there is no Competition . An m3 Film

[Law]

i love that spot in LA, even though it smells like piss everywhere.

Nice videography

What stretch of road is that at 1:06-1:13 and 1:41-1:51?

[M3chaser]

That is awesome!!!
Congrats and keep feeding us with your good work. Keep it up bro!

Great Video!

Car is SO clean!

[Gray_Panther]

Great video! Would have been awesome at the end if you kept going up and cutting off when the moon becomes center and focused.

I like the soundtrack. I can't do better so, good work

[IntegraXTR]

great video! i loved the sound track...

the only thing that i noticed that could've been smoother was the walk to the road opening (though the timing of the car passed spot on!). It just felt choppy and after all the other smooth panning shots it felt weird to me.

didn't mean to dock on you tho! i really liked the video, good job and hope to see more...

hell if you came down to Hawaii for vacay or something film my car haha!

[meng4n1to]

Epic video! Sounds amazing!

+1 one on many comments above

+ FANTASTIC editing
+ 1/2 the camera angles were great
+ Anti-climatic - and camera angles need to desperately be improved for scenes of the car in motion, but I get it, you don't have a helicopter or a professional rig setup
+ Best part of all - soundtrack. Is it original? Can we get a copy? Shazam can't pick it up, lol. Epic music with dubstep, too great.

great video. 2 things missing though. 1. A girl in a checkered flag bikini. 2. A massive explosion.

nice video, reminds me slightly of a Michael Bay trailer

Keep trying.

Thanks for the criticism!

True! Ill make it more interesting next time .

It's only my opinion, but I think you should tell a story with every film.

True !

Thanks all! This was shot in Downtown LA.

Correcto!

I tried to give it a sense of walking rather than a perfectly smooth motion. I guess it didnt work well with the rest of the video.

Haha , definitely not a big enough budget for movie quality car to car shots. But I am working on improving those.

The track is by a really good producer.. Instrumental Core. Check out his work on youtube!

Haha that would definitely spice things up.

It's not bad. If you want to know what I would change, you have some shots where there is simply too much time out of focus. The shot at 1:26 is a good example. Second, there are a few shots (like the one starting at 32 seconds) where the camera is not level, and so the entire frame appears rotated a few degrees. This is very easy to correct in post. Third, the last shot is pretty awkward. I get what you were trying for, but it could have been shot better, specially being the final shot of the short. Focus problems again. The car moves out of focus so quickly you can barely tell what it is. Are you unable to manually move the focus on the DSLR you're using? Finally, the use of dubstep on shorts like this is the quick, generic, overused choice. Other than those four points, it's well done.

Hope you don't mind the critique. It's really very good and I think with a little bit of editing it could easily be 100%.

Thanks for the constructive criticism !

Overall great video, I enjoyed it, I could tell what you were going after with it. You have some good glass too that you're working with.

Seriously though OP, this is very nicely done. In fact if I hadn't known upfront that this was a fan film, I almost would have thought this was an official ad.

Haha I was just doing a play on words

[///Kayd]

Very nice, love it.

[LaLakers91tc]

pretty good job. The focus needed work in quite a few shots, but that will come with practice

The creativity and camera angles were awesome though

Very nice video but more downshifting exhaust sounds would have been real nice, especially with the MPE...for example the car coming out of a parking garage the downshifting right before exiting, the sound echoing is ecstasy...


Need to do video of mine soon...

[E92Brembo]

Gay...JK! AWESOME!!!!!

[jorge_r8]

nice video...

[Law]

What stretch of road is that at 1:06-1:13 and 1:41-1:51?

[ApexM3]

Graet video. Def needs some aggressive shots of the car whipping it around a corner or something but other than that awesome.
