  • Video: Callaway C6, AAT Camaro, and Mercedes CL 65

    I visited Cauley Performance Automotive (was Chevrolet) a few months ago. The people were very nice about letting me take footage, and even told me to try sitting in the Merc, which is about a $200,000 car (I didn't ask, they just offered.)








    Any feedback/constructive criticism would be appreciated, as I am considering taking some videography classes. Thanks!

    Nice video Chris!

    I'd love to have that C6 or the Camaro

    My suggestions for video making would be to use actual still photographs in the places where it is just a stationary shot. It seems kinds odd to see the car stationary with things moving in the background. Also - I'd stick to one kind of transition - the fade. All the other transitions are "high school-ish". Keep up the good work, and good choice in music - very neutral!

      First, x2, nice video, Chris.

      Second, respectfully disagree with just stills...then it just turns into a slideshow, not a video...

      Third, don't start with closeups of your target (not everyone is going to know what they're looking at)...start with an overall panning view that shows the entire target, and then close in on the details.

      Fourth, music to a video is like wheels to a car...they make or break it...just sayin'...

      Fifth, definitely take a couple videography classes...you'd be good at it...

        Very nice video Chris!

        I agree with stills mixed in with the video.

        Another poor choice with wheels on a 5th gen

        Side note: Foose is a heck of a car designer but I have never seen a Foose wheel that looks decent.

              Hey guys!

              Thank you for your honest input. I need to hear these things so I can have ideas on what to improve upon. Still in my beginning stages, but have gotten much better - you'd probably cringe at my camera work when I first started!
