Default Honda Civic Si at Presentation of Mary Video

Hey everyone!

I made another video last week and just finished up editing it. I tried out my new steady cam for the first time. its hard to balance it but I just need to practice more. I filmed it at a local private school. I really liked the scenery and felt the music went well with it. I know there needs to be more movement but its hard with just me. Let me know what you think. Please leave comments if there is anything you like or dislike. Also please like the video if you do like it! Thanks a lot!

Video:

Decent music but it made me think too much of Christmas.

Shake camera work, I can tell when the camera man/woman stumbled or was unsure of the terrain behind them.

The back drop, fall/winter is a good time to wear black but not shoot black. Look at most movies now days, you won't see the primary character wearing black and everyone else around them wearing dark colors. Cinematically speaking it'll look better in lighter colors.

Good overall but I can tell someone is just getting started.

The Car

Nice, I love Si's.

Lower it more, change the color of the rims, have it washed and waxed before you decide to get creative next time. The hazard lights where a good fit. Projector headlights aren't cool anymore.



You did a good job. I'd watch older movies in the future, I understand what you were going for but couldn't focus due to some minor inconsistencies. Keep up the good work.

Nicely done! Very fargo'esque music...

Those are some large cracks in the rear rotors at 1:23, replace ASAP!

I've got no film production related insight to offer but thought it was fun to watch!!
Almost came across kinda spooky in a Tim Burton kinda way.

I can't lower it anymore. My neighborhood has speedbumps My exhaust already hits when I go over the speedbump. I plan on changing the projectors, just haven't had the money.

I agree with most of this... black is a hard color to shoot in the first place. You just get no damn detail and loose so much of the car. Black rims are over played on black and just in general. Overall good attempt. Music not my thing... was a little fairy for me... I think honda I think vtec high rpm and hells yeah... but good job none the less.

Awesome video... I hope you don't mind my positive criticism...

Ok first of all the car:

Black on Black wheels are fine but you should spice it up a little and add maybe red or purple lug nuts. The last week I had my EP3, I had purple wheels and it was really sick on black. I don't have a pic to show you

Projectors if you can get rid of them do it! The oem will make a world difference certainly the 04-05 one's.

Sunroof tilted was a great idea make the EP3 look good!

I would of done another rolling shot in the middle of the video... but over all I think your movement was pretty decent. I like the one where you are in the grass and moving up.
