VIEW MOVIEThe new video by Bob and accomplice/wife Chun Mei, we proudly present, Chuxiong Entertainment’s, Ford Focus “S”peed Racer!
Video shot on August 27, 2006 at 6:00ish PM, shot on my 3CCD Panasonic (w/ wide angle attachment) in Chuxiong, Yunnan, edited with Final Cut 5.
Final Cut Notes:
- I used a preset, so that’s why it’s in a box format. Next time you’ll get the regular size. You can stretch the Quicktime window for the “Thomas Thompson” effect.
- I used H.264 2-pass, it took 30-40 minutes on this laptop to encode it, but it’s pretty sweet (I love variable compression.) Also, Quicktime allows for AAC audio compression (FLV doesn’t.) It’s a toss up, they both work and look good.
- I sped it up 277%, which I think it faster than Tom’s video. Lower might be more realistic.
- The ‘chirps’ you hear or my horn.
Update:
I re-compressed in FLV and I think I like H.264 better. I just can’t decide, but H.264 2-pass is the bomb. Anyway I also added a Flash Map.
That was the funniest shit I’ve seen in a while! I was laughing pretty good, I especially like the NASCAR revving of the engine at all of the lights! Damn!
Yes, laughing is good.
I’ve decided not to go 82 in a 35 any more. From now on it’s safety first. Don’t make any speedy videos in the Bay!
Is this the video that corresponds to your latest blog entry about receiving a speeding ticket. In that photo from your November 2006 blog, there is a date code from August 2006. Wow, that significantly adds to the cost of video production. I suggest using the squeeze in final cut to create the look of speed rather than actually speeding. Gotcha!
