I'm SO annoyed!!!

longlivethez · 12-31-2017, 01:09 AM

I'm trying to follow up my exhaust and MAF tubes videos with a video about my Swift Spec-R springs and no joke...I've gone out THREE TIMES now to get footage and I'm having such a time with it...lol Who wants to watch a video about sport springs with footage of a Z stuck behind a minivan?

No one.

lol

It's crazy, but I'm really starting to think South Mountain is the most popular place on the friggin planet this time of year.

But I'll get it done. And it will be epic.

LOL... I’m waiting for this one

Meeting at Los Dos Molinos between 4 and 4:30 Friday (January 12th) afternoon to cruise up South Mountain. I'll have my DJI Inspire 1 in the air grabbing footage (finally) for this video. If you're in the Phoenix area and you'd like to come out, all are welcome!!

Hotrodz · 01-10-2018, 05:11 PM

LMAO, this time of year in Phoenix that what you will get...a bunch of blue hairs from Minnesota and Wisconsin out for a Sunday drive! And be the way every day is Sunday for them!

Great restaurant! I will be in town but I will be hanging out at USM Tuning in Mesa. It's dyno day fun for AZ NASA TA, TT and Race Groups. Way more fun than 15 mph runs up the hill to South Mountain! Stop buy and say hi. I won't have my Z, no need to tow it down since I know I will be in the unlimited class lol!

One day! Sounds like a great time, but I have work until 4, then I want to get this video shot (finally) and I can't push this to Saturday as I'm on the track all day on Saturday. So...yea...one day!

And...I WILL stand in the street and block traffic to get the shots I want. I am NOT afraid to anger said blue-hairs. lololol

...God they're slow...lol

longlivethez · 01-15-2018, 01:17 AM

I FINALLY got the footage I wanted. VIDEO INBOUND!! :-D

longlivethez · 01-23-2018, 08:49 AM

After finally getting the aerial video done (it looks SICK...but boy, was that an adventure...lol), I mounted the camera up and went back up the mountain to do my talky part...

Got home...the damn lapel mic died two seconds into the video...

"No prob, come here, Amazon Prime."

The new lapel mic, I swear, didn't work...I just...I couldn't believe it...

So I sent that one back, bought FOUR MORE to make SURE I could get this done and now I can't drive the car because I need an alignment.

I swear, the Gods do not want me to get this video done. lol This has been insane...rofl

Went again week before last and the mountain was closed for a "silent Sunday"...where they don't allow any cars up the mountain, only bicycles...

Then this weekend, my car was in the shop getting a weather strip replaced on the convertible top.

Again...this is insane. lol

But yea, I'll put up a little clip later tonight for everyone.

longlivethez · 02-06-2018, 01:18 PM

I made a little teaser vid a while back to show the guys that helped me out on the shoot and I'm not sure where it went. I'll have to find it and re-upload it...but I'm going to try (AGAIN!) to get the video done this Friday or Saturday. So, whichever happens first. lol

Thanks for the encouragement, everyone...lol I'll get it done!

Eeeeeeeeeeexactly.

Er...well...actually, if I were a big studio, I just would have bought the mountain for a couple days and been done forever ago...that's what budget does. lol

...but...

...yup, this sort of thing IS super common. lol

longlivethez · 02-08-2018, 02:56 PM

FINALLY it is done. I ran into TONS of issues along the way making this video, as you all know, but I think it came out pretty awesome. Let me know what you think!
