server just went down. Pretty much all of the videos on the site aren't working right now. Should be back up shortly.

irritatedmax · 07-21-2008, 07:05 AM

just watched it. pure awesome on your part josh.

forrest's car used to be my favorite s14 and is now my favorite s14.5. that car is a sexy time explosion.

and to you guys talking about cranes, i am not sure if it is the same idea but if you are just trying to have a stationary shooting tower couldn't you set up some scaffolding. it might be a little more work to setup (its not too bad if you know what you are doing) but probably easier to borrow and cheaper than renting a crane. just an idea.

I'm pretty sure when they're talking about a crane, they're talking about an extending arm that you mount the camera on the end of, and the real expensive ones have this remote control pivoting contraption that lets the person using the crane turn the camera around 360 degrees, and up and down, with a joystick.

That way, they can be off of the track, but get real close and personal to cars without being in harms way.

If you've seen the D1GP's footages, you'll see some of the shots captured by the cranes. Those shots seem like they're right on top of the car, or at least very close to the cars.

Team Aero-K · 07-21-2008, 08:51 AM

thats what we have been discussing. cause a tripod isnt gonna help. It would actullly be better to be holding it handheld so your arms can work as "shocks" for your camera.

A crane or steady cam would absorb the bounceing of the car that you are riding in. And a hostess tray or hood mount would pix the camera onto the drift car, so it wouldnt shake.

I think you actually did a great job with keeping it steady, espeacially zoomed in. It aint easy. i think that not everyone is ready for that kind of dynamic filming in motorsports. Skateboardings been doing the rolling long lens for ever now. Its basically an adeptation of the zoom in they did in JAWS. And NASCAR is now using the tracking camera's they started using a few olympics ago for track n field and ice skateing. Everyone is using the color saturation and vinettes that BBC and WRC has been using for YEARS.

So the motor sports community is getting used to non traditional coverage, It just takes some time to get everyone on board.:ghey:

fbiphil · 07-21-2008, 12:01 PM

We need to get Michael Bay to film a drift event!!! Break out the "Bay Buster"!

Awesome video- can't wait to see more!

Peas · 07-21-2008, 10:20 PM

Could have a sworn a battle was going to ensue with that epic beginning.

You done gangstered it, gangster!

100!

Cake Is Dope · 07-22-2008, 07:03 PM

ZX88 · 07-23-2008, 08:35 AM
