Ways to ruin a car video.

[TypeLT]

Just a rant, I always get feisty when a car movie has:
1. Techno music, or any music for that matter, we want to hear the damn cars.
2. People constantly talking, don't talk constantly, really it's okay to shut up for a couple seconds.
3. Wind noise.

Ok thats all :) Can anyone think of anything else?

Well.....there's always an annoying hick accent, or some Nordic language (no offence Brembo)...or any language that you can't understand and it's spoken throughout the video. That always ruins the fun.

lol ^^^ the easiest way to ruin a video is by a crapy camera man

Not pushing the car to the max. Nobody wants to see a sunday drive

[stracing]

i have to go with shitty music and no engine sound

[nthfinity]

worst in my opinion
1 crappy camera
2 shitty job driving
3 music (except of the video called late for work)
4 not knowing what the car is by some visual cue
5 excessive talking, unless you are Tiff, then its purposeful
6 stupid cars being videotaped
7 only one style of view available, eg in car street racing
8 crazy ricer co-pilots who like to wear their hats goofy, and flip everybody off because they ... own the ... oh nothing
:roll:

Constant Zooming, Shakey Cameras, Bad Video Compression, too short, American Cars.

I really don't mind much else as long as the content of the video is good, I have a number of video that have terrible production value but the content is just fantastic. Its such a shame to run across these, because they could have been great.

edit: oh yeah forgot about Drag Races too.

And Mihai no offence taken,but dont hate what you cant understand...


I don't hate it. It's just a turn off, that's all. I can't say the same thing for chicks with Northern European accents. Those turn me on.

Crappy camerawork and music/talking is the worst

8) i totally agree with type lt, but the greatest videos have both (car sounds and music) at the same time. Also when they have the time, they sincronize the music with the image.......

Jeremy Clarkson


U must be crazy. Jeremy Clarkson i think is the king of car videos. I heard he has an amazing collection. Even if he tests a crappy car, he makes the video good. Personally I hate it when they play rock music and when the video has a lot of wind noise or when a video is done in the dark.

Wind noise...jeez, wtf is up with people holding the camera outside of the car at 100+mph trying to pick up the sound of another car...that is just stupid.
