Willow Springs - My Nasa HPDE video

This video was shot during a NASA hpde trackday held at Willow springs
this last August.

Since my race car has been in surgery all year, I have been atending NASA events with my friends and have recently become a NASA instructor.

This was a learning expirience for some of the videos I will be shooting for when my car gets on the track again.....planning some cool videos when that happens!

The primary goal of this short video besides making a cool video for my
best friends was to exercise my newly acquired Final cut Pro skills. It
was shot with a Panasonic HVX200 HD camera in 720pn. It was my first day
with the camera and was getting used to everything. I had a hard time
looking at the LCD on some of the pans in the bright sunlight(I now have
a custom monitor hood). Most of it was shot at 24fps with a few 60fps
shots included as well. I was running around all day but I think all in
all for a first try I left with some decent footage. I edited it on
Final Cut Pro Studio as well as color correcting on it as well. The
titles were made with Motion and Livetype.

I had to compress it down for VIMEO but it is what they call an "HD"
video. Still it is runnign at 15fps so it might appear to the more
trained eye a bit jumpy (especially the titles at the end).

I highly recommend once you let it download, that you click on the
little X on the screen to make it go full screen on your monitor. Also
on the bottoem of the page they have a link to download it to your
computer. Sit back turn up the volume and enjoy! Hope you all Like it!!


HERE IT IS.....

For more info on the #475 car, visit his build blog (pics and specs) - I
also helped build this car.

#34 car (Adam's car) was purchased as a race car (here on bimmerforums)
already just 1 month before this video was shot. No build blog yet. But
here are some specs on his car.
-3.0L with schrick cams, software, intake, HFM, headers
-Tckline double adjustable coilovers
-OZ wheels - Yoko Advans
-Brembo -2 piece rotors
-quaife diff
Etc.etc...etc....

Both cars besides being the same color are actually pretty matched.
Dmitry is a more experienced than Adam. By the looks of it Adam is eager
to get more track time and catch up!
