Spyder video

We are planning on shooting some Speedster stuff in the coming weeks, which I will post... for now here's a quick spyder clip for you guys.

Uh oh! Crossing a double solid line! Anyway, that's a real beauty Carey. What powerplant is that in there?

Funny, over on www.spyderclub.com I said the same thing and told Carey to go directly to the local Sheriff's office and turn himself in for crossing the double yellow line.

Apparently Carey has an "in" with the local Sheriff :) :) :)

GREAT FUN!!!!

Haha. I didn't notice the double yellow line until my Uncle sent me an e-mail. Then Larry's post the next morning...
...and, yes, the local boys let me run the cornfield roads at my own risk.

That engine is a Subaru EJ25. We have been using a lot of them in both speedsters and spyders lately.

Lose that red ball cap and put on some shades ! ! ! ! ! !

Otherwise . . . the vid makes the car look as slow as s#it. The viewer wants to be excited by something that they don't own and can't do. The car is all over the road but looks to be traveling around 38mph.

Wind out the motor and let us HEAR it hurting. A little stagger cam work and an over-all more saturated look to the coloration would keep things alive. When the car is sitting still fade the imagery out to a rich sepia to play up the heritage of the shape, then jump cut and hit HARD with another staggered cam shot in blazing color of the car flashing past with s few sun blind spots cut in and again. LET"S HEAR THAT PISSA ENGINE at full song.

Oh, and lose the silly ball cap and get some shades on that driver . . . he just looks sad with those little Puppy Dog eyes.

And that early 90's techno-pop ! ? ! ? ! ? You wanna have Spyderbait as background sound.

Carey - very cool promo video! BTW - some 'shades' while driving the Spyder (ala James Dean) would be cool as well.

I haven't heard the word "sepia" used for 20 or 30 years. I used to draw engineering lines for a living and as I remember, we used sepia (or brownline prints) for a "second original" when creating an off-shoot of the original design.

Yeah buddy that's what I'm talk'n about !

Sepia...

Carey - The video is seriously cool, but TC's right about one thing - the car looks like it's going pretty slowly. Y'all need to kick it up a notch.

TC - I'm not sure everybody will agree with you about the music, but I like it. I can't decide whether I prefer it to the original or not. The guitar work is stellar, but the guy's voice grates on me.

When it comes to "Black Betty," Spiderbait doesn't even come close to the original by Ram Jam.
However, that tune wouldn't be my first choice for a Spyder replica video.
Maybe it's a little too direct, but I'd try "James Dean" by The Eagles.
And the car should look like it can go a bit faster, too.

The link doesn't seem to work now.

The spyder video briefly shows up then I get redirected over and over again.

You're right, John, that the tune doesn't go with the Spyder video. It is a good fit for the hot rod one, though. Glad you could remember the name of the band that originally did "Black Betty", 'cuz I sure couldn't.

All of the filming with me driving behind the camera car was SLOW.
No idea why they picked that particular trip around the S's... I had several more spirited runs for sure. Regardless, there is 5 hours of footage and that is just 2 min of it, from the producer, as a teaser. I'll share the input with him and I'll be sure to post a link for any other cuts.

Oh and TC, I do normally have my shades but it was DARK and overcast, (I am actually very surprised at how well things came out considering), and I'll keep that in mind next time... but the hat stays... ;)

A a a a r r r g g g h h h h ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Points well taken. I'll advise the producer to put some of the shots of me throttle steering the car through the S's. I know there are plenty of the side of the car coming right at him, smoke rolling off the tires, and the crackle of that Suby at 7K. But I'll still have my red hat!
And hey, I turn wrenches EVERY DAY, ALL DAY. I just work on new s#it and know how to wash my hands...

Hey, why did you delete your last post, I was havin' fun.

"Cause it was rude and stupid and you're my friend . . .

For the record, it didn't bother me a bit...

Carey,

Is there any footage with the camera mounted inside the car while you're driving?

Yes there is, although I don't have it. There is also some on YouTube from a shoot we did last year. I believe it was called Along Came a Spyder.

Thanks for the footage.....You realy should have "nailed" it, just to get a charge out of these guys....:) :) :)

OK, took some searching around, but at LEAST you now have the right music for your video.

Gotta go to work next on your First Camera next. Right off the bat we have a continuity error in that you open with shot of the garage door going up and the car facing outwards. A few silly "trick shots" and we're inside the garage, door still going up and we see your smudgy little face, trying to look all who-knows-what in a silly red little boy's cap, but NOW the car (and you) are facing inwards.

What's next? A rapid acceleration into the back wall . . . ? ! ? ! ?

TC, you are a cruel prick, you know. Yes, you do already know!

Carey, just do another video with loud, screaming engine and lots of spinning tires. Kind of like when you took Lane for a Spyder ride back in 2006 at Carlisle. Lots of sideways spinning going on.

Um... I must have missed that ride. Your the only one who's taken me for a Spyder ride, Danny. (Hint, hint, Carey :-)

Oops, I misremembered wrong, right?

Um... Left?
