Where are all the videos?

^I like that basketball video, some nice shots in there.
I've just started getting involved in automotive video. Been doing car photography for a while now but video is fairly new to me.
Here's my first proper attempt:

That is very good!
I enjoy video. I've been involved with it over the years at a professional level, mainly art direction and a keen amateur. I don't profess to be an expert but some useful nuggets I've picked up along the way that may be of help to others:
Sound. The audio capability in even the most expensive cameras is terrible. Plug in mics help but the best approach is to capture audio on a separate device designed for purpose.
Scene Dwell. A common mistake many amateurs make is to allow a single scene to dwell too long. Watch any film or TV programme and count the seconds before a scene switches. It's surprisingly quick; 3 to 5 seconds. Sometimes you need longer but generally you don't.
Edit. It's as much about what you leave out than what stays in. This requires discipline. We shot a series of 60 second vids for a social media campaign in the summer. One of them we experimented with a few things and ended up with a heap of really good stuff and the first cut was about 5 min long. Was quite a wrench to bin stuff but it needed it and the end result was good.
This is my latest amateur effort: https://vimeo.com/293851644
Having just re-watched it, I've noticed a load of things that need tweaking!

Lamborghini Urus
A short video I made of H.R. Owen's Lamborghini Urus. I only had about 2 hours to shoot it, and my drone was playing up...hence why it's so short.
