Here is a video I shot of my new 2008 Honda Fit in Dallas a few weeks ago. I had to make a 30 second car commercial for a video class.

Let me know what you think!

oo

 

Sick dude!
You did a great job putting that together.
Plus Rep!

 

uh. bro. sick

 

tight vid. + rep

 

good job!!!! pretty sick video!

 

Thanks very much for the compliments! I have a pretty cool series of pictures I took of the FIT as well that I'll try to post.

My friend had a really nice sunroof installed on his FIT that looks amazing. He paid $800 total but that included everything including the dash mounted controls for opening/closing etc. Is this a popular feature upgrade for the FIT?

 

A+++++++++++

 

That was a really nice vid...
Looked like a HONDA VIDEO.... to bad they came out with new models... u could have submitted this vid to them! :-)

 

That's what my teacher said. He suggested I send it in to Honda and see what they say.....I doubt they'd be interested as it doesn't showcase a lot of the interior of the car. But thanks for the compliment! I really appreciate it. I got an A on the assignment. ;-)

 

you should have earned an A+

extra credit for you!

 

Amazing work, it definitely looks professional und would be suitable for TV. Thumbs up!

 

sweet vid, like others have said, very nicely put together!

 

You deserve your A+ and I think this commercial rocks. If I were your prof I'd send it to an agency and get you some money for it.

 

what program did you use and what camcorder?

 

nice vid

 

Nice video, +1 rep.

 

Very nice job! Makes me want to buy a fit if I didn't already have one!

 

Nice vid and nice camera!

Coming from an visual art's major, I would have liked to see more expression/interaction from the other people in the car, but that's just my critique

What school do you go to in Dallas? Do you know where R.L. Turner is?

 

Thanks! Yes, I know where R.L. Turner is....Carrollton, right? I go to the Art Institute of Dallas. I would have loved to get more expressions from the people and Lord knows I have plenty of pretty awesome footage of the Fit going in and out of 18-wheelers in Dallas but there were specifications on the video:

1. Had to be 30 to 35 seconds long.
2. Had to be a car commercial.
3. Had to have a sports theme.

So, trying to get those specifications into such a short duration made me cut quite a few nice shots of interaction amongst people in the car. Oh well. Maybe I'll put together another video of the extra footage without a danged time limit!

 

I used a Sony HDR-FX1. The driving shots were done with the camera mounted on the back of a truck along with some pretty bright lights which I'm sure ticked off a lot of oncoming cars in Dallas. Oh well! I used Final Cut Pro on my MAC to edit the video together.
