Macgregor - Nothing gets closer

Cool ending shot would have been to have do a controlled power slide right up to the camera (from about 300 MPH), so close that entire frame is filled with the tire/door/fender, etc. ... and the fraction it fills the frame & stops we dolly back & crane up to reveal the car in all its glory, the track still smoldering in the far background as we hear the final VO.

And cut.

:grin:

awesome...just awesome. i'm blown away. :thumbsup:
usually i don't like grain at all... but in this case. perfect!
 
Macgregor, regarding a few different shots, I notice there is perhaps some circular banding? Easiest to identify on the final crane shot, left of screen at 24 seconds.

Is that a post issue/choice, adapter/shutter speed issue or a particular issue for one of your lenses?

Just curious, not criticism. Stunning footage! :thumbsup:
 
I'd say the execution here is about a 10 out of 10 (except for how fast the logo flashes past at the end). However I have to agree that the concept is not quite as polished. I think you're quite right that it would be a huge improvement to see a full frame of the car at the end, and have a nice second or two of pause to be able to consider the thing in all its glory before throwing the logo up at the top.

LOVE the quality of the voiceover, by the way. Fantastic voice, timing, everything.
 
Great ad, incredible visuals and a non-stop tour de force.

I really enjoyed it and it could serve as a lesson in sound design and editing.

That´s magic bullet vignetting...
 
Mac man, you sooo funny!!! Hehe, love the disclaimer at the end.

And yea, of course, what everybody else said above. Kicks ass!

Just be careful of the speed bump in front of my house in case you decide to drive on by someday! :)
 
Great cinematography. Great visuals, yadda yadda...

It'd be great if you ever actually did one that I could vote on :)

You don't need me to massage your ego anymore... Yes... I love watching your stuff. It's always a lot of fun visually.
