MOM cruise video

[justin]

No, not a real one.

I need someone to cruise up with me on Sun and videotape the cruise to the event. If anyone is going to MOM and NOT driving, please let me know either via PM or by posting here.

Thanks!

[mit-gee-mui]

I\'m not driving, but I am not too good with cameras/video recorders.

You should do what JMAK did.

Strap your camcorder to your back seat with the tripod and all.:hoho

[FLIPDADY]

You could borrow autoexe\'s camera mount.

[justin]

Flip,

Hmmm.... interesting idea. Autoexe, can you hook me up with your camera mount for an hour?

[3GFX]

I can\'t help, although I will be up early...its so I can get to TO on time, lol.

I just wanted to ask, how much for a copy? ;)

[mit-gee-mui]

My guess is that it\'ll be uploaded onto the forum and viewable for free.

I could be totally wrong though.:p

[Chuckie]

it\'s not the same with a camera mount, you can\'t adjust it and film different things while driving.
IF thats the best we got however, go for it.

[fourtrack78]

I\'ll be bringing my cam too. We\'ll have to work something out in the premeet

[justin]

Yes, it will be uploaded to YouTube and viewable for free. I will be adding some video effects, a soundtrack and so on to the video before the final piece is up.

If anyone has any suggestions for music that they think would be good for the video, post up. I\'m already going to be adding Riding Dirty by Chamillionaire (sp?) as the soundtrack for the cruise up to the meet.

JP,

You should join the J-Team. Ami and I have started a sub group in TM3, reserved for Hebrews only. :D

I\'m Jewish, expensive doesn\'t work for me. Only cheap, or free are words in my vocabulary. ;)

It won\'t take an hour, maybe 15 minutes. I\'m going to see if I can figure something out for Sunday. I REALLY want to put my video editing skillz to work.

:hoho

[JPAV8S4U]

Thanx Justin! As of right now... I declare my membership to the J-Tem/J-Crew/Jew Crew ;) Hey S.F.W..... where are you.... dont you be hiding! Does this mean that we get better deals than everyone else now?? or just because of us, we have to move the meets and MOM\'s off of weekends so it doesnt conflict with Shabbat? LMAO.. jokes guys! Justin.... hows that video coming??? ;) Us jew not only are we cheap.... but we are impatient :D

[S.F.W.]

I will represent, check my signature. Agreed, Justin stop with the real work, and start working on our damn video.

[mit-gee-mui]

Patience,

saith the \"guinea pig\"

*oink*

*snort*

*rolls in mud*


:p

[justin]

It\'s coming, its coming!!! I\'m trying to find a place to host it. Youtube has a 10 minute limit, and it\'s 15 minutes long.

[Broli]

how much longer . . .
lol

[justin]

It\'s done!!!!

Enjoy!!!

Edit: Feel free to add your comments here or on the youtube site.

[Pimpin_29y]

Good job to Justin and MGM productions!

[SIM SIMMA]

Good job man. It\'ll be better when you can figure out a way to mount the camera.

The best shots were i think out of the sunroof looking back at the \"parking lot\" of 3s in the right lane :)

[mit-gee-mui]

Thanks to justin for the video!

I REALLY liked it!

Your efforts are truly appreciated!

This video will go down in the books as a memorable moment!

And it will be SUPER hard to duplicate!


Thanks again to justin!


:D :D :D

[Broli]

hahaha

nice!

too bad O-Team was in the back!!

[SIM SIMMA]

where they belong!

hey i say next meet we just cruise by colour... not split up into sedans and hatches... i think it will look even better!

imho

i agree!

they told us to split for some reason!??

[SIM SIMMA]

Oh well.. next time we roll the way we want to.

next MOM will be here in no time.

[S.F.W.]

niuce work Justin. Go J Team!!!
Btw, can you e-mail me the video ?

[justin]

Anyone who wants a copy of the video via email, please PM me your email addy and I\'ll see what I can do. It\'s 36 mb, so it\'s a hefty download.

I\'m glad you guys liked it! It was fun to make, and even more fun to edit... Next year, I\'m going to get an in car camera mount and attach it to my roof somehow.

[Cardinal Fang]

Not bad Justin but I do think too much attention in the shots was being paid to the sedans and the in particular the white ones. I had no choice but to flag the video to YOUTUEB as “inappropriate.\"

Maybe next time you\'ll learn to give better props to the hatch.


;)

[MazdaTree]

Good Job Justin, Looks great!

[3GFX]

:( I can\'t see it, work firewall dammit...i reeeeeeeeally wanna see it

[cyberscorpi0]

Video = Great
Music = Awesome

Good Job Bro!

[fourtrack78]

nice job Justin......I\'ll be working on mine this weekend (when i have time) and hopefully be up by next week

[wtom]

Very nice justin! The cruise is what it\'s all about this year, for TM3. :D

Love the shameless plug at the very end hahaha

[cyberscorpi0]

I think we should have\"Meeting of the Mazda 3\"
instead! :D

[JPAV8S4U]

Mazel Tov Justin ..... Mazel Tov ;)

[FLIPDADY]

Requested to move to pics/vid section.;)

[FLIPDADY]

Was your camera woman dancing? I got a headache watching that!

