R/C Car Race Event Promo Video

Re: R/C Car Race Event Promo Video

Hey i used to RC, good times!

I liked it alot, except for the cheesy car FX audio at the end
 
Re: R/C Car Race Event Promo Video

Haha, cool :) I was thinking about that too! I'm just waiting to see if the RC Shop wants to keep it or not. I'm not that fond of it either . Should I just leave it silent with the music? I'm trying to find something to add to it so that it ends with more of an impact but having a bit of trouble. The sounds from the actual RC cars are just too puny sounding and high-pitched to give it that "oomph!" I'm looking for.
 
Re: R/C Car Race Event Promo Video

you could just cut to the sound of a guy saying, "Hrughh!" and then cut to southern metal and pop up the logo again...  ;)
 
Re: R/C Car Race Event Promo Video

The undercranked stuff bugged me a little bit. I liked the GROUND EFFECTS long lens stuff right near the end. I'm a sucker for the overcrank though.

;)
 
Re: R/C Car Race Event Promo Video

that was very cool. well done. i was going to ask if you sped any of that up, but i guess the answer is yes. i agree with the cheese audio crash.
 
Re: R/C Car Race Event Promo Video

I'll definitely take out the audio crash then :)
Is it just the tire screeching sound? Is the sound of the cars wizzing by okay?

Most clips were sped up by about 15-40%. OverlandFilms, can you tell me which parts weren't fast enough for you? I'll see what I can do to make everything a bit more fast-paced.

Thanks,

Norm
 
Re: R/C Car Race Event Promo Video

just watched it again...lose the whizzing too in my opinion...

one other thing that caught my eye...the first rapid fire of images to the drum beat needs a couple more quick images before going in to the next shot. all the other rapid fires worked for me though. fun piece.
 
Re: R/C Car Race Event Promo Video

Very nice work Norm, you might want to consider some slow motion on the low shots as the cars round the corners, I think you'll find it adds quite an addition.
 
Re: R/C Car Race Event Promo Video

i really like the slowmo on the guys in the beginning holding the controllers. amps you up for the action about to come. like top gun even... :o

you know...i would even keep the crash at the end in slowmo all the way thru instead of ramping it back up...then fade to black?
 
Re: R/C Car Race Event Promo Video

I'll give the low-angle some slo-mo tests too!

As for the last slo-mo shot.. I used the Program called Slowmotion by Dynapel to make it 2.5 slower (but as you probably already know, it interpolates the frames and adds additional ones in). The only problem is that I can't use much more super slow-mo on the last shot because the program causes all these weird rippling effects which look super bad. If I just use the editing program to slow it down to super slow, it will be quite choppy. :(

I just reuploaded a revised version based on some of the comments from you guys if you want to check it out. Thanks!
 
Re: R/C Car Race Event Promo Video

too cool norm! love the changes. way better without the screeching audio at the end!

so, one other suggestion if i may...a little past the halfway point there is a shot that is sped up and everytime i watch it, my eye goes to the top of the frame and i lock on the person running and jumping "gilligan's island" style. i find i'm not even watching the cars. then when i back it up to watch the cars, they're going way too fast anyway?

oh, and modify the post at the top for us quicktime users...the link is ttp:// instead of http://

this sh*t is tight yo! me likes!
 
Re: R/C Car Race Event Promo Video

Hey Atomic :)

I'm not sure which modification you are suggesting. could you clarify what part?

Thanks!

Norm
 
Re: R/C Car Race Event Promo Video

but i've had it for near 15 years now....try as i might, i just cant let myself change it. damn antomic! damn you to hell! ;D
 
Re: R/C Car Race Event Promo Video

Norm,

Yeah, I meant that I'd lose the fast (undercranked) footage. At the same time, I wouldn't over do the slow-motion (overcranked) stuff - that ground-effects stuff at the end looks nice.
