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

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.

    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
    • Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
