hyper_m3 · 12-13-2015, 01:27 AM

Hello guys, here is a short movie I shot and edited of my M3.
I'm just doing this for fun and as my hobby. Hope everyone likes it.

Mods are: Lightweight front lip
Mode Carbon rear spoiler

Welcome to all critics and suggestions.

Well done.

GRIFFINO · 12-13-2015, 07:17 AM

Very cool film .... You're obviously very talented. All that open space I'd have had to do some side ways action shots

Lovely car btw mineral white catches the light nice!

Where in the heck is Batman? One improvement was the high altitude shot should of been done in reverse. End game is to see the car, not the parking lot. Look forward to seeing your hobby thrive. Well done OP.

Nicely done!!

Echoing on the comment above, I was waiting for the car-level lateral slow moving shot where the car just "takes off" and leaves the drone hanging... But well-done man - beautiful shots and nicely put together.

SakhirM4 · 12-13-2015, 09:08 PM

Well done - thanks for sharing

Nicely done. The first cross fade is a little off in my opinion. Also, back in the day a trick I learned from an advertising director is to use the same amount of motion going from one scene to the next (e.g. speed and duration). I think some higher speed shots with rapid approach of the drone would make this awesome. I love the zoom out, but as others mentioned, I would include a zoom in as well. The music is interesting, although not sure if it is the best fit. But again, lovely imagery and lovely car!

That was awesome I really enjoyed it! I have actually just purchased a GoPro Hero 4 Silver within the last week and have been sitting at the computer for hours trying to figure out how to do what you have done! What are you using to edit your video? Also what drone or other equipment are you using? Would love to hear any suggestions you have to offer!

Thanks for the feedback, this is my 1st time shooting and editing a video like that so i am a bit new to this but i am learning as i go. I will definitely do more!

Yeah i agree with the timing of each transition, this is my 1st attempt to do something like that so im learning and kind of winging it as i go. Thanks!

Nicely done! Did you edit in Final Cut or Premiere?

catch · 12-14-2015, 11:40 AM

mike@x-ph.com · 12-14-2015, 12:35 PM

Nicely done, even if you'd been practicing for a while. But this is a 1st attempt? Outstanding. I can't wait to see what you come up with next.
