"we Write The Streets" Video

[R33 Eddy]

+1...

from a production point of view its epic, but a bit boring...

+1 great production and quality but..

i was bored as well.. it was just like a slide show of pictures but the angle moved.. was waiting for epic street racing or something out of fast and furious..

[ras1983]

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.

this is an old one but i still think it's one very heartfelt way for Toyota/Lexus to have paid tribute to their very own version of Valentino Balboni.

Photography and visuals already trumps that of any F&F movie.

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

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.

[hamiltonau]

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.

[hamiltonau]

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.

the S14 zenki one is a little meh though, first half of the one above it could have been chopped though. God damn i want a Pagani..

[alex182]

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.
