And we've got our first footage in! Thanks Vidina!

I'mma show you some of this stuff, just remember that he's kind of cheating, because he lives in fucking Norway and had a real camera lying about. I expect most folks won't have access to either of those things (real camera, Norway), so whatever you're already planning is still the right way to go with it.

I'm just a little bit freaking excited right now. This thing is gonna work.

Here's what a back-left passenger shot looks like.

Here's what he got for his "out of the car" bit. Sigh. Fucking Norway.

And here's his out-the-windshield shot.

Vidina did awesome here, and props for the fast turnaround. I'm gonna use these images as an example, though, so other folks can benefit from it. The passenger angle is great. The out the windshield thing is exactly what I'm lookin' for. As for the out-of-the-car shot, what he got here will totally work for me, but if you want to go a different angle with yours, go for it. This one is a flat angle from inside the car, you could do anything. (As long as you don't see the car, natch.)

And no, I probably won't be posting more stills from people's footage. Probably.

This is going to work. 

That's it!
Now I'm putting the finishing touches on that Vidina voo-doo doll I started the other day...

Ha!

The fun of this thing is gonna be how much the scenery and video quality run the gamut. My video is gonna be on a Flip cam.

Call up James Cameron and get him to do one from under the ocean

We have the Aussie outback that's close...  Bit of a wrong colour though.  Should make for an interesting montage at the end but I'm guessing I need to go someplace a bit more impressive for my exit scene than the local Kmart carpark to compete with bloody norway 

You're too kind.

On a side-note, though, I was directed to be in the back right, not left. You flipped me, Teague!

Depends on what you're using as reference. If you imagine a top down view of the car with the hood at the top. Teagues way is correct. However if you imagine that you are in the drivers or passengers seat looking over your shoulder, then you are correct.

See Teague, this is why I said you should make a map for people.

I feel for you, man. I did attempt to change the color, but there's too much blue in the shots to get away with it the easy way

just sayin'.

I think I need to add Norway to my travel list.

Less than $1,400.  Not this year, but doable. Got a spare bunk Tom?
