Phenomenal.

* these cameras were provided free of charge. No payment has been received by me at any time.

This footage however, blew me away. Wait for it!

Major changes are few- removed some of my more boring to camera pieces and added the Google Earth data per a request from my late Godfather Greg Armstrong who noted it was confusing.

Enjoy!

Daniel was a local lad who was killed in an industrial accident back in March. Mad keen HRT fan, he’d met GT in ’09 and asked the 2007 V8 Supercar champion to sign his car’s air intake.
I was asked to create a tribute video and decided it would work best as a bookend to our weekend.
Here it is- it’s the last few minutes.

Last Saturday morning, Paul was killed after a race crash at Eastern Creek.

I decided to publish this practice interview with Paul as Dieter took a few tangents and I think we get some insightful moments.

Race in Peace Paul.

I’ll be putting the social in their media, the viral in their videos, the it in their Twitter and when the situation calls for it, Superchargers in their Commodores (ok, perhaps not).

So… Check out:

Speaking of YouTube- here’s the first video I shot and edited for WP:

I uploaded this complete with a mashup and they immediately warned me that I was in breach of something or other. I am sure the soundtrack will be removed soon.
Wouldn’t it be better to have an ad for the song in question with a link through to iTunes to buy it? That’s a business model. Honestly, the sooner the record companies all go broke, the better. They absolutely deserve it.

Anyway. Robbie Maddison at Albert Park, jumping over the main sign:

DO check it out in HD here.

And this little vid. I felw down to Burnie, Tasmania in a lil Saab turboprop 30 seater. I pulled ou the new Panasonic FT1- a hand held point and shoot that has a movie mode- and shoots in HD. The results are pretty pleasing:

Also worth checking out in HD
