McRae cruise video tips
 

[COLOR="Red"]Updated for Heros cruise 2013.[/COLOR]

Firstly thanks to Dave for organising the coming Heros cruise.

As usual I will be looking to record footage and cobble a video
together with the help of the usual suspects ;). To help there
are a few tips you can take on board on the day.


1 - As always, I am happy to take donations of HD footage if you
have a camera on the go during the event. I can post the memory
cards back to you during the week. Feel free to do some imaginative
shooting.

2 - Don't do anything stupid... especially in front of one of the cameras.
If you do something dumb, Dave and Police will be more than welcome to
have a copy of the footage.

3 - If your car is in frame while driving, don't accelerate off.
Cars that simply speed through the frame are edited out. It looks
like crap if your car is a blur. See below for a perfect shot of Daves
car where he kept a descent speed and allow me to position my car
for a great shot.


I know the last point appears obvious, but it is amazing how much footage that
has had to be dropped due to people accelerating hard when they're in shot.
If you like your car so much, clean it ready for the cruise and show it off
as much as you can.

See you all on the day.
:D

hey fobz, are you going to be at the McRae cruise in your car that apparently has a varex muffler? I'm keen to check it out :)

Fobz loves people checking out his muff :p

Should I be looking out for any hidden cameras recording the said act in case of blackmail? :)

Yeppo. Varex will be present. I think Alex will have his by then. Sam
also has one on the custard mobile.

Don't know Sam or Alex, I think you'll be easier to spot haha

cheers

Restekpa!

This should be re-afirmed at the start of the cruise. I did a photo shoto down here a few years ago as appart of a Brock memorial poker run. I was at the bottom of Rowlands, set up to take some panning shots. When the cars saw me, they slowed from 110km/hr to 70km/hr or so which ruined the shot. (It was a wet day, and I wanted the spray to be flying, showing movement not static cars)

Point number One, don't do something stupid/dodgy

Point Number Two, the photographer is expecting you to act in a normal way, unless specified earlier. They have the shot pre-planned in their mind, eg passing shot, the photographer passing you then steady, them falling back giving the impression of you slowing traveling at the same pace then taking off, when really youre sitting at the same speed.

Look at the photographer and take your ques from that, and enjoy the run.

So does this mean you WONT be recording Joe doing helis? We've been waiting for them for years. :)

^ recorded, just won't make it into the official film ;)

keep waiting

Please also consider the fact that a copy of the final version will be going to Alister McRae and family as well :)

Maybe a silly and a short notice idea,
what if we organise a scenic flight with a chopper over Perth, a 5 minute flight costs about $75, someone with good camera skills gets in the chopper and shoot some footage while hovering over the meeting point.
Giving a bit of a diffrent dimension on the film.
I can chip in half the amount if I get a copy of the endresult.
Think about it, as far as I know nobody has done this before ( I think)

Bump...

Want your car in the video ? ... then make it easier to record you !

:)

I will definately be trying to give you a good opportunity to record my car Fobzter!

cant see the vid at work but will the sound of teh engines/exhausts be in the video if we are rolling past?

Warning If you see Fobz stating in the street bending over and playing with his video camera DO NOT RUN HIM OVER

From what i know something loosely based around this idea has been suggested. A good idea none the less!

way to quote a year old post Dave! Carlos doesn't even come on Pwrx anymore since he sold his car... *clap clap*

:D

Fobz will be doing a flyby with a camera in a jetpack...

naked...

I will also be out with a steadycam at the meet points.
It should turn out something like this:

I'll even have the music from the YouTube clip pumping out from a boombox strapped to me.

Given that he posted that a year ago, I'd hope he has updated the app since then too!

The usual bump...

Also, if you get any HD video from the day feel free to give me your memory
card and I will post it back to you :D

Lets hope the rain holds out :cool:

Should have 2 car cams on the go. If I can figure out what you're driving, I will be sure to help out.
