Pros: Lighting, edditing, and filming are pretty spot in. James' commentary is hillarious.

Cons: Poorly scripted. Even though it's a documentery, you want to have people that know what they want to say. The guys interviewed kind of stumbled through it and there was no real passion to it. And there's alot of info missing, too. People that aren't into cars are not going to know what Time Attack is, and might have a bare idea of what drifting is. Also, inside jokes like Fast and the Furious bit might not be picked up on by your average Joe because that's still how people see the Import scene. This is more like a car guy segment for car guys; documentaries educate people about things that they don't know about, or a specific subject that they want to know more about
Could be some more varieties of cars and events present, too. If you have somebody mention Auto-X and drag, there should be accompanying scenes to complement them.

Good presentation, just lacking substance; decent overall.

well i agree with you. if i would've had more time I think it would've been more of a complete video. I only had about 2 weeks to shoot and edit this thing.

Maxxdsix · 05-01-2010, 11:52 PM

Great Video

JDMTyler3326 · 05-02-2010, 01:23 AM

Awesome job for doing it all in 2 weeks. What kind of camera did you use for this?

ketchup! · 05-02-2010, 01:27 AM

Nice.

No DSM love? We're such misfits. Domestic guys won't admit that they were built in the US, and the import crowd just tries to convince themselves that DSM have all broken down or will be tomorrow.
