I'll send you guys the link to the pictures and video on my website tomorrow. Too tired to post it up now. I took a glance at the video that Grace helped us shoot. There are some really cool shots! I wanna thank Grace for helping us shoot these great clips. So Inconsequential, if you could pass that message to her, that'd be great. :) And if you still wanna come by and take a look at the uneditted video, give me a call. Today was SO FUN!!!!! :D Can't wait to do this again!

Hey Rotary Titus, Mind adding ** PICS INSIDE ** to the title of this thread? Just a forewarning to those on dialup or slow internet.

Thanks!

Hopefully we will get a chance to see the video Eldon has soon. We should plan a day for us all to watch the full unedited video though.

We should have done some shots of our dirty rims, or bug encrusted front ends..... might have proven amusing.

WTF that's excessive! I didn't spend nearly that much,maybe only half that!
.... It would appear autos are way more thirsty huh!

On a side note, anyone else discover serious ROCK CHIPS on their front hood/fenders? I'm heart-broken.. need to touch it up ASAP. I guess tailgating has it's down side.

I am NEVER following anyone without mudguards again =p
but actually, I had the 3M clear bra done on the front of my car and haven't noticed any new dings....
The roads are kinda rough right now with a few pot holes here and there (but nothing wheel bending serious that we had to slow down for). Just don't go rallying like Ken and you'll be fine :D

I'm done editting the video... Took the 24 minutes down to 4.5min... I just gotta figure out how to compress it so that you guys can download it... Or I can burn it onto a DVD for all of you guys... That'll give you better quality too. :D And anytime you guys wanna come over and watch the full uneditted version, just organize it. (anytime other than work hours: Mon-Fri 9-5)

Inconsequential

yeah, sorry Eldon, some work stuff came up on the other weekend, even though it was a weekend off, how would everyone feel about meeting up on Monday night to watch it, if Eldon is up for it.
Go for some sushi or something, then watch the movie... preferably with music dubbed on, to cover Grace and I talking away, and the constant swearing hehehe She forgot it had sound as well as video...

i'm up for monday... but is monday a little last minute now? how 'bout we wait for Rotary Titus to come back first...? So thursday, maybe? what did you mean by "mid week"?

and yeah. The music is the only thing you hear in the editted version. :D

Sorry guys! Unless you have a mac and have Quicktime 7, you can't view the video i editted. So why don't you just let me burn you that DVD. Sorry.

Inconsequential
05-15-2005, 08:31 PM
Well, I have Monday and Thursday available, but Star Wars opens late Thursday, right?
Either day would work for me. Give me a call tomorrow Eldon, and we can figure it out, if not enough interest for tomorrow.
