I'm going for a cruise today and I am going to film Mulholland Drive! But,.. here is the question. I am not sure if I am going to have enough time to film the whole thing today. I am planning on breaking it into a few sections. My starting point is the 405, which splits from the touristy stuff like universal studios overlook, OR I can go the other way and hit the mountain ridges.

You decide! what do you want to see first?

This was the weirdest trip ever. So I did go to the mountains, however 7 miles of the road is no longer in service and you cannot drive on it. When I hit the other side it started to rain and the city was foggy. It's rained twice in almost a year here. I'd like to post the video, but let me look at it first, if it's crappy, I'll wait till a sunny day and redo it.

Here's a good read about racing on Mulholland and about a customized 911.

Those are some awesome links! I remember reading about the chop top RSR in the day and actually had the magazine that the group picture of the covert guys near Grandstand was in. good memories, I grew up on the wrong coast.

The day just got weirder. went to transfer the 16GB of high Def to my computer and their was a glitch and lost the files. Ohh well, I was going to do it on a more sunny day anyway. Yesterday was a freak day anyway.

[ThomasJoseph315]

The sky is sunny and the temps are nice! Time for round 2!

[ThomasJoseph315]

Went and re filmed, it's a short 6ish min edited down from 35 mins to keep it interesting. I got most of it edited, but I got to wait for the ok for the guy to use his music in the background. should be up soon!

[!tom]

Do you have to add music to the background?

Yes car video + music = boring (since we'll have to turn off the sound). Would much rather hear the engine noise. Just an opinion.

:/ I dunno,.. i just posted that I would post the raw video, but to be honest the audio is kinda meh,.. The camera used was a DLSR with an internal mic and there is a lot of clicking, and background noises. I would say just enjoy the 6 min one for now and when I get better equipment to mic the engine and exhaust separately I'll go back. If your really hard on for the raw video, I'll post a private link after a few days of the original online for the purists.

I wanna do this new channel the best I can with what equipment I can. Posting a long 35min+ unedited video won't attract a lot of people I think, especially when the audio kinda sucks.

Baby steps guys, I'll get there

[Joes924Racer]

This whole post is kind of weird or it could just b me. I'll have to think bout it a few days.
Post the video already.
