Hope you will enjoy it as much as me doing it.

Be indulgent, this is my first video...

Haha nice one! Good song choice too. Brings back memories.

 

Thanks Alex,

Do not hesitate to comment to help me improve
I am thinking about same kind of videos mixing real footage, songs from the time and in-game videos and images for our legendary cars, both in AC and in Pcars.
I need to change the video editing tool too, Windows Essential is quite limited...

 

I'll be making my tribute probably after v1 when the sounds are improved, but great job on that especially in the beginning how you tied it over until now, I would have liked maybe 20-30% more engine sound in that, but that's a personal thing I just felt the music was overwhelming it at times.
I have always admired this car, from a child, and loved the look of it. When I heard Kunos would have it, I told myself the day it was released with the F40 I would buy it, and when they released it in like the 2nd update, I had to click buy. Even though my sim-gear was in storage and I was in the middle of movving, and I had no chance to race with anything but the keyboard, I bought it; so I could check it out, and to get the fire under my butt to get everything setup after I had moved.
Now a month and a half after moving and playing, it's still my favorite car to drive and I thank Kunos so much for bringing us this car, I wanted this car more than any other in the sim racing world, and I still have not got bored driving it, or looking at it, if anything I admire it more each time.

 

Agree about music too much overwhelming at times but I could not tune down the music per sequence only overall with windows movie maker, I was only able to play with the sound from the video. So music is at same volume all along the video which is not good for sure...
My first physical approach of the F40 was at a gas station on the motor way some time in the end of the 90's, it was such a shock to see the beast and the engine through the plexiglass back cover that I still remember it as if it was yesterday.

 

Something that is super important to me personally when making videos with music is that the editing is always tied to the music. So when scenes shift (go from one scene to another) its either on beat or just between.

Also, use the music intelligent (or harmonious ((is it a word? lol))) so when things are more intense then i use more intense video footage, and when it slows down or some part of the music where drums/singing etc disapear i use somthing calmer etc etc.

This info is not related directly to your video, just my personal style, and maybe it can give you ideas.

 

Great video Love the song you chosen.

F-40. To me personally is the best car that graced the world. Focused on its purpose and pure.

 

Haha... nice video and at first I thought it is Chris De Burgh whole video, not just song. Anyway, there was by the coincidence one beauty long ago and it was by all means comparable to the another one, F40... that good she was.
And it was whole package, one with the other. Many heads was turning that day. I never ever later in my life seen something so beautiful and grace. And that's go for both of them

Thanks!
