of course, there is no such thing as a new idea this day...

So this "it" is another cheesy RPR promo vid. try and follow my scatter-brain process

-fade in from black on asphalt, pointed down at about a 30 degree angle (camera stays there the entire time)
-open header, idling 1 or 3g like c8v6c's slowly comes into picture (pictured frame shows only the wheel, fender well, and a little bit of fender)
-slow/steady brings revvs up as the camera slows down, video reaches desired fps speed
-tire begins to spin/smoke, hopefully the camera can pick up on the sidewall wrinkle
-tire smoke takes over pictured area well enough to where the wheel/tire/car is barely visible as the car disengages the rear brakes and takes off forward while fading to back
-completely black as the picture reaches the rear bumper and immediately fade in the plain/humble red redpepperracing.com text is displayed middle center
-audio ends and picture blank/black
-end

If possible I'd like to put an excerpt from September - "cry for you" but possibly modified to slow down with the video highlighting the part of the chorus that says "you'll never see me again" without it coming off kinda girly or ricer-techno-esq

ok so that was lame, but you didn't click on this thread for nothing

this video makes me feel naughty ph34r.gif

Obviously, Mustangs contribute to global warming... LOL First thought after watching that video.
How about we just agree to respect each other's opinion?Even though yours is so obviously wrong...

he obviously is a huge pumpkin fan.. what do you expect? I will maintain that it was well made though- all for the sake of cinematography

I'd have to say that it was quite well made... a nice tripod on some wheels would have been a better way to get a view though... and about your vid idea Zakats. That does sound very very cool. We need a vid! That would just own biggrin.gif

I wanna see someone mount the cam facing the wheel, attached to the wheel, from like 2 feet away, wide angle. So that you can see the large part of the car while it's not doing anything, but as soon as the tire starts spinning, the cam goes nuts, since it's spinning w/ the tire. That will most definitely make some people sick!!! tongue.gif
