Wow thanks to all for the comments and suggestions on my vid, it has given me some great ideas for my next one.
This vid has been my first attempt at a promo vid, all my other videos have been drift mantages to music, hence the style of this one following teh same direction.
The suggestion for voice overs is a real good one, we were looking at doing this but just ran outa time, time became a problem also when we needed more pics of simo's car, i wanted to get some suspension shots etc to show the time and effort put into the car, but yeah, time was a problem.
Either way i am rather pleased with teh result for a first try. It has sparked a bit of interest among prospective sponsors which is what we were going for obviously.
For a bigger better video I would like to have a lot more time to do it, and maybe some money this time as this one was dne purely as a favour to simon as i believe he should have had a sponsor a long time ago and has had some bad luck in the past, anything to help promote drift in australia too. First i just have to learn how to use some better video editing programs... guess what i used to make this vid... LMAO... u will piss yaselves... i used Windows Movie Maker BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yes i know its well lame, but it did the job for a rush made video and its what i am used to using for my other vids.
But yeah, thanks heaps for all teh suggestions, they are much appreciated and i'll remember them for next time, a mate has gotten me a video editor called vegas 5 or something like that, you guys know of this?? or any other suggestions for better editors???
thanks again
Aussie

I'll try and find a few of the example videos for the Porsche Carrera Cup and ARC Australian Rally Championshipo I have somewhere here.
Remember - Less is more..
If you must have text up on the screen - make it point form, and related to what is being said by the voice over to re-inforce what is being said etc..
For example, in the ARC video, The voice over says something along the lines of..
"Rallying in Australia is becoming big business, recent crowd survey figures show that X% of the spectators are aged between X and Y years old (as the text X - Y years old flashes up), they have houshold incomes of $XXX,XXXpa (as "average household income of $XXX,XXX flashes up for a few seconds etc) and gross spending of Rally related merchandise such as Shirts, caps and Jackets averages over $XXX,XXX for every round (as the text "$XXX,XXX spent on merchandise every round).... you get the idea...
Speak to the promotors of these events - get the gate numbers, do some ground work and get the figures for the sport.
