A 25 minute drive

[DJKOR]

Well I was working on mounting my camera in the car and found a neat way to mount it so it is relatively stable. I got a bit bored and though of trying something out. I had to drive to Manheim Fowles yesterday and through I would give it a shot. The end result wasn't quite how I wanted it, but nevertheless:

I was. I promise. Just all those people around me going under the limit that make me look fast

Yeah. Finding the right song took a little bit of listening. Needed something that works with the type of video so it won't bore you out too much.

great Vid mate.....

need a fish eye lense... and the Less Sky, More road, rule applies to shooting cars.... unless its a panoramic shot from a distance where the sky looks fantastic.

Thanks for the tips mate. Yeah, I really suck when it comes to anything involving a camera. I just have a point and shoot camera and time to waste. Ideally I wanted to mount a camera outside on the bonnet or roof, but didn't have many options there.

If I get my hands on some decent equipment though I'll definitely remember that.

4.77 times or there abouts. It was sped up to fit within the length of the song. So some cases look like I'm going just under 600km/h

The drive seems quite long even when looking at it quickly. Yet you don't really realise it on the road.

all the same... time lapse is awesome!

did you just squish it in between the head rest and the seat??

I tried that at first but it didn't sit how I wanted cause of the design of my headrest. I got a little creative with my limited resources. Just a cheap compact tripod and a jockey strap. The strap pulls down and forwards which keeps all three legs firmly planted on the ground so the camera didn't shake around (too much):

Hahaha...you Tekkie,you crack me up with some of your ideas...great work mate :D

[123R-Prozak]

wow, kept me entertained while eating dinner lol, peeps need to do this in sydney so we can be like " omg i know where that is !! "... wish u could take off at the lights like that in real life aye...

mental note to self

if you see car with camera in it, overtake the bugger up the inside so then he has to reshoot the entire video again

scared me a bit thinking ppl from forest lake could get into town so fast, like to think they are sufficiently isolated from the rest of the popluation of brisbane, so good to hear it's on warp speed.

Will hopefully have an external camera mount by then. Will experiment since I will be going.

Had to use Adobe Premiere. It allows you to define the length you want the video to go for and then change the audio track. It took a whole 3 hours to encode the video file for that short clip. Not the best PC I have here.

How crap is the road out the front of the Auction Place...

Nice video man.

Crap enough that the speed bump at the end was so well hidden that I slammed on my braked and slipped a little.

Ignore the massive bass distortion:
