Drifting at Rim of the World Rally (2005)
http://blip.tv/file/284063

Drifting has been the fastest growing form of motorsport in the last few years. The west coast immediately embraced the style and aggression of drifting. It turns out that for many street drifters, the left foot braking and e-brake techniques of WRC rally are their inspiration. In this clip the TEIN D1 car by PJ Bonifacio Autodesign gets very sideways. You will also see the Slide Squad and the Drift Patrol Cop.

whew!
between shakycam and the funky letterbox, it was really hard to hang with it.
less production and more content is usually better with this stuff.

[Coiloverkid]

I could only watch half of that before my head wanted to explode...


less post-prod plugins and wowie-zowie, more proper videography composition techniques...

video compression

This one was a little shakey. I figured it was better to post some of the footage from the pilot episode than to just throw it in the away. That video hosting service lowered the frame rate and compressed the image pretty badly. Or maybe you are just epileptic.

We are constantly trying new video hosting services, and if you have the bandwidth the following links might play better for you.

Entry level professionals

Well it was in the spring of 2005.
I believe that those drivers went on to to quite well in comptetition.
There were some smoking cones trapped under those cars, though.
Not too many people had any skills then.
The U.S. has come a long way in a short time.

Well, they had stickers ALL over their car, so they must be professionals.
