Default Newbie with 996 C4S Video

Hi all

I am new to the forum and a newbie to Porsche 996 C4S ownership

While researching the C4S that I bought, I found very few good videos on the web and none from Porsche.

My son and I got together, he does the filming and editing basically everything and
I did the driving and supplies.

Please have a look at the video and give feedback, its on my Cardomain page ( i dont know how to insert Youtube into post )

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3365599

In a Music version and then there is also a No music Rough Cut with Porsche sound unfiltered

If you have time read the text on page 3 for Porschephiles it is rewarding !!

Regards

Sigfus

WOW - I WANT ONE !!!!

Sexy Vid ! (err.... NICE vid) Awesome eye, great shots and the composition was well executed. Cutting from stills to moving and back, the unique angles of the back window and side while driving... very very creative - You should be proud !

Welcome to RL... when i get to Texas, will he make a vid of my car (I am going to see Tim who really needs a weekend )

NOW - its only fair I add some room for improvement - when the song stops, right before it kicks back in hard... a nice throaty exhaust note would have set the tone for the rest of the song.....

Still - I have never seen a vid so good so my hats off to you and your son for that piece of art!!

Hi

Thank you for the warm welcome !!

I am very proud of my son it looks like I have a real Spielberg on my hands, he is now working on a new C4S music video.

On my wishlist is doing a Phase II exhaust mod on the C4S to get some more sound as the standard mufflers are pretty quiet.

Best regards

p.s. Can someone send me info on how to insert Youtube videos into posts

p.p.s. Pumkins ??????????

Nice car, great pics, nice introduction.

Pumkins refer to the orange side markers, folks swap them out with clear ones.

Enjoy...

hmmm Iceland....

they have beer there?

to insert youtubedo these without spaces all in one string

[ y t ] (Video Number) [ / y t ]
in order to see the video number there are two ways of getting it. Sometimes on the address bar, sometimes you have the "right click" on the page and hit properties - then see the address URL
youtube vids are a stirng of numbers after the word "watch/v=" till the "&feature"

in your vid (I removed some of the stuff so it would show up on the page)

"youtube.xxx/watch?v=Ec_Eg1uDH_4&eurl=http%3A%2F%"

the number is Ec_Eg1uDH_4
insert that between the things I showed up top and your done... Simple after you do it once

Damn, damn, DAMN!!!

I haven't been able to yell at a Newbie in 3 or 4 weeks because they are posting pics early in the process. Now we have one that posts a Vid! Damn, Newbies!



'Speed, Welcome to Rennlist and congrats on getting a very sweet l@@king C4S. BTW, thanks for posting the @#$%^&* vid! Man, that phrase is so adaptable!!!

I feel better now!
