  • Fifteen drivers tackle the Piston Junction Switchback today - There's heartbreak. joy and pedal to the metal acrobatics!
    The Bronze, Lisa R.N., Feral Patrick, Officer unFriendly, The Count, James Ironbeard. Dani McNuggs, End Count, Triple B, Hoyt Coxley, Bobby Jo Vanderbuilt IV, Pinky Tuscadero, Moon Slug, Buffalo Jones, Lady Apothica Death and Ra Sungod all try to get down the Piston Junction Switchback today!
    You will notice the racing gets a lot smoother and better in places - thats because I am constantly learning and refining, and figuring out the best way to do things with my set up.
    I found a program that lets me control all my cameras from my laptop, so I can now trigger them simultaniously, which its just so much easier than filming continiously and trying to find the 6 second bursts in a 45 minute video to edit.
    I'm learning about the camera angles and how to best use my gimble - and some best practices for voice work and editing. I used a small sound dampening enclosure on the microphone, made from acoustic foam and duct tape. It worked very nicely, though I should punch up the vocal gain a bit next time.
    I didn't have time to do all the voice work or transitions I wanted to do, so I focused on the first few races to practice, then I busted ass to keep my promise of finishing group one and getting group two out today.
    I am open to any feedback you offer.

    Great stuff man! Glad to watch how things are progressing. The commentary is good and witty, don't be afraid to do more. 4 cars on this track is going to be nuts! Congrats.

      I would have done intros and commentary for everyone, but I was running out of time and I (to me, at least) promised to have this one out yesterday. You can see some of the videos have transitions and embelishments - and I was gonna do some SFX, but really, there's just so -much- in the video.

      It's both topical to you, and the fastest car so far. And who can dislike a car that does an electric slide on its side? Other than the body shop, that is.

    2:57 and similar, very good lighting in the start tunnel, I knew you'd get that sorted out!
    Good placement of your logo and Rust Belt's, I would have been comfortable seeing them bolder, more opaque, on screen.
    Digging your announcing voice! Please, more!
    All praise for such creative builds that are completely on-brand with the venue's theme! Everyone understood the assignment aesthetically!
    "Some cars not for use with all sets" This happens with a brand new course, no honour lost--even those builds less than successful here were fun to watch! Even the wipeouts into the safety fence were thrilling, good use of slow motion where it counted most! Loving this!!

      Theres time, if you hurry, to send in some replacements! I have about 3 weeks before I start the racing racing. But still, I -loved- Barricades recovery. If only it had the oomph to make it around that second corner, it would have gone all the way, I think.
