You could improve it, drape your OH in a bikini over the car

[Superhoop]

Shouldn't this be in the bad parking thread?

[Pig Skill]

It's a bit boring tbh mate. All that slow zoom/focus stuff is a tad tedious.

Plus there appears to be no theme to the shoot, it's more a collection of effects.

Oh, I don't buy the girlfriend owner thing either — it's yours isn't it? Don't be shy, there are far worse hairdressers cars you could own

[XitUp]

I don't get it. Why would you video a car that's not doing anything?

Nice car though.

[JulianHJ]

Smoother panning and focusing needed, too many jumpy effects make it a little annoying after a while. Lighting and location are a little lacklustre.

Lovely car, keep practicing!

Liked the effects/music, good work!

[davido140]

Better than anything I could ever hope to achieve, but I have to agree with mister hedgehog.

Dull. Watched have and fell asleep.

Whats the point. Just a collection of stills and zoom.

and WTF is 'ParkedHard'?

I think it's street parlance for "parked at a jaunty angle" old boy.

I see, so is that similar to "Unable to Park"?

The defacto PH derisory tone is beyond irritating, it really is. If you must adopt it, temper your response with some advice!

OP, definitely a good start, and as was alluded to earlier, better than many of us could hope to achieve. I would agree that the main thing is getting smoother pans - that would probably be the biggest step towards making it look of a professional standard.

Keep at it!

[Oakey]

My god, this software application has 'effects'.

I must use all of the effects. All of them.

[IhateChristmas]

Like the use of the roller skates but what is a flycam nano? Off for a Google....

Ah that's interesting, a little lightweight steadicam and the results on their site look really good.

Thanks for the comments guys, Yes Ive just got new software so its very effects heavy!

Im using a stills head for pans so I need to buy a video fluid head soon. I think some times its the cameras low ish frame rate that makes it look jerky and sometime youtubes compression too? Vimeo up loads always look smoother too.

ParkedHard is a american term for (cars just parked up doing nothing) Just though it would attract some controversy! lol..

The problems i have is I want to shoot things and learn to film/edit but don't have much to shoot! I cant wait to film some more interesting stuff! I want some drift/sliding shoots with cars flying about but there rant really many of them about! lol...


Thanks for the constructive comments though guys.

[jaybirduk]

I really liked it, the grimey effects suited the chosen music. Nice job

Thanks mate, it was my first time using the roller blades to shoot with and I had not used blades in at least 10 years! I think the shot near the end of the video worked out well as its a nice smooth pan.The firsts one not so good!. lol...
