Yep, thats right! I'm going to make a movie this year! Not some crappy 10 minutes of video here! So take your video camras, and even picture cameras, and give me all of your footage! I really want to do something very cool this year, and will plan on making it onto DVD's for 2gnt members. I will prob charge a small amount for it, and half of the procedes will go directly to help fund 2gnt.(the rest to cover the IMMENSE time to do this, and also the actual DVD's). I won't have enough bandwidth to host the video(will be rather large), but if someone can do it, that may work also. So weather you get footage of a caravan, partying it up in the hotel rooms, and the actual races, cars, and whatnot, send it to me! You can even give it to me at the end of the SO if you wish. This is going to be cool :)You may even get a one on one interview! I have some pretty sweet ideas in my head haha..should be interesting.

good, it is about time some stepped up to the task of making a video. much props to you, i dont have the equipment to do so. btw, where is last years video.....:rolleyes at least this time, the person that is making it cant run off with the footage because he has disowned his 2gnt......i am extremely upset at the fiasco surrounding the 2003 video. i dont even think teamnabr has theres out yet. blah, what slowpokes.

Yeah I was really hoping for a video from last year. I am sure that Matt will come through on this one tho. Even tho I cant contribute to the footage itself, I will definitely contribute some money for a copy or two when this years video is made.

as for last years vid.....Travis, heres to you :puke

Ughh Matt ... you have no idea what you have just gotten yourself into ... my little 30 minute short from last year took a good day to make and I only had 2 hours of uneditted footage. Also, I had to leave my computer on a few nights to encode and decode video from various formats. Anyways, I've gotten pretty good at this stuff as of late so if you need a hand I can help out if necessary.

Haha yeah, i have been doing some video work on the computer for some time now, and it def does take lots of time to do. Hopfully my newly built comp will do it a bit faster :) Several people have already offered to contribute to the task, who live fairly close to me, so it should be one bad assss video! I expect it to take a good month or two for a final product. Its a lot of time and effort, but it will be worth the wait. I'm already geeked!! haha

you live near him....go get the videos! :-)

We'll be making some footage on the way there from Phoenix. We've already began talking about bringing a camera or two. :P

Also, someone might want to mention the Shootout to a Magazine or something. Maybe they will mention it or follow along? /end wishful thinking

im all for buying a vid since i WILL be there this year!

coolness matt. if you need help just give me a holler. ill be taking my video camera again this year, so we can get different angled shots of the same things.

that's the shit Matt...maybe you'll even get a shot of me and/or booger in it :thumbsup. I'll have to see if I can get my hands on a vid camera. I just reserved my room for 2 nights. I'm uber excited and the stinking thing is 8 months away...LMAO

Hell yeah man, ETX and you have volunteered to give a hand at authoring this beast of a movie!

I will be taking actual pictures too, of anything and everything. It's not going to be limited to video..yeah, its going to be cool..And I promise, I wont use the song "Somewhere I belong" by Linkin Park, anywhere in the video hahaah..

Hey matt, Im more than willing to help if you need as well! I got a digi cam, and am sure I can get my hands on a video cam, But if tehres anything else I can do, please let me know!

i wanna be a part of this video, and have my name in the credits damn it!!!

i don't have a digital camera, but if you can convert it, i'll be sure to take a lot of video.

could menus for the DVD's be designed in photoshop? that would be cool as hell if I could do that.

I work in television. Do you have any concept what this will really take to make it good? I have contemplated it at well, but with the time and money involved I just can't devote myself to it.

If you need pointers or would like small portions edited let me know. My best work is with heavy metal, hot chicks, and fire....so it is applicable here :)

Yeah, I dont plan on doing this in a week or two. It will prob take a few months of work to get it where I want it. I really don't mind though, keeps me busy, and I really like doing video work. The outcome should be well worth the effort, and in the meantime, helping support 2gnt.

Sure, that would be cool. I'm pretty sure I can import something like that to the authoring software..I'll be taking any kind of video on any kind of media. I'll take care of all the format conversions and the like. I also want still pictures. I'd really like to get a picture of every single 2gnt'er that goes, preferably by their car if they bring it, and hopefully a final whole group photo of all 2gnt'ers...

hey matt this video is going to be SWEET! haha.

you could have a chapter of the DVD with all the still photos. kinda like some pornos have. lol.

hey.. anyone who wants the raw video can have it.. i tried going through the 6 billion hours of video.. it was rough.. i may still give it another shot... ive got a little more time on my hands.. its no small task

Already have big plans in mind! :) Hint, hint...need every 2gnt'ers picture, who is going to be there :)

I have a box dedicated to video editing and dupein dvd's. I have a 100 spindle around here with full size dvd cases, like the ones actual dvd movies come in. Here at work we have a laser CD printer, but you have to use the printable DVD's which I think we have. So we will be able to pack it up really nice too.

I think the best way to do this is EVERYONE bring a video cam, the more footage the better. It's imposible for 2 or 3 cams to record all the antics going on that weekend. So bring cams, record a lot of shit, and send us the tapes. :7

so is this gonna be more of a candid behind the scenes video of all teh 2gnt peeps partyin down, with a lil bit of racing thrown in...Or is this gon be a racing video with some of our antics thrown in?? Cuz if you want alot of antics i can thrwo all sorts of random stupidity out if i am drunk :D i am gonna have a digi cam and a hi8 camcorder, so i can contribute :thumbsup

Probably nothing! I bet we could get local girls titties all day. I wonder is they even have girls in Norwalk. :shrug

If we send you the tapes will we be able to get them back?

Just curious..

Sorry if this was already answered

Sure, as long as you cover shipping, that works for me..

I'll definitely buy one since I won't be going. At least I can watch the video while I make car sounds and pretend to drive.

I'll pay for the return shipping w/ fedex express. Just give us the tapes at the shootout, 0 out of pocket! :)

Everyone must tape! We will make this the best SO video ever. Three or 4 cameras just can't cover all the crazyness.

I will have my digi cam with me shooting short mpegs of stupidty and my digital vid cam to shoot racing/more stupidity. Might even bring along my other regular video camera...

Never been to norwalk derrek.. So I couldnt tell you if there are nice "local woman" But if there is..:thumbsup


-Chris

I can duplicate the DVD for others, to help speed up the process.
dunno if I can actually go or not

Ill have one if not two friends coming with cameras -- the footage will make it to you. :D
