Town of 10,000 holds its own Racing Cup.

[spitalul2bad]

Yesterday, I drove 30 miles to a town nearby that decided they'd "start" the racing season by holding a "bring whatever you got on our tiny track" racing cup. I thought it'd be a joke (and it was... somewhat), so I didn't bring my Z. I did bring my camera though... so, if anyone wants to check it out...

In any case, it's fun to see such worn-out, gutted and over-killed cars. The only notable appearance was by a guy in a Ken-Block-like Impreza. For me, it was mostly a filming-day experience.

P.S. I do track my Z though, but I do it on a Formula 1 circuit! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjSHEbFYSao <-- video of that.

P.P.S. Experts will notice the Renault Clio Cup edition, the VR6 Golf 3 and others...

That is pretty cool...My question is did you really film the first youtube video? If so, really good job on that. Camera specs, editing software etc?

[krash]

yea dude, the first video was awesome!

The guy in the yellow Audi at the end was very trusting that the other guys cold control their cars enough not to hit him.

To that driver it seems all-trak means anywhere BUT the track

Nice vids OP

[Dire91]

That would be a lot of fun for a beginner like me. That one driver could not stay on the damn track though.

I like how all the nice cars are from the same company lol. + LOL at that toyota, I guess he thought it was rally event.

[Silvia-Tom]

at the Toyota.

But same question here. What kind of camera and editing software did you use?I'm also pretty sure you used a Steadicam, right?

Great filming.

@RCA

Yes, I filmed and edited it all myself. I've been doing it for a while, self taught though and non-profit amateur stuff (not a paid professional here)

Here's my take on a local drift even if you want to see more filming + editing:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8OuU0dHNNQ

@Silvia-Tom

I used a Casio Exilim EX-F1 for its quality over framerate. Editing software is Adobe Premiere Pro (latest version, CS4). Intro graphics made in Adobe Photoshop. For this video I didn't use any special effects, but I sometimes do, and that's in Adobe After Effects. Sound work usually done in Sound Forge (the old version, I like it better, and only if going for 5.1 or a tough mix, if not, Premiere can hold its own). I export and save (back-up, archive) in the Indeo 5 codec and publish in H.264.

Sound is usually captured with a SENNHEISER boom microphone (although not for this video).

I use a normal tripod and, for this video, not a steadycam but a crane. It's ballanced and easily controlled. I have done the "run-and-gun" though many times (like here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8OuU0dHNNQ ). That's all done hand-held. Had to make it work through editing since the raw footage wasn't that great.

Wow, amazing. I love the video and I especially love Ghosts n Stuff.

Awesome music tracks from beginning to end. 5 YouTube Stars for you.

All small towns should hold races through them.

That looks so fun, I'd go buy a Fiat Punto and jump in line.

Here's one video of my friend killing his E30 BMW (although he does have some good car-control): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qAZz3-rx60

And my friend's E46 BMW so-called "presentation": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WDBNOaETEM

Love the timing between the wheels and the beat drop! Also great track, can't go wrong with Benassi.

The second video was OK. The intro was real good.I did notice the random fire effect in the middle of the video.
