Le Mans 2006 Video

[Martyn]

Right so firstly, you may remember my video from last year, and I really must apologise for the distribution of the high quality copies that was going to happen, not actually going anywhere. My harddrive that contained the full quality video had a hissy fit and I don't seem to be able to get it back. I still haven't formatted it, in the hope that I may be able to retrieve it!

Anyway, onto 2006!

This video's quite different to last years (well, obviously, I'm not just going to recreate the same video am I?)
It's shorter, quicker, punchier, better edited, but unfortunately not quite as... "epic", and doesn't have as many cars...
It was hard to film stuff that was different to last year's stuff, to try and get an original video, as last year I got nearly 6 hours of footage!

That render is slightly the wrong ratio I think, but I can't fix it quickly, and if I could, I still can't be arsed, you'll have to make do!
I'll fix it next week when I get back from holiday!

And your comments/criticisms are always welcome!

PS, thanks to the T.W.A.T.S for all the stickers, that was great fun!

Quality. As for your drive, take it out and try putting it into someone elses computer as a second drive. If it still works, you'll get all your stuff off it. I've done this a few times and its saved my bacon.

Also nice site as well mate.

Another "Well done" Martyn, although less than 3 weeks have passed, your film brings back good memories of LM 2006.

Nice video, tells the story like it is! Good info for virgins to grasp the atmosphere at Le Mans

[Matt Harper]

Very creative, atmospheric and amusing - you are a talented editor and really have projected the fun of the event - music made it even better - congratulations.
I didn't care much for the sticker lark, though. Call me a sour-puss, but I feel that gobbing that crap onto people's cars (presumably without their agreement) is not right - and would have been met with an unpleasant response, had it happened to me. Apologies to Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction, "You don't f*ck with another guys wheels, it's plain wrong". This may be a slight mis-quote, but the sentiment is plain.
Otherwise - really, really good.

Great video guys, still enjoy watching last year one you made. Didn't go this year , but man, what happened to the weather over there, not a bit like last year.
  God do I miss those cars, the smells, the girls, the BEER

[smokie]

Good Stuff, thanks.

...but man, what happened to the weather over there, not a bit like last year.
   

Only rained on the Wednesday, just like last year.

On monday it was 34.5 degrees, cooled down a bit on tues, wed was the wet day, then warmed up again to 32 on Sunday.

So not a great deal different from last year.

Great video! The 'classic' Le Mans start was genius.

Nice Avatar Rich - good to see you active!


Martyn, your video is as excellent as last year, but don't be a twaite.

[ricardo-T]

Hi Dave - my Avatar appeared a little larger than I had planned! However, it pretty much sums up our motor race 'experiences' over the years...
