Budding videographer wanted

[paulmnz]

I'm looking for a motoring enthusiast into making youtube videos / films who is looking for some interesting stuff to film during 2020.

I'll be racing cars, racing offroad vehicles, doing trackdays, supercar stuff, classic car stuff, road trips and eurotrips all in my own cars. I have a collection of fairly interesting and collectable cars which I also work on so may do some garage 'how-to' stuff and know a bunch of interesting folks who make 'good tv'.

It's mostly for fun, unless the content is interesting enough to turn into a youtube channel, so obviously it's not paid, but you'll get to experience some pretty cool stuff - I have some highlights videos from the last few years I can show to give a bit of an idea of some of the events. I don't really do walking around car shows much, so most of the events / video subjects will involve actual driving

I have 4 gopros and a huge array of mounts, but you'd need to have your own additional gear and editing setup. looking for someone keen and reliable.

If anyone here is interested, PM me please... I'm based in London, but most weekends I'm doing something motoring related around the UK.

this isn't a commercial operation or the beginning of a new youtube/instagram channel, it's just for fun to record a bit more of the year. I'm not looking for a pro, but a keen amateur who maybe is looking for some interesting content to practice their skills. They'd get to experience access to many car-related activities which they might not have suitable vehicles for themselves. If they meet the insurance criteria they'd be welcome to drive some of my cars as well. if any of the content generated revenue, they would of course be entitled to a share of it from the platforms.

For some people getting an opportunity to lap Spa in an NSX, drive the col-de-turini in an integra type-r, VMAX a Ferrari on the autobahn or racing an offroader might be quite appealing as an experience - they just need to bring a camera with them and document it. I'm not talking about making 'content' with talk-to-camera stuff, just come along and record some of the driving and make an edit.

appreciate it's not for everyone, and certainly not for pros that make videos for a living.

I would have thought such an offer would be great for an enthusiastic amateur whos interested in cars and shooting video. I have oftern volenteered for lots of things, with no thought of asking money for it, just to enjoy the experience of it, which for me would be payment enough. I am to old and dont have any video skills to take up such an offer, but I truely hope you find someone who sees the potential for life satisfaction in it and not just a monetry gain.

That was exactly what I was expecting. In the past I have volunteered to manage and mechanic on race teams (cars and bikes) and really enjoyed the experience. The good news is that a couple of people share your view and have PM'd.

I've made my own clips in the past, so I know the editing takes a lot of time, but for some people its a fun hobby and they want something interesting to make videos about. I'm not asking for any particular level of professionalism or commitment, just thought it might be nice to share the experiences (which I do with my mates already) but with someone in the group keen to make an edit of the events.

Anyways, here are a few pics from the last couple of years, should be some great memories for someone that literally wants to come along for the ride...
