st3ph3n Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 An idea came to me this morning, and I think it's a good one, or at least the start of a good one. Wouldn't it be good to make up some DVDs either after certain events or even better I think maybe every 6 months as a sort of review of whats going on. At track days, runs, crail, any events there's always some cameras about catching the action. Either in car or from a spectator point of view. We can pool all of these various bits of footage together and edit them into various chapters/scenes for particular events. So if we said June then we'd maybe have footage from one or two trackdays, a run or two, the Richard Burns relay, crail and any other events either organised by the club, or attended by in significant numbers. Would this be something that would interest anyone, and how much would you pay for one? I'd propose any profits go to a charity of everyone's choosing.
wrxmania Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Yeah - I'd buy that. Cost relative to what it is, how it's packaged, distributed, but keeping it under £10 for a well packed, posted item and circa £5 for a DVD-R version. Who'd edit it etc? Brian
G.T. Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 see gumball he has plenty of clips you might want in your dvd
st3ph3n Posted January 4, 2006 Author Posted January 4, 2006 I'm sure someone knows someone that can do small scale DVD runs that can maybe let us know about costs etc. Production/editing - I'd not strictly got that far in my thinking. I done some myself over christmas on some incar footage a mate of mine had recorded for me, but it only involved chopping the bad bits and rotating the image, so I can't claim to be anything other than a largely frustrated amateur. If volunteers could edit individual segments (such as a track day) then the results of that could be brought together, bashed into a menu system and bobs your uncle. We've got some budding Graphic Artists hanging about I think, they could maybe do us a cover for a slip case and the DVD itself.
gus the bus Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Sounds like a great idea Stephen! Could also be used as a promo video for car events/shows that we attend ie played as a background to let folks know (who ain't members) what the Club gets upto! ie events like the one Billyboy was talking about in Bathgate! I would also pay a tenner for such a DVD. Gus
RS Grant Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 The Swig did a DVD of one of the runs... I think that payment went direct to Santa Cruise too. Was good, up until my dog decided it'd look better in his mouth than my DVD player?! Cheers, Grant
Rice Rocket Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 I bought the Tunnel Run II which is about 30 or so scoobs having fun going through the tunnels of london. Not bad quality for £7s Ricey
