Hey everyone! My husband and I have been working on a You Tube channel, updating it every week. I just wanted to post a couple of our MINI/Car vids for you guys to check out.

Lots of people in the EMRT forum have already been exposed to it and I just want to thank everyone who has seen them for watching.

Every time we have a new car or MINI vid, I'll post it here. However, we do update our channel (Jon Merkel Films) every week if you're interested in seeing what we do.

We'd love some feedback to if you have any comments. Thanks!

Enjoy!

Cool videos!! What camera did you use ?

I get quite good results (cinematographic style) with my Nikon D7000

Do you mind if I share your videos with my spanish friends?

Muchas gracias !

We currently shoot with the Canon 5D MarkII. I plan to get the 7D soon. DSLRs are definitely the way to go!

Share them with whomever you like! Thanks. How do you like the 7000?

I knew you were using a DSLR !! A friend of mine is also working with a 7D and results are awesome...

I prefer Nikon D7000. I'm even doing some short films with my camera so you can imagine the quality of images...

I'll send you a PM with the link of your video on my website in Spain! Many thanks!

Hey Interceptor! Thanks for sharing our video! I'll be able to check it out when I get home from work. Unfortunately, they block most websites here. I'm lucky to be able to use NAM!

That will give me something to look forward to. Do you have your own videos on your website?

Here's a new video. Pay no mind to the horrible hostess. I'm not a fan of being in front of camera.

Again, we update every week but I will only post car or MINI related vids here on NAM. Our You Tube Channel is Jon Merkel Films.

Cool one and wonderful performance of the main actress...!!

I published all 3 videos on my website and there are some good comments about "good vibrations" and "summer feelings"

We are re-uploading videos to our youtube channel so now we just have 3 videos recorded with 3 different cameras so you will see the difference if you want to take a look.

- The one with the Harleys is done with the Nikon D7000

- The onboard MINI Challenge video is recorded with a G11

- The MINI United video was done with a JVC HD6

Our channel: http://www.youtube.com/thecomminity

No color correction and easy edit with iMovie. Next videos will be edited with Final Cut Pro...

Here is the link: http://youtu.be/mYTteNhQ5Nw

I was things about getting a GoPro, but now thinking about getting a hand held camcorder. Since iut will be more usefully. Just would have to figure out how to mount it inside.
This video was just made with my friends Flip. Hope you like it.

Here's my weekend video. MINI Challenge @ Los Arcos Circuit in Navarra.

Shot with Nikon D7000 and quickly edited using all my bad taste with iMovie.

Hope you like it.

On the same thread you'll find some interesting pictures of that weekend, including a guided visit to a private vineyard, our house in the middle of nowhere and the GT Championship. :-)

Hey CZ! Looks like you guys found some awesome roads! I need to find some new ones. All the cops in the area know my car now.

Interceptor! That was a great vid! I felt like I was watching ESPN!

Like I said, I'll post all car related stuff we do. So here's the latest car show we did last week. It was Vette week.

Awesome video. It almost made me cry...

In Spain we don't have those fantastic car brands, only SEAT Automobiles, but it doesn't have that historic feeling.

A big applause.

I know it's been a while. Sorry guys. We're videoing every week but sometimes the car stuff doesn't present itself every week. Here's another!

Thanks for all your kind words, by the way.
