A day out in Bnaider
Took my Tamiya FJ out rock crawling with some friends today in Bnaider. The weather was good and the location was perfect for our cars. I shot some video which I am going to edit and upload later but here are a few pictures for now.
Update: Here is the video.
The YouTube version is [Here]

man I love the articulation of those axles! hows the video editing coming along ?
6. Mark | October 16th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
I am trying to do something proper and its time consuming. Usually I just slap clips after each other but I am trying to step up my game a bit this time :)
7. Mathai | October 16th, 2009 at 10:55 pm

11. Realist | October 16th, 2009 at 11:42 pm
Which is better, electric or gas powered ?
12. Holla | October 17th, 2009 at 12:40 am
You need to take shots with that technique used for model cars to make them seem like they have the real proportion and size.
13. ninesixfive | October 17th, 2009 at 2:12 am
thats not a “toyota” fj right?
14. Mark | October 17th, 2009 at 2:14 am

15. ninesixfive | October 17th, 2009 at 4:07 am

20. Pyyth4 | October 17th, 2009 at 10:14 am
o and which song is it in the video ? i like the angles at which you shot the video, which camera did you use?
21. YaCCo | October 17th, 2009 at 10:19 am
Video is just PRO!
FJ looks awesome. We all know, you had major problems with that project, but for sure the work is done and the result is absolutely fabulous.
Already next project on the table?

Pyyth4: I used my D90 to shoot the video in full HD
24. Burhan | October 17th, 2009 at 10:38 am
Does the car have rear wheel turning as well? Looks like it from the video.
25. Mark | October 17th, 2009 at 10:39 am
Yeah its got 4 wheel steering. It was a last minute thing I added. It was first just regular front wheel steering but because I locked the differentials the turning radius became horrible so I installed rear steering as well to bring the turning radius back down.
26. Pyyth4 | October 17th, 2009 at 11:11 am
lol I can’t stop watching the HD one…
27. Mark | October 17th, 2009 at 11:17 am
thats good to know. It was my first experience shooting and editing a video like this. Should be better next time and maybe include more cars. I have total respect for directors and editors, their job is very challenging.
28. Pyyth4 | October 17th, 2009 at 11:40 am
the best part is the feel that it’s quite big
and the song
if you added some slow-mo’s of the wheels spinning, or the FJ closing in towards the camera, then it would have been even greater….sort of matches the song too.
29. Mathai | October 17th, 2009 at 11:43 am
Whoa! awesome stuff ! nice editing and great soundtrack!
I’m hungry for more Mr. Director :)
30. frankom | October 17th, 2009 at 12:19 pm

Watching this is so boring, but I am positive that controlling it is way more fun.
