Looking on the bright side, that cast will mean you have a super steady hand for taking the movie shots.

That is a shame, they look properly mental!
That sounds like a plan.....
You'd better be, any osmosis?
They look good, thanks for collecting them Gary. That's another
I owe you!
That's aweful news....I suggest the Dr knocks you up a robotic arm in his garage made out of old Skyline parts!
Have trailer, can travel !

Stick to this forecast and don't look at the BBC forecast... the BBC are always exaggerating the weather in the UK so I hope that's true of Spa too!
For those with experience, given the circuit looks like being wet at some point, half worn Bridgestone S02's or 10% worn Yoko AD08's? Copious underpants already packed!!!

Now all I have to figure out is how to collect Betty and get her home.

Let's hope some rain and temperature moves into Belgium quick....a trackday due to be held there this Saturday (16th) has just been cancelled by the circuit because of snow.

For those filming/ contributing footage to the SPA13 video.
I believe with your collective footage we can create something very special. Having many of us involved will mean a wonderful collaboration and the finished film will have your creative stamps all over it. It'll truly be your film when complete.
Settings,
The general census is to keep the image as 'flat' as possible, this means dulling down contrast, colours, sharpening etc all the way down.
This allows us to work with a flat image when it comes to grading and colour correction. Which will give the best results.
I'm with my editor this week and will be going over the best camera settings to apply for GoPros etc.
1080P at max FPS/ frame rate.
Download,
I will have a small laptop + hard drive on me at the track and hotel to download all the kindly donated footage on the fly.
Edit,
This year the film will go through professional post production.
Filming,
We will undoubtably have lots of track footage. Where we would be lacking is in having other shots to brake away from track footage for the film. Having 10 people film the exact same shot from a suction cup through the windscreen on track won't be interesting.
To that effect, please film everywhere. Anything you think interesting.... in the pits, on the motorway, people, scenery, on the train/ ferry, when the cars are parked up, close up of badges, wheels, interiors, engine bays etc.
Keep your shots simple & steady. No fancy or big movements to avoid rolling shutter effect etc. The simpler the shot, the better it will turn out in the edit.
The trick is diversity, a steady hand, simplicity and quantity of footage.
cheers
Simon
