Try a polarized filter for the sun.

Also noted that when the sunglare was gone in the shade that the auto focus must and been on. Shot lots of film my self to discover that one.

Try manually focusing the camera on an object beyond the windshield. The auto focus picks up on the windshield.

Also I used a device call a Sticky pod that mounts the camera right to the side or top of the car or any where you can imangine.

Great looking Mini.

The camera angles were good and the music was perfect for the piece. The glare was the only negative. Love that road though. Keep em comming:smile:

Very nice job!

Just a couple of questions.

1.) The music track was perfect, but don't chop it at the very end!!! Fade it out, or slide the whole audio track so that the end of your video ends with the music. :smile:

2.) I would add an ND filter to the camera to reduce the amount of incoming light. A polarizing filter MIGHT work, but an ND will probably do it better. You might also set it to manual exposure---i.e. turn auto Iris off if possible, and preset the iris to properly expose the road, and let the interior be dark.

3.) Did you shoot this by yourself? I can't imagine the number of setups you would need to drive, then change camera positions along this road. The pacing and flow were very well done.

Good work!!!

Richard

I just watched "the man who knew too little" so this video is cracking me up right now, I had totally forgotten that there is a mini chase scene in that movie. Your video feels like this dramatic build up to something in a movie, but the build up just keeps going and going, don't get me wrong, great video, its just striking me as funny right now.
