Easy. Make it quality, something you could sell to get people to watch the sport like a motocross DVD. Get Jeremy Clarkson or someone funny to host. You'll need a VHS camera with a good mic. I don't want to hear your "beifs" or random people talking about something I either don't understand or can't hear like the video is for you and your buddies. Point out who'se who, make it professional (no shaky hands), use color screens, do reports like it was 20/20, do interviews of random people about their thoughts on the market, do car walk arounds because I want to see the setups. Get peoples' opinions of what bass is, what SQ is, what they think is loud etc. Get a lot of footage of big setups playing bassy songs that don't suck. Lots of hair tricks. Do a whole section on what the noods did wrong lol. See who made the best score for the least amount of money. See who can get pingpong ***** higher on their roof. Do a Q & A for the crowed to test their audion00bness with small prizes like "extra bits of wire" LOL. Talk about what it takes to hit the highest score. Do a segment on alarms. For an intro, start the video from the front seat of a vehicle with a large system, on their way to the show, just silence and then everything starts jumping (good song), be the first person in the parking lot, get out of the vehicle for a front shot, set the camera on a stand and record until everybody shows up, then edit with a time-zip and watch all the other cars and the stuff be setup in like 10 seconds (playing chopped n' screwed during the zip), then when it goes back to normal speed, take the camera and walk around the closest car and ask questions. Edit the footage so that at one point (the end) it's only showing the equipment and then 10 seconds of score, starting at the lowest class - it should be like:

Cavalier
2 10's/box
10k/?

5-10 seconds of burp

Sunfire
15/box
8k/?

5-10 seconds of burp.

You have to plan it all out like a movie. If you want it to be taken seriously the editing and planning will show it. If 20/20 can make a crap "boom car" episode, we can have our say on it all, done it a professional way. EXO did a great job with that vid. Remember the opening song on Jackass? That'd be a cool intro song, doing a time-zip (dunno what to call it) through all the cars/trunks... just because we're serious with it.

 

What the **** do you think this is, CNN?

 

i dunno, i found that video a tad boring, no personal touch at all. I could make one just like it but it would have no soul.....

and thank you for the kind words.

 

you know what the problem is, no one really wants to talk on camera. if you watched most of SPLTV last season you can tell it's mostly the same few guys in the shot doing commentary. that's cuz the rest of people are camera shy. no one wants to be on camera, i asked them questions or try to provoke a response in other ways and as soon as the camera on them they just shut down.

i did get like the random "big set up" aka Matt's truck in the few videos, even hair tricks too with my own hair to boot.

when i get my own studio and PHD in video editing i will implement all those video and audio effects you mentioned, those are some good ideas.

 

I think you did an awesome job last season I would head home from the shows and wait on here til you posted vids from the day, Its nice to be able to re-live the day and show my friends and family what happened at the show and the kinda crap talk we do just for giggles!

I would like to see a car burping in the lanes with comentary like name class, then followed up by an inside peak of the set-up that car. If the competitor doesnt feel like talking to the camera oh well. I think that would just cut the confusion for viewers that werent there to know what was going on.

Its nice to have someone at all the shows making and posting vids, so i cant complain even if its goes the same this season!

 

thank you Bart.

 

il try to have my camera out more this season, il get people taking to the camera...or i wont leave them alone!!

 

CNN probably wouldn't mind doing a segment on db drag, it's the speedway of car audio.

I want to hear all the vehicles in a big circle playing a good song on the same radio station at full tilt, and I get to sit in the middle. That's a lotta bass, can you imagine 60 cars with either 2 10's, 2 12's, 2 15's, all playing the same thing, that's roughly 14700 square inches of cone area!

 

^^^ That was actually done and filmed (out of Europe I think) which was pretty crazy ... I'll try to find that video again

 

Better yet Jalat, the comedy network will be ringing down ya phone.
