Talking **Video from SoCal Luau Meet**

Okay guys, here it is!

My friend had access to a camera/editing equipment and he offered to do this for me so of course I said yes!

*He is not a professional cameraman and this is his first attempt so any compliments or constructive criticism is welcome.



The 3.48 "radio edit":

The 6.58 "smack one on me extended remix":

nice videos. two things i noticed

1) when the idea is to show off the cars, it's better to slow down the camera so people can get a better views of the cars. moving the camera too fast or zoom in/out too fast will make it a bit loss

2) let's say all cars are backed in and their front are pointing to the left (you are facing the cars), then if you want to roll through the cars, it's better to roll from the right to left, rather than from left to right. that way you can see the wheels and more body of the car before it gets to the next one. going the other direction and you only catch the front of the car

did i say nice work?

Yeah I noticed that too so he actually "slowed down" some of the shots and used "freeze frame" so your eyes could adjust and see things better.

He also slowed down the sweeping and wrap around shots to reduce some of that "shakiness". Plus some of the shots are in reverse to better view the wheels but we were only able to do that in shots without any people in them because then they would walk backwards and that looked mighty funny. lol


**The longer remix version has longer clips and more cars in it so if you don't see your car in the short version then you're probably in the longer one.
