Thanks guys. :)

Here are some more things from last weekend. I'm debating uploading my glider film (was filmed the same day) under the HittingRedline name, so we'll see.

Filmed a friend's dad's E-Types yesterday. Here's the vid (surrounded by snow, of course - welcome to Vermont).

Woah, the E-Type video is amazing!

[iLLusion]

O-M-G!

Superbly put together - shame we didn't get any modern driving footage as well. How did you organise the interview (or is that a trade secret)? :)

Hehe. :)

Thanks. Yeah, who'd have thought there'd be sticking snow in October? Funny story about the driving shots, though - they were from an early '90s motivational film on how to succeed as middle management in the business world. Hilariously '90s. His brother produced the video and asked him to drive his car in it, so that's how it ended up there. But like I said, hilarious.

 

To answer your question, though, I go to school with his daughter, so she tells me about his cars all the time. When I was thinking of stuff to film, I sent him an email and he was pretty excited about it. This was the first time I'd ever met him, though. :)

 

I'm hoping to do another one with the school's headmaster, and one at some point with a guy who has 30 classic British cars personally, and a shop that has more. The most important thing about the last one, though, is that as part of the business, he tests cars in the winter. So there're your driving shots. ;)

Three pics coming up soon (of the Jags, nothing new... yet).

Personally, I prefer the E-Type one, but here's my latest: a BMW E36. :)

 

 

From nothing to completely filmed and the car gone in 20 minutes. :eek: It was crazy, and I would have loved to get twice as many shots, but I used every car slider shot except one in this. He's a busy guy. ;)

Really nice one dude! Keep them coming!:)

[The Compensator]

Very nice.

[iLLusion]

First the E-Type and now we get to see this M3 E36? Lovely. :)

[Leadfoot[YT]]

Thanks, everyone! I had some more "Real Drivers" stuff coming up, but some of its been pushed back to the spring, and some I'm waiting until everything's snowy to shoot. In the meantime, a friend of mine just got this E36 and we just drove around and filmed it. There are some driving shots (GoPro stuff) in this, too, but it's just a short video of an E36 on a drab day.

 

 

Waiting for snow to liven things up. :)

Great vid! The GoPro shots look amazing!:drool:

[The Compensator]

Another great video from you! Your region looks like one big countryside :lol:

[Leadfoot[YT]]

Some recap stuff from the summer (and later) of 2011. Most of it, you've already seen, but I edited them differently.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know a couple of you have already seen them on Flickr, but there's some more (and in desktop size, too) here. :) There's a recap video, too, but it's mostly a gimmick for the "About" page. :cheeky:

Great ones :drool2:

Done with the 50mm F1.8?

[Kelvjy]

Love that 959 shot :nods:

 

Great work Leadfoot :hi5:

[cis4care]

I absolutely adore the lack of saturation in these, I thought I was the only one. Great job!

Surprisingly, no. I used the 18-55 kit lens, and the DoF was enhanced in post on most of them. I really should use the nifty 50 more, though. :)

Hehe, yeah, there's something about it. I used to do the same to all my old TDU pictures. :p

Well done as always. Probably the only thing I might've done differently was keep the rain sound constantly between shots of the car and interview.
