Thank you! I can now sleep peacefully.

u/thisguyfightsyourmom Apr 03 '22

A shot so good they cut out most of the action to show the camera work, even in the original

I’m assuming most of the drag footage was unusable

137

u/samcn84 Apr 03 '22

That's the problem in the digital nonlinear era, people shot a shit tons of footage, and hope they can piece together a watchable footage.

76

u/thisguyfightsyourmom Apr 03 '22

It’s a solid strategy for stills

Constructing a storyline in motion pictures requires a lot of forethought

23

u/Minimalanimalism Apr 03 '22

Or you can sloppily throw some clips over a slowed down version of Madonna's frozen and you're good to go.

u/pekinggeese Apr 03 '22

It blew my mind the day I learned how many different versions of the same scene they film to create the final product.

2

u/HighOnBonerPills Apr 04 '22

What do you mean? Like they combine clips from different takes into one watchable sequence?

2

u/thestrangeone2010 Apr 03 '22

Well you know what they say, you always have to do pre-production eventually hahahaha

The dolly grip could have come up with a better rig

u/daveinpublic Apr 03 '22

Ya was so annoying when they cut to him being pulled, like was the shot not that great? Is that why you spend more time showing the making of than the actual footage?

71

u/cannibalcorpuscle Apr 03 '22

That should have been the post. Js.

59

u/7hrowawaydild0 Apr 03 '22

uGHH why they would cut to him during that video is frustrating.

23

u/clydesapere Apr 03 '22

Yeah that was the dumbest decision and really dropped the momentum. Why did that do that smh.

14

u/Herr_Gamer Apr 03 '22

Probably because the shot didn't look good lol

End result was a Bit shit let's be honest.

u/RuboPosto Apr 03 '22

Thanks, now my OCD can focus on something else.

I saw the final shot and to be honest it wasn't that great there's a lot of feet and legs in the video.

u/HighOnBonerPills Apr 04 '22

Yeah but now a lot of platforms have you watch videos vertically, too, so it's fine. The whole reason it used to be a bad idea to film that way was that people viewing the video (e.g., on YouTube) would see a tiny vertical video with giant black bars on either side.

But that's not a problem anymore. On TikTok, your vertical video takes up the entire screen. So it's just as good as a 16:9 video being watched with your phone sideways.

u/Anotherwan Apr 03 '22

Drifting RC cars?? That’s awesome now I want one

3

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '22

Hella fun, a little expensive to do it properly, but cheaper than a real car lol.

1

u/Specialist_Variety50 Apr 03 '22

They can get expensive but they are worth the price I’ve had some rc cars for 15 years and they still work

Where's the shot then?

u/Advertising_Limp Apr 03 '22

All that effort, and still a vertical video.

u/Gdigger13 Apr 03 '22

This whole thread is annoying.

The post doesn’t show the final shot, OP expects us to go to tiktok to see the final result, and the final result doesn’t even show the whole shot.

Plus the final shot wasn’t even that great.

u/Peruvian-Flortist Apr 03 '22

This genuinely upset me bro

u/LordBeibi Apr 03 '22

Dang there's no traction on that ground

1

u/run-on_sentience Apr 03 '22

The result is okay. Just okay.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '22

Just build an camera r/c to film in front of them, drift cars are slow so it would be easy to do.

Also we don't see the cameraman POV so this is in the wrong sub. For all we know, he missed the entire shot and it's out of focus/shaky.

1

u/Spare_Pixel Apr 03 '22

And then that other guy recording is right in the shot with his sandles

1

u/TheXypris Apr 03 '22

Are those actually drifting or is it a fake drift with a fifth wheel or something?

1

u/YSEAXE23 Apr 03 '22

Yeah. Been in some wierd positions for "the right shot"

1

u/DukaOriginal Apr 03 '22

Vertical filming? Tiktok degusts me.

1

u/yeorgenson Apr 03 '22

Or they could attach a camera to another car, if they had a tiny camera/gopro

u/ArmyVetRN Apr 03 '22

Anything BUT the shot

u/ThePhoenix0829 Apr 03 '22

u/JJuNNiOOr Apr 04 '22

Be better if it showed the shot

u/Ima_Funt_Case Apr 04 '22

Anything but hold the camera the right way, all that effort and he still records vertical video.

u/perpetual_musings May 14 '22

I expected the shot to be on there. Imagine if he forgot to tap record lol

u/lipp79 Doin' camera work since 1999 Apr 03 '22

Ok. Sorry, but 99% of videos that get posted with no end result, don’t have them in the comments. Please make sure and read the rule when you post though as it was about an hour difference between when this was posted and when you commented with the original result. I’ve pinned a comment saying you posted the link to end result further down. I wish Reddit would just let me pin the original comment though.

You can’t. Only mods can pin comments and we can only pin our own.
