I'd always wanted to make a video like this and I finally got the time to do it with the long weekend recently.


It's bloody difficult. Now I know I never want to be a video editor

Very nice indeed. How did you get the guy to hang from the side of the car? Velcro or duct tape?

Nice, you need to smoke it a bit for it to be a proper vid

About a mile from my house. A road that connects a few villages that doesn't see much traffic, so I knew I could dick around and not bother anyone.

I'd need moody filters and clouds going backwards too. I went as far as I could with my level of skill and equipment. I'm pleased enough and did it as well as I could hope for

+1 I couldn't stop looking for it each time the passenger door side view came back!! I like the video too, it was creative, with a bit more "Polish" it could be more like Top Gear!!

Cool video, but, where are the exploding Caravans?

Looking good! Not my style of music, but the video is looking really good. I know that filming/editing can be a B*TCH!
