Trophy Video Test

[Hixle]

Spent this evening giving the car a wash and decided to have a mess around with the video on the camera. Quickly threw together something in Premiere, nothing special - just a test more than anything. Can't work out why it's not uploaded as 1080p though :S



Excuse the shakey 'sliding' shots; my dolly was a 2x4, an old shelf and a skateboard from the '70s. That's how I roll.

Cheers,
Luke

Good effort! Slower panning/focusing would look a little better IMO.

I've tried video stuff before and it's bloody hard! lol

 

[aucky]

As above, try moving slower if possible.

Also, upload to Vimeo

Good effort though! I really want to have a crack at making some videos, don't have the equipment yet though.

 

[UrbanD]

Cool video! Cool car

 

[Feirny]

The basic is there! Just needs to be a bit slower dude! But it looks good.

 

[Hixle]

Cheers for the critique guys. Agree with all the points! Will get some more practice in at the weekend, slower panning and a better location, i.e. not my drive.

Watched it again this morning and cringed, lol! 1080p seems to working now though, but doesn't help.

good effort definitely. Those bodies are reasonably priced as well.. might give it ago when I'm not strapped

 

[Gally]

Lovely work dude. Yeah just a little slower panning and chopping in and out of cuts.

No volume for the music but I assume it was awesome

If you can, try using Adobe Premiere as you can use an image stabilizer on it - just pick two locations of the frame which you want to pan smoothly across and hey presto! Car looks good

 

[Kieran..]

looks good but as everyone has said needs to be slower

 

[Y7 ADW]

Good effort mate

100x better than what I could produce.

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

Really like those focusing shots cool vid also your stop animation vid made me lol

Great job, Luke... DIY dolly and glide is the future! The Trophy is looking mint!

 

[Hixle]

Cheers all.

Cheers mate. Go for it, I picked it up at the weekend - definate upgrade to my D40!

Ta sweetcheeks. The music was a little different for me tbh, a song by Sigur Rós.

Cheers for the tip Mark. I'm using Premiere, fortunately, so will give it a go. Not used it in about 3 years so I'm a bit rusty!

Thanks mate. Ha! I forgot those vids were on there, my old college stuff

Great job, Luke... DIY dolly and glide is the future! The Trophy is looking mint!

Cheers Andy, I'm doing my best to keep it clean! LOL the 'Dolly', it's erm...

Don't pretend you don't want one...

 

[Toms_clio]

looks good.. its like something out of top gear ! lol

 

[Gooner14]

Nice, Recognise that Trophy from Arborfield too

 

[Hixle]

I was wondering whether you were on here mate! Didn't realise you owned the Z3M, too. Makes sense now that I either see one or the the other most days. I've stopped driving that way at the moment because of the bloody traffic lights at Eversley, lol.

LOL! I'm sure you are, mate... and I'm sure it is spotless. I have to hold my hands up and admit that mine is stinking at the moment. I took a drive up to my folks over the weekend and hit two swarms of flies/bugs. Talk about a mess. I even had to pull over and clean the windscreen such was the mess! On a different note... 180 miles to visit my folks... returned 12mpg... oops. But it was a very enjoyable drive.

And I won't pretend... I do want one. That board is like totally rad dude.

Yes, generally drive one or the other, the Coupe needs some work doing on it at the moment. The Trophy is good fun though, although the Coupe will always been number 1.

I thought I hadn't seen your car for a while, so that makes sense!

 

[Jon.G]

Looks great pal.

Good to see you trying something different from the usual photos.

Lol at 12mpg! Bet the bwarpage was worth it though!

The Coupe does look stunning mate, always have a good look whenever you drive past!

Cheers Jon. Ha, expect plenty more when I get to grips with the bloody thing

I've just uploaded it to vimeo, too. Quality seems to be better - the frame rate seems to struggle with my panning though! Will definately be trying some slower panning shots with a higher shutter speed soon.

Needs to be clicked to watch in HD, for some reason.
