days go by

I've always got a project going on, some half crazed stupid idea of "ooo I wanna do that", currently its rigging the pin-hole camera up to the mini and getting all those cool camera car views I love. Ya know paying homage to Ronin, Gumball Rally and Cannonball Run. The rig to do it was simple, easier than I expected and it worked great. As always there are limitations. Currently at speeds up to 45mph, I get little shakey cam action, i hit 50mph and we're dancin man, crazy cam. I still think i can stabalize some of that video but we're (my brother and I) are also working on a plan b, a better rig. The goal? Just want that view, this video is filled with a camera angle I love in car movies.. I think I got my fix for it now. Heck we shot over 80mins of just driving like this footage. The camera works great in low light conditions, its almost better to shoot in clouldy weather. Still, I like the sun flares, I think thats a nice touch. Right away I'm thinking of using this video to promote the Mid-Ohio Mini owners group that just started up in town, or use it to show off the Smith Bros building for lextant, like a "heres how to get to us from the airport thing". I also plan on getting more views of the car with different rigs, maybe come up with my own racing video lol. I thought about butchering the opening of Cannonball Run and redoing it.. just for fun. Thats all it is man, fun. I love it.

Your site was sent to me by Nina. This is a pretty cool movie setup. The text blurbs made me crack up though. Awesome. Keep it up.
