my video from oulton park

[M1ke]

Ok people, this is my VERY FIRST video I have made, Shaun, Helen, and martin recorded it for me at my first track day this year on my zxr400.

Feedback is appreciated as I plan on making more. Please note this was my first trackday on this bike so I was extremely slow

Anyway....

alrite mike..

Kool vid, didn't like the music tho haha...

[Silver]

My one piece of advice would be, don't let someone else edit it! That way you don't have to worry about random insults half way through!

Oh, and shoot whoever chose the music!

[DisabledRider]

yeh Lol. Mike i'll edit it for you if you want

[M1ke]

Excuse me, but I edited it my self I'm not ashamed to admit I was crap, I did get taken by a pan of all the things...

I've done a track day since and I got used to the bike alot more, maybe my next vid won't be such a piss take (at least not of me.... when I pass shaun...)

[DisabledRider]

haha kool, cant wait, but like i sed on messenger the musics shite hehe

[Silver]

Well, you're a better man than me. I'd have burnt the footage of the Pan if it was me and denied all knowledge

You still doing Brands on the 17th?

[M1ke]

Yes silver, will be there on the 17th, sadly I think i'm going alone (unless you will be there?) everyone else is at work so no one to get any video footage either

[Silver]

Yeah, I was going to rebook either the 16th or 17th. Seems like we're the only two people going so I'll book the 17th too. Weather looks good

Northernlass will be coming, although not with the camcorder (not much fond of wobbly shots of grass/sky/grass/sky/empty track!). She'll have her EOS 300D and took some good shots at Cadwell so you might get in a couple!

[welshy]

M1ke.....that made me laugh so much.....what were you thinking with that music (We .my girlfriend and I, sang that as Karaoke in a Cowboy bar in Nevada last year and nearly got shot!!!)

Anyway, some tips. Make of them what you will.

1) Choose the right music. It can make all the difference.
2) When you want to include some speech just lower the music and increase the speech, don't stop the music.
3) Try and do cuts on the beat of the music.
4) Onboard footage to mix with the trackside if you can.
5) Display any text with the video still visible.

I have a couple of vids on hear that follow most of the above but the best thing to do is have a play and see what you come up with.

[Bendy]

I'm going to hurt you next time I see you M1ke.



Wanders off humming Barbie Girl against her will.

[R4nger]

Fantastic song!

[paulthewitt]

lurv the song lol

looked like you were getting quicker towards the end of the vid

[Shaun]

Nah, he just sped up the footage!

[Visitor Q]

Very good sighting lap. However if that track wasnt covered in diesil or ice, or there werent large crowds of topless models standing just next to the corners.... im deeply concerned....

Lovely bike though.
Certainly seemed to get up to speed on the straight

Those 2 bikes you see wizing past at the end were in the fast group, mike was in novice, he just put in a quick pan of them, and a wobbley shot of him in the attempt to make it look like he was out there with them.

[Deano]

I like the video but it loooks to me as you are not taking the corners tighter and not being aggressive enough with the throttle ie backing off to early.

I don't mean to criticize or offend just trying to help.
