Sweet...

 

[Sanjin Jukic]

2x R1-MX getting ultimate 3D rig today!!!

 

[Michael Ragen]

Awesome! Heli stuff looks sweet. I shot this car in 3d on the old M sensor earlier this year.

 

[jonnycom]

Very Cool, how do we see it in 3d?

 

[Tony Bacak]

sensational!
like the touareg crane

 

[Bryce O]

Rolling shutter on some of the gauge cluster shots. I guess that means the whole project is crap and amateur. :tongue:

 

[Ketch Rossi]

nice work, off course I always enjoy more the making of then the material itself, he eh, no seriously great work, look forward to seethe finished S3D version.

 

[Mitch Martinez]

great stuff!

 

[J.K.Dibbets]

that looks really intense!

 

[Eirik Tyrihjel]

That is just great, would love to see it in 3D!

I do some local shooting for Mercedes-Benz here in Norway every once in a while, so I have to brag and admit I was invited to test drive the SLS, which I did (on open road, at much safer speeds btw) but still: it is one amazing piece of machinery, takes your breath away!

So that|s where my car's gone...


Sweet!

Looks great, and a great behind the screens clip. But why does parts of Davids face look so dark at 0:19 -> 0:20 (inside the car, when his head is shaking)

I forgot to mention that the in car footage is shot 2D on Toshiba HD minicams to Nanoflash.

This means that there is no manual adjustment during a run.

Visuals are really great.

Great crew - bad sunburn!

 

[Julian Gerretsen]

Great stuff! The only thing I would lose is the canned helicopter sound on the overheads.... I mean, we know it's taken from a helicopter and all and it just got slightly annoying after a while... more of the car's engine roar would be great!
