thanks for all my leet forum skills i fail at embedding utube vids..

as for why so many people are there, road is called the snake and that is an infamous off camber corner where lots of powersliding/accidents occur hence the audience. Going to include it on my list of must see's/drives when i finally hit the states. Apparently Jay Leno's drive way is just off the PCH and he is up and down it daily in one of his many Bugatti's etc

this thread has too much potential to die. We still need a mod to rename it to "the official automotive video thread" or something along those lines. Anywho, back to the videos

I usually don't wander in here but this thread is pretty relevant to my interests.

Pat, you asked what gear and rigs are needed. First is a decent DSLR for shooting the video with decent lens. Most of that could have been done with a kit lens but shallow depth of field requires a lens that can really open up. A cheap 50mm "pancake" will work fine there.

I saw a bit of dolly & boom work done in that first video. These can be quite expensive but I'm working on some DIY versions.

Another effect is using a slider. I did a little DIY version in this video but I'm refining it to make it smoother as the jerkyness is too visible.

The rest is up to your creativity and lots, and I mean LOTS of editing room time. There are a lot of subtle things that you do in post production to really bring up the viewing pleasure on a video.

This was just a proof of concept video I put together to test several different effects including time lapse, on car rig, slider, shallow depth of field and generally managing the settings on my panasonic GH2.

I'm glad to see that people are really interested in video beyond just the action shots. I'm always trying to figure out how to capture not only the action, but the love we have for our cars and what we do with them. Capturing the passion and deep connection we have with our cars is actually really hard. The general public wouldn't understand our obsession.

    • 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.
