Top Gear Parody (Apply within to take part)

OK, yes be patient, we've got you on the list for the GT position :P along with 5 others

you will know in the next day or so if you've got the part... i have most of your details (rig spec etc) so the only thing to do know is await results :)

Just HP m7690n on HP.com just to be extra sure.

I'd offer myself up as a camera, but then, I don't have a wheel to make things go smoother as it would more or less be stop and start. Also, I'd recommend whoever ends up being the camera chooses a car with a low engine noise so as to not drown out the engine noises of the focus cars.

As for a carpark, I thought I saw one along a road somewhere, but I can't remember where. It wasn't anywhere near the stadium either.

Sure thing. I guess I might as well put in my stats just in case.

Time Zone: GMT -5 (Currently -4 due to Daylight Savings Time)

Time Play Length: (how long you play for at a time in hours.) Anytime between an hour and up to at least 5 hours

When You Play: Morning/ Afternoon/ Evening My Evening as anything else, there is too much glare due to the sun to be able to see anything.

Filming Capability?: (Do you have FRAPs basically?) Nope, but I have a feeling I'll need to if I'm managing a camera.

Xfire? Errm, I used to. I'd have to get a new account or find my username and password and let you know.

Email: I'd actually prefer not to put it on the board as spam bots collect addresses, so if you need to know, PM me.I'm not sure when you're doing this, as I'll be away all of next week just so you don't expect me during that time.

-Dell- · August 3, 2007

i think we would have to film (while you're in evening and we're in morning) ie.e like 7pm onwards (GMT +10) if we choose you... :)

Not a problem, on weekend evenings if my dad doesn't need to use his laptop, I could be on till about 11PM or midnight GMT +10. I also PM'd you about my settings :)

ScaR · August 3, 2007

I would help, but I have a fairly full workload & run @ a higher resolution than most

-Dell- · August 3, 2007

YouTube and Windows Moviemaker usually compress move files into 640x480 though :p

We will be suing the audio from the Top Gear clips... and we will be using recorded footage from within TDU. Well the fact that when we only have 2 cars in view... the other car (which isn't in view, can do the filming...) this just means that the "cameraman/women" doesn't have to be 'working' all the time etc... they can enjoy the pleasures of TDU :P

We have have decided we will only need 1 camera person for this reason! And myself and Speed_Freak can do a lot of filming if we need by mearly switching between cars :)

+ There won't really be a "route" we will be finding specific areas and roads which match the ones to the original Top Gear footage

Woodo · August 3, 2007

well all i can say is good luck ur gonna need it

I mentioned this before, but I couldn't take part for my poor PC performance. So if you need anyone else, here is the thread I made and the people who discussed it.

Thanks Max, Sorry to hear you can't take part.

On the plus though, guess what I just found...

-Dell- · August 4, 2007

I was just about to suggest that, I had it on my bookmarks since the last thread started :p

I could probably find a way to jump down and then take shots of the bridge from underneath? Or something?

Iced_Bullet · August 6, 2007

Cheers for rep - whom ever gave it to me :)

ScaR · August 7, 2007

Hope this goes well for you guys! (Don't forget the option to turn off names on screen in Online settings)

Speed · August 7, 2007

Thanks and congratulations on 100 posts :)

We will be announcing who we have chosen for each place when we are ready to start filming. Obviously Iced_Bullet hasn't started his profile yet as he is waiting on a new graphics card, so be patient for now, we should be ready very soon, just not yet. ;)

The Queen · August 7, 2007

Good luck on that guys. As well as stinger i will be around if you need any help or advice or such! I can't wait to see the end movie ;)

Just a small update:

Now that Iced_Bullets' graphics card has arrived it shouldn't be too long before we choose who we would like to participate, so I'm sorry for keeping you waiting so long, but the wait is nearly over :)
