are you saying you didnt like it?!

you my friend, are DEAD to me.

Lol, I didn't mind it but I did find it a bit boring. It's a really nicely made clip so I'm not faulting the production values. But, I thought I was going to see some racing or discussion about the Euro import scene.

I'll watch the other videos when I get home from work and can access YouTube.

LOL oookaaay so there was a lot of build up and not much of a pay off other than some drifting clips and some nice car porn, i still thought the production values were almost at the level of arthouse cinema and even better than some mainstream movies (as mentioned) now if only these guys could get a script together and make something that truly reflected the car scene in all its glory and without all the hubris, silly physics and corny lines of the FnF movies. I have watched a lot of knock offs of those movies too nothing comes close to the Furious series yet except this 5 minute clip. Again its begging for a story and some dialogue.

keep us posted on versie 2 but for now that would be an awesome template to base a promo video for SAU nats on, what kind of insane camera gear/lenses/lighting rigs would we need to capture quality like that though?

eric?

Some of the footage appears in other videos, so it's probably accumulated (even though it has a date, it wasn't done in a day). So overall just that short 4mins 30sec or so of video would have taken the span of a few weeks to film. Lots of locations, different times of day etc that you can pick-up watching it. Take a good solid week of editing, maybe more to put it together as well.

Ok for a hobbyist type, not so good for a budget :D

Would love to do something similar with SAU Nats it would blow costs out by 3x to have a paid production crew to get that level/amount of varying footage into 3 days as well as there would need to be 4-5 camera men with quite a varying array of rigs etc. :)

Great videos in this thread though. Good fun to watch.

well we could do something similar, wouldnt be as epic i guess but along those lines with a few members and their cameras running around. We have till september right?

I was surpised how good it looked just having someone standing next to/getting out of their ride with the right expression (of earnest yet deadly seriousness) and the right backing music. Would be interesting to do the same with a bunch of our more prominent members..

oh and im confused why so many of my utube links just dont seem to hotlink, i put them in the 'insert media' thing, i dont put the url in it..same result :(

What was the point of the first vid? I thought I was about to watch a documentary or something. What I got was a 5 minute mish mash of various cars and "the fast and the furious"-style meets.

So I wasn't the only one who was sitting there going "WTF is this shit? I want my 5 minutes back!"

There's even a shot where a guy is filling a car and he looks like Paul Walker!

SRSly, wtf was that shit? What was so "great" about it?

It took four and a bit minutes to see a shot of a car being driven (Other then to park it) and it was a car spinning in the dirt!

I think you totally missed the fact it would cost 3x the current DVD cost.

Which makes it impossible.

yeah but your talking about getting equivalent rigs and hiring professionals etc

im talking about just getting a few guys who are keen to volunteer their time to take a couple of quick vids at meet ups, track days and the like. How hard would it be to have a few blokes line up beside there cars and stare off into the middle distance?

It wouldnt be promo 'we win the internetz' quality but i think it would look pretty good for an amateur club production and even if it didnt it certainly would be fun/educational making it.

just my 2cents.

Will be car less for a few months so happy to be ferried around and be on camera duties, volunteer at track days etc.

Anyone remotely interested in cars HAS to go see Eric Bana's Love the Beast ASAP. I watched it for the second time today (after i saw it yesterday).

Jeremy Clarkson, Jay Leno and dare i say even Dr. Phil had a spectacular input on the movie.

      S15 Spec R

      Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
