Off Road RC Car Championships

[04OFF]

As most of you may already know, i normally take still photographs, i teamed up with a mate and had a go at making a Video to help premote a RC car club, this is a short edited 6min preview of the footage (with obvious transitions), the full version should be available soon on a DVD.

Filming was the easy part, but the editing has taken weeks :eek:, its our first go so feedback (good or bad) would be good, let me know what you think !

Hey mate, loved the camera work, especially the in car one that was the best!

Your narrating and interviewing was good too, no complaints!!!

I do have a negative feedback though if you want honest feedback (you asked for the truth so...lol)....I didn't like the techno/dance music. Too fast and didnt match what the video was about IMO, I'm sure there is other dance techno to choose from but that was a little too "Electric"....I'm not sure what other music to choose though...lol...Something maybe with more deeper beats (more bass) or try rock n roll styles, etc.

In car camera great, just make sure guy in short keeps agates tucked in, like the tech talk too . two thumbs up

[Sir Roofy]

yeah liked the cars and camera work
didnt think the music was for that sort of
excercise,something a bit more up beat i feel

[taslucas]

Great bit of footage. I liked it, and also wonder how you managed to get Russell quoit to host it! Lol

Tap, crackle, pop

Well done Steve. RC cars are a ball. Both me and my boy have a couple of 1/10 scale electric 4WD buggies.

Good stuff mate music could do with a change maybe some hot potatoe lol

[nickpeacock36]

Good stuff Steve. I actually have a petrol rc car in the garage but never use it any more. Spent more time trying to start it than actually driving it. Another item for ebay me thinks:)

Thanks everyone, good point raised about about the music, and id much rather a honest opinion than a sugar coated one, could i ask what speaker set up you guys listened to it on (ie laptop/hifi/surround sound etc)

I did all my editing in my home theatre room, it is a dedicated room and has pretty good sound equipment, listening to it in my room, the track/s have heaps of punchy Bass and this sometimes even dominates the electronic sound.

On my laptop, it does sound quite tinny, i thought perhaps U-tube conversion may be the issue, so i just played it from the net into my home theatre system, it has lost some noticeable quality (and punch), but still retains a lot of the bottom end sound.

A fair bit of the bass is sub frequency , the master track audio was set for 5.1 DVD sound in the editing sorfware, so you may need a sub to get the most out of it (turned my sub off ,and is still ok but loses a bit of depth as expected)

It is a electronic style, that may not be to everyones taste regardless, could someone confirm they have listened though decent system, perhaps one with a Subwoofer, and let me know please.

Thanks

Haha !, well you can watch movies in that little room, but i dont reccomend it, you may hear unwanted low end frequencies, and i bet it will sound like s#!t :hpfredgeorge1:







I dont know how i could have done the editing without my HT room, sitting at a desk would have killed me i think, and being a soundproofed room, let me work at any hour and not disturb anyone.

This is what one should look like (no toilet paper in sight)
