I actually had a sore head and needed to get some fresh air, my camera tagged along and after a 6 hour editing session this is the results.

I really tried to capture interesting patterns created by lights casting through the surrounding objects, I then matched them to the music’s beat. I played with the footage speed increasing and decreasing to suit the song. You might of also noticed the music fading from left to right on your speakers, I played around with some surround sound settings aswell, thought it added a little more to the video.

Its a nice change from filming car events and I cant wait to do more random spur of the moment filming.

The Sony FX7 is ment to be a very poor choice for shooting night footage but I think it came out quite well.

Everyone knows there is more to drifting then just blazing tyres but no one shows it, so in this video I wanted to show what goes on behind all the tyre smoke. The video starts off slow and warm but it doesn’t take too long before we get back to the throttle smashing tyre blazing. Big thanks go out to Andy and Emily from PowerVehicles.com for karting my butt around and letting me crash at there place, much love.

Part II will be just be a quick run down of the final tandem runs but it was raining so hard it made for some slow and non-eventfil action, hence why its getting its own video as to not take away from Part 1.

I say never before seen because not person has filmed an Ebisu Drift Matsuri where they have put themselves only inches from then panel smashing body breaking action.

Sit back and enjoy a general overview of the weekend from a drift perspective, let the engine noise and panel bending symphony drop you right into the action. The next inclusion in the series will be more about the inner workings of the community at these events, followed up by an action packed wall tapping car crashing video.

Got a drift day at Honjo circuit this Saturday running in expert class with the big boys, little worried but I got assured I should be fine. Will be doing all incar camera footage all day so hopefully there will be some good door to door battles.
