2005 Club Video Project..DVD?

Big up to Shorty for taking on 'Events'..

Perhaps we can organise a half dozen of us to focus on making a region DVD of our 2005 antics...

Who's up for it.. I know a couple of you have already made a start.. Steve also took some footage from a year back.

Perhaps Shorty should sit in to co-ordinate..

What do you think?

Nice.

If we can get 4 or 5 committed to this (pref with digi-cams and some time) then we can make the most of our annual events and sth to watch at the AGM...

Yip, still got all that footage. I'll even make a new years resolution to try and deliver the footage quicker than 18 months later!

count me in as well, i've got the old "disposable" hi-8 analogue camcorder, its used as a stuntman for the expensive ones, and its still surprisingly good quality despite being "old hat"

i do have the editing facilities though, including dvd burning so if i can be of help just shout loudly (preferably send me a pm or email, im more likely to respond )

i've made a start on the old crail footage from 2001, and i'll post my "numberplates have been obscured to protect the guilty" segment tomorrow when i get my ftp server links fixed

 Nice.. so let's discuss at Perth meet and get sorted.. I guess everyone tries to bring their cams as often as possible to all club and other bimmer where club mbrs are present and also feed in any individual footage. Someone can then take charge of editing the DVD.

My effort will be to bring;

In car footage of any track events attended by M 8LUR..

Crail thrash days

2005 Britball (entered)

Suisse Z-Register trip in August

Mbrs can then buy this (paid up mbrs get small discount) and coffers can feed into region budget.. let's aim to get it all fed in and burned by next September/October so orders can be taken in time for next crimbo..

Any recent footage athat can already be edited?

How does that sound Shorty?

May I also propose to the committee that if this is a success (which I think it will be) that someone is officially appointed at the next AGM..

ya?

I'm planning on some european trackdays next year. You're welcome to use any of when I'm using the bmw.

Thanks M3CSL.. be great to see the car in action.. especially with them new brakes. BTW Yoshi in the big black Lex Turbo wants a re-match.. he says you kept going into the pits when caught up with you.. Personally I think Yosh is kidding himself tho his car is pretty mean and not slow neither for its size.

Back to the thread.. There is potential for some superb bimmer action.. it's good to get a range of cars, sounds.. and scenery. Does anyone know how we can fix a mike so we can pick up the engine better? Normally most videos I see are dominated by wind-noise.. any ideas...

Stephen if you can take charge of editing that would be great. Everyone else can then send you footage so can you give out an email and correspondence address?

Cheers

Yeah - he has no lsd.. hence the wheel spin..

Mate .. not as bad as you think.. it 's really an Altezza & has TRD suspension and runs the Supra twin-turbo lump giving 280bhp on low boost so not as slow as it looks.. but I'm sure you had no probs with him.

I did explain about the brakes and you were taking it easy.. he's very misguided about how fast M cars can be in the right hands.

Cheers m8.. so the Video Team as it stands right now is;

Shorty (Tommy) - Co-ordinator and committee liason

Stephenperry (Stephen) - Editor

M 8LUR (Jon B) - Contributor

Pete323 (Pete) - Contributor

M3CSL (Paul) - Contributor

330DSE (Steve) - Contributor

215M3 (Toby) - Contributor

Mell (Mell) - Contributor

Any other contributions greatly appreciated - please PM Stephen, myself or Shorty (Tommy) about details.

The aim is to make sure we attend each club event + bring in together footage and pass to Stephen to edit and check with Shorty (Tommy) as to events etc. I love it when  plan comes together.

We can then show the film at the next AGM and offer DVD copies to mbrs to raise funds.

Let's get the ball rolling ASAP in 2005. Perth meet looks a good target..
