You will notice the racing gets a lot smoother and better in places - thats because I am constantly learning and refining, and figuring out the best way to do things with my set up.
I found a program that lets me control all my cameras from my laptop, so I can now trigger them simultaniously, which its just so much easier than filming continiously and trying to find the 6 second bursts in a 45 minute video to edit.
I'm learning about the camera angles and how to best use my gimble - and some best practices for voice work and editing. I used a small sound dampening enclosure on the microphone, made from acoustic foam and duct tape. It worked very nicely, though I should punch up the vocal gain a bit next time.
I didn't have -time- to do all the voice work or transitions I wanted to do, so I focused on the first few races to practice, then I busted ass to keep my promise of finishing group one and getting group two out today.
I am open to any feedback you offer.

The youngest driver in the WMD, Harry of Essex Boys Racing, asked me to add some weapons and armor to his landscaping truck.
Your wish is my command, Harry

It was the dark of the moon, But it felt like high noon,
When the count came shambling down.
A boot hill rite,
In the dead of night,
And they aimed to take the town.
But ol Darq wasn't slow,
And his eyes began to glow,
As he called for the Rangers.
Shotgun came in stride,
His posse at his side,
For he and Darq were no strangers.
A showdown ensued,
And the zombies wanted food,
And the Count gnashed his teeth.
But the boys stood firm,
And in no uncertain terms,
Showed no blade back to its sheath.
- Let’s hear a joke, what do you call a human with a bunch of holes, SWINE CHEESE, anyway if i hadn’t already qualified I would have gladly sent these guys backing with my dual death machines — Kingjester
- i love it — dr_dodge
I learned a lot making this video - and an unwillingness to post shitty footage is why I only have 5 cars in this batch, rather than the ten I intended.
I will do them this weekend and continue onward from there.
Thank you all for sticking with me as I learn all the skills needed for this aspect of the hobby.