J/K Nice vid and thanks for the props.

M-GEE-M production.;)

[MAZDA Kitten]

It was ok. I appreciate the effort but the camera work was so-so and there was some shots that dragged out tooooo long

The second song; is that \"K-FED\" aka Kevin Federline?

[iconicrocket]

Good effort.

Holy ****, I got sea sick watching it. You need a mount or a really really heavy camcorder to keep it steady. Did that camcorder have image stabilization on?

The second song is the tokyo drift theme song.

edit: regarding the shaky shots, i don\'t know guys, that might be too harsh, humans aren\'t tripods. For a novice trying to get shots from a moving vehicle, I think it\'s not bad.

Well SORRY. This was my FIRST TIME EVER doing something like that. This is NOTHING like shooting a drop of water falling off Xenon\'s hood.

Sorry if I\'m ranting, but you\'re always picking on me, and right now, I\'m going to lash out a bit.

Several times, I could have picked on words you said or things you did, but I\'ve kept quiet.

IF you were to ever try something like this, let\'s see if you could do any better.


Edit: Yes, I\'m taking this personally, cause I helped out. Perhaps some constructive criticism? i.e. This was (blank)... This could be improved by (blank).

Again, I\'m not a professional by any means, and I certainly don\'t profess to be. This is my first REAL attempt at anything remotely close to amateur.

However, I will say this. I\'m VERY proud of this movie, and I have to say that I\'m impressed with m-g-m, who did a great job with the very little preparation I had done to record the cruise. Further to that, I broke a number of laws by speeding, driving like a maniac, and stopping in traffic to record the cruise, something that would have earned me a number of tickets if I would have been stopped by the police. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Would I do it again? If the situation warrants it. Believe me, I already have plans for the MOM 2007 Cruise video to improve the quality of the video.

Yeah it was a bit shaky, but c\'est la vie. I wasn\'t ready to invest $200USD in a car camera mount for 15 minutes of use. Yeah some of the shots were long, but again, that\'s the way the video is. If you would have seen how much time I spent working on it to make it youtube ready, you\'d be shocked. The original video was a disaster and it was WAY more shaky in places, and those frames were cut from the movie as I wasn\'t happy with them.

No.. the second song is by the Teriyaki Boyz... the song is from the Fast and Furious 3.

[mit-gee-mui]

Awww! Thanks! Yeah, I\'m VERY proud of it too, and that\'s why I got so offended.

It was a great experience, and I\'d do it again next year if I could.

I started to read the first line...

Then i thought to my self I dont really care LOL so?


You will get over it.

:)

[justin]

I think that this is quite enough, and it has gone on long enough. m-g-m did the best job that was possible given the circumstances, as did I.

I held back before... but I\'m tired and unhappy so here goes:

If you like it, great. If you don\'t, that\'s fine too.

That\'s a general statement, MK, and not directed at you personally.

Can\'t we all just get along?!?!?! :D

[MAZDA Kitten]

We are getting along; no need to take things personally.

If I got a restaurant and I dont like the food. Will the chef get offended?
Okay good first try... maybe it could have been better editing? See? Its not all your fault MGM!!!

[Zaku_4]

rofl

nice video, gota love teriayki boyzzzzzgzzzzzgtzgzgz

[mazidane]

Good work guys! Nice effort! BTW Justin, if you don\'t mind my inqusitiveness, whats the green thing on your dash? :)

As for criticism, to borrow a Lexus slogan there should always be \"the relentless pursuit of perfection\", you have to start somewhere and you can only improve from here! In anycase nice work!:D

[bubba1983]

GO KITTY POWER!
hahah
Meow!

[CoolColombian]

Really nice video, love to see that amount of 3s in the same lane, Justin and MGM; well done.

PS: repainting the calipers 2 days before MOM paid off. :D

That\'s an air freshener I bought at P-Mall. Thanks for you nice comments, glad you liked the vid.

[3GFX]

I\'m still waiting for Justin to send me a copy :(

[wtom]

There\'s a white sedan in my building parking garage that *use* to have a green siren on its dash. It\'s no longer on the dash now.

[torpedo20]

Thanks guys.
You did a nice job with that video.
Let\'s do the next MOM in style - no more hatch-sedan separation just the (flying) colours , mmmkay? :sarc

[SIM SIMMA]

Agreed tenfold!

hell

we may not even invite those shades,
this is a coloured only event (black and grey and silver welcome)
lol

[eguiyab]

I like it alot actually.
Since I wasn\'t there it shows me a perspective of what i missed.
I got to work that morning and thought... Damn.. I could be at MOM...

Hopefully next year.

[Chuckie]

the cruise was good. slow but good.
having to stay outside in the cold wasn\'t that great.

[dsichewski]
