Okay so I was hesitant to post this video originally as the footage is shaky, there are some quality issues, and the final edit is not perfect - but my friend and I decided to play around with his new DSLR that he has been trying out some automotive photography and cinematography with. It was incredibly hard to film this in moving cars on rough Colorado roads without professional rigging equipment (the camera car was a Chevrolet Malibu without a sunroof) so please go easy on us, but I wanted to do a Vossen-style tribute to the W211 and my EuroSport wheels. We plan to remake the video with a glidecam and using some actual cross-processing in After Effects (not just three channel color processing in Premier Pro CS6) and with better rigging equipment next time. Video stabilization helped some but fine-tuning it was a tedious process that can only take you so far. This is his first automotive video that we both worked on (I was the driver of the Mercedes and helped out a bit on editing, but this is mostly his work and vision) so take that into consideration and enjoy! Danny is a talented videographer and photographer that I really respect so I think the final product is something he should be proud of


Music is A Moment by Joey Trife. I don't normally listen to this music but as showcased by the team at Vossen it tends to work out very well with more modern automotive videos.

I think you guys did a good job for one of your first videos.

On a side note, i keep meaning to get back up to Denver for some more of the Saturday meets.

W205, X253, C190, W213,
Great concept... execution is shaky... literally and figuratively. Tripod, for starters...and a motion control rig.
