My latest 135i video (this one's pretty decent!)

Addict...Nah Im A Junkie! · 01-30-2010, 05:56 PM

Awesome. The one thing that was missing was I kept waiting for the song to break, then get intense. When that happens I would want some fast video cuts (hands gripping wheel, a shoft out of neutral, tire screeching, smoke shooting out, and then you peel out). Kinda like a bmw short.

Awesome work!!! Looks great.

Maybe shot on RED?

i'll see if i can convince the powers that be to dedicate some time for it.

I think the tracking shots were great. Not overlapping is just a preference. I like to overlap on pans and tracking shots. It's just an artistic choice. The camera is clearly nice. 7d? But the video is boring after the first minute. Nice car and nice video

driftdriven · 01-30-2010, 09:08 PM

Awesome video and music choice!! Very enjoyable to watch!

moveswiftly · 01-30-2010, 09:53 PM

what camera do you have?

radiantm3 · 01-30-2010, 09:59 PM

Camera is a Canon 5D.

Hind · 01-30-2010, 10:08 PM

One of these days I'll do one with the car in motion. I just need more people with the patience to help out.

I'm up in the East Bay and I'd be willing to help out. I've dabbled in cinematography and directing, so I can appreciate projects of patience to get the right shot. Could make for a fun day, just as long as my 1er got some screen time as well (in a different vid of course, since your's shames my modless 1er).

Plus, I'd love to hear the Dinan exhaust in person.

SlickShift · 01-31-2010, 04:17 PM

I really like the video...very "dark."

theanhdy · 01-31-2010, 08:07 PM

Beautiful video, can't wait to install my Performance rotors after seeing your work!

Frosty · 02-01-2010, 07:15 AM

beautiful car... amazing video.. I love hte red line on hte INSIDE of the spoke ..nice touch.. how is that acomplished? ~Frost

Trier Germany · 02-01-2010, 07:21 AM

Car looks good! i was expecting some video that included high performance driving

rori zahr · 02-01-2010, 07:38 AM

Rodi's comments are true, if taking into account they will make your next vid even better than this one which already great.
the shake is bothering a bit, it could have been smoothed in post though. Motion from apple does a great job smoothing shaky shots, even iMovie can do it!

what camera is this? looks like one of the DSLRs from Canon.

You are on a mac right? The shake you are experiencing is from the flash plugin, not the video itself. Flash video is horrible on the mac.

If you watch it here: (be sure to click "Switch to HTML 5 Player"), it will be silky smooth. At least aside from the few times the tripod moved.

rori zahr · 02-01-2010, 07:57 AM

no, I'm talking about the shaky shots you're talking about.
what about the camera? is it a DSLR?

kilo0101 · 02-01-2010, 08:00 AM

Very nice video and a very sexy car

nice video and car! thanks for sharing.

Yea it's a DSLR on a slider. A part of my (new) tripod leg cracked and so it's not as sturdy as it should be.

rori zahr · 02-01-2010, 08:15 AM

these DSLRs are giving us an almost cinematographic experience. Got the 5D Mark-II myself and it's fantastic.
FCP is very easy to use. you'll get used to it very soon.
press R on your keyboard and drag your edit to make it shorter or longer, this is one way you could adjust directly in the timeline. press A to get back your pointer to selection tool.
