A commercial shot with an XL2 (until it croaked on me 800 miles from home...grrr!) and a Panny DVX100B. Motion Gfx created in AE and edited on FCP. Spiced up with Magic Bullet.
Shot at Daytona International Speedway, Volusia Motorsports Park and the University of Northwestern Ohio (where I work).
20 students got to go down and participate on pit crews and bump shoulders with industry professionals. Very cool for them and me!
*UPDATE* This spot (along with two others) have been airing nationally on Fox Sports Net during the reality TV show "Motorsports U" I'm super exited!

Todd, I thought the editing was pretty good and the theme (graphics etc.) was fitting as well. Everything went by so fast, but I suppose that's th enature of commercials.

I think you need to update this video with a higher quality version. This is an SD video so I'd try encoding at about 2500kbps. and see how it goes.

Thanks Shiv for the advice. Yeah, this was definitely meant to be a kick-you-in-the-teeth kinda spot. The hardest part was narrowing down the hour or so of soundbites I had. Once I did that, it all came together.

Looks a bit better.

Yes, I've been in this situation many a times (having to cut down an hour or so down to a minute or 30 seconds). It's an art form! I find it very difficult to do.

Bio

First, I wanted to become a DJ because I love music so much. Then I found out how much money they made (or didn't make would be more accurate). So I went to college and earned a degree in Radio/Television Broadcasting and it truly has become a passion.
