A trip on board the Thunder Tiger
Hi there, again!<o

<o></o>
I would also like to share my latest RC buggy video with all of you, I think with that one I’m going to surprise you. So far it is my favorite!<o></o>
<o></o>
A trip on board the Thunder Tiger:<o></o>

<o></o>
It’s a voyage on board of a radio control buggy with a camera on board and external camera closely tracking the buggy in motion.<o></o> Different sceneries, different situations, together with certain information shown in head up display gives to the movie some kind of charming adventure. <o></o>
<o></o>
I’d like you tolet me see yourfeedbacks.<o></o>
<o></o>
Kind regards.<o></o>

RE: A trip on board the Thunder Tiger
Thank you!<o></o>
<o></o>
I’m glad you like it. That was the purpose.<o></o>
<o></o>
I made the camera mount by using a couple of aluminum arrows (from those to shoot with bow and arrow) and I joined them with a sort of cross member. Finally the camera support works cool.<o></o>
<o></o>
Now we’re working on the second part to surprise you again.<o></o>
<o></o>
Regards.<o></o>

You seem to cover a lot of ground in some of the scenes - were you driving by eye or by looking at the camera feed?
Really cool - looking forward to the next part!

owever,for the next time or even if some of you are going to do something like that onthe road, I should better recommend you to go to the police station and askthem for permission to do it, rather than just filming scenes as we did. If itis a quiet zone I think they will let you make the film.

RE: A trip on board the Thunder Tiger
Thank you. It was not easy to film the road scenes. I can tell some anecdotes during the film making. Even with the police!. I would say more correctly with the neighbors! As we had the car plates hidden some of them thought it was asuspicious car. The neighbors called the police even with our cameras andtripod showing up. So, minutes later the police car came over very fast andstopped us suddenly. But it wasn’t as serious as it got, because after weidentified and explained all that was about they gave us two hours ofpermission to finish the film making. Perhaps because I have no fines and thecar was in order we did not have to deal with any trouble.

Its cool that the cops understood you were just having some fun and not hurting anything and gave you permission to continue.

RE: A trip on board the Thunder Tiger
Seriously, well done. How the heck did you get some of those tracking shots??? I saw a shadow of someone holding the vid-cam on a pole, but they certainly weren't running along side the car. Was the cameraman on a moped? A bicycle?
Some of the tracking shots were done with the cameraman in the real car using the camera pole, yeah?
Brilliant editing. What did you use for the editing and rendering?

RE: A trip on board the Thunder Tiger
To make these closed tracking I did not use another RC car (I’dhave loved to have another one). I had a volunteer friend riding on a bicyclewith the camera fitted low using another camera support that I made myself whenriding on mountainbike. During the road scenes, yeah I used a camera mount that I fitted on the car.
To make the edittion work I chose Magic de Luxe video editing program.
I’m glad you liked it. I hope to improve nextfilm with ideas that I’ve never seen before.
Thank you for watching.

I wouldlike to get some advice about purchasing a FPV system (first person view). Iwould like to creat more vids like these using this system adapted in my buggy.
Any of youis using a FPV system? Can you recommend some a FPV system?
Thank you.
