Just thought I'd share this short promotional teaser with you guys. It features a Mazdaspeed RX-8 and was filmed using all professional video hardware and software. It is only meant to give a glimpse into what will grow to be a much larger production, and is, at the moment, more of an experiment to test/set up film equipment. Drop a comment so I can get some feedback, both positive and negative reactions are of course welcome, just keep in mind its a teaser its meant to tease! Here is the youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqxElapYZls some shots from the photoshoot are below. Thanks guys.

Nice pics and video.

That said... why do people love calling their modified rx8 a mazdaspeed rx-8? Not to sound like an ***, but do you have any actual mazdaspeed parts on the car? Even with every MS part offered, I don't think it should be called a MS 8. /endrant

The car looks good... it isn't over the top which is definitely a good thing.

I believe I have every part Mazdaspeed offers and more on this car, I thought that would be enough to merit the title. I do understand where you are comming from though. However, that was more of a side thought to me, I honestly was much more focused on the content.

In my opinion there was too much time getting to the focal point, and then too quick a release on nearly every shot. I get the whole drama and fleeting moment thing, but it was too fleeting for me. If I didn't own one, I can't actually say I would have any idea what an RX-8 even looked like based on what I saw...

Just my .02. The .001 seconds of the car I actually saw looked great.

ok..what is the point of this


And I suggest using the MS wing instead of that rediculous GT wing on the rear if this is the "official" MS 8

This is not a 2010 rx8 nor is it a mazdaspeed RX-8. I don't care how many mazda speed parts you put on the car. If it didn't come from the factory as a Mazda speed RX-8, IT ISN'T ONE.

DOUBLE FAIL.

Woah, take it easy. 2010 is referring to production date (the cars an 05') and I really don't see how minor discrepancies with the name is entirely relevant. I posted to get feedback from the 8 community about the promo and how the car is represented, not to get bashed about my choice in title.

is that a genuine ms kit? it looks like a replica.

I think it looks good, could maybe use a drop based on the pictures, but I still think it looks really good.

mazdaspeed non-mag wheels? ;P almost all mazdaspeed....Overall, it looks good but it is a bit too fleeting, as mentioned above, the shots of the rx8 logo and burnout was perfect.

This was also in my mind, the front doesn't look like genuine kit...doesn't it have the black "teeth" in the large smile?

heh, sorry guys... pet peeve

Please keep in mind, I think the car looks great and I'm not criticizing the looks of it or anything. The wing is clearly not the MS wing and the front bumper is a replica. It's hard to tell if you have any of the parts like intake and suspension parts.

Not hating, just a bit of a pet peeve.

Vid quality is cool, I will agree that maybe should have shown less of the car to make it more mysterious. Otherwise pretty fancy.

Question: The sound of the car not rotary like???

jasonrxeight

is it me or the car engine in the end sound like a v8?

I thought the same thing, but wasn't sure and didn't listen to it a second time... about to listen again. It could just be an interesting exhaust set up, but it did catch my attention as well.

yeh man... the grille told us... that it's definitely a replica...

plain ole wanker

I would have to agree with you guys that sounded awful deep throat-ed with no high pitch at higher rev point.

P.S. I like how the OP acted like this was something new that only he knew about.

The Audi S4 video was awesome, except "The Function" section ended too quickly!

What video editing software do you use?

Maybe this is what the video was really focused on, and the rx8 was used as an example. The camera angles and smooth picture quality was great.

Has a Top Gear car review feel to it. I like where your going with this, lets see the final product!

And some tips on the photos, that last shot, maybe photoshop that pillar out of the way? I think that pillar draws way to much attention. I love that first shot though, the reflection is a good idea that I'll be borrowing =D
