so, we need to make a video....

RodneyWright · **Posted:** Tue Feb 28, 2012 11:46 am

So, my bizarre thought of the day is we need to make a 3-5 min video so we can post on faceblob/youtube to promote the club. I figure some short action shots of track/rallyx/autox and then some kind of scripted description of the what the club does and have some different club members make some quick comments.

Any aspiring producers want to run w/ this?

good idea. I was recently on a cruise and was telling someone I met that they needed to get their gearhead son channelled into a good car club and it would have been nice to point to something like that.

Too bad Ash Nelson isn't around any longer. I'll bet she could make something cool.

Something like the Kia Optima Superbowl commercial would be nice. jk As long as it is not like the 1950's driver's ed videos, we should be fine.

I'm willing to offer some free autox/rallyx/track time if some one would take the reins on this. I'll be more than happy to help, I'm just video stupid in setting stuff like this up, though I'm willing to learn.

Edit: @Dustin. Do you think some of our sponsors would throw a little cash at this if we add them to the credits as sponsors?

I'm not sure you need cash. I mean if you had to pay someone to do it, you'll need more cash than you can get. If you can find the right volunteers, it really won't be that bad. iMovie on a Mac is completely capable of all the editing you could need to do. You just need some fine folks to submit some high quality and interesting pieces of track/solo/rallyx video and then someone with a little bit of talent to do the script and voice-over.

I know how to do all the pieces of it, but I wouldn't say I'm any *good* at it. I'm betting there are people more regularly involved in the club that are also a bit better at each of those pieces.

agreed, imovie would work perfect for something like this.

i think we need a spoof.. some sort of ken block spoof. make it go viral. and BAM! we're THSCC in 7 continents!

Great idea! I think a soundtrack and subtitles would be better than a voiceover, only because it's so easy to sound cheesy with a dumb script or monotone announcer.

What gets you more amped to race-- AC/DC or Rodney's soothing baritone? :wink:

Patrice as voice over, the first AX I went to he was doing the announcing and I had visions of LeMans.

Any of my videos can be used too, although most of them aren't the greatest quality (got a GoPro for this year though!). http://picasaweb.google.com/xak944 - I can provide source files if necessary.

Christian Holder has done some video editing, maybe he can help piece everything together.

Ok so sense Zach twisted my arm by sending me a text with this forum post I guess I'll put in my 2 cents.

This is something I've actually been thinking about doing this year. I was planning on talking to you Rodney come the first autocross event. I'm thinking of making 2 videos. One mid way threw the year after points 4 and one at the end of the year maybe for the Xmas party or something.

I currently have 5 video editing softwears installed right now. Iv been playing around with my GoPro pretty hardcore for the last 2 weeks or so. I'd love to find someone with a actually video camera at can record 1080P HD Video. But I could do everything on the GoPro if i had to. I have a external microphone for it already and access to at least 10 or so tripods/monopods.

I have been flip flopping on my ideas for the first video which basicly would be a mashup/spoof video of the BBC F1 intro from last year, with abit of Top Gear filmography. My only concern is I wanna get some shots no one has seen before. Like getting the camera up high so you can get a downward shot of a car going threw the sweeper and Danville. So the question is how far is to far for getting the angles people really wanna see.

But I'm up for the challenge. Makes me think I'm going to need a new computer with much more hard drive space than before once I get everyone run videos in my downloads folder. :lol:

What do you guys think and It wont be tonight till I can respond because as of now I've gotta get back to work.
