Comments:

This is a project for my documentary filmmaking class, to finish up my last quarter of school for my BA.

After a couple of bigass revisions due to how I wanted to pursue this project, the following is the product of about 8-10 weeks of school work. Some of the reasons for the revisions included restrictions put on by the faculty of my program regarding the use of copyrighted music (we couldn't use more than 30 sec. of a song, without the artists' permission), etc.

Halfway through the project, I started realizing that there was the video I wanted to make, and there's the video I needed to make for school. I tried to make it as inclusive as I could to a general audience, without having to resort to the drawing board and having to explain wtf drifting actually is.

I dunno. Personally, I like how the project turned out...I learned a **** ton of a lot, since this was basically the first time I did any real type of editing. Future edits will definitely have more drifty, and less talky, though. And more skate-video-esque.



Ah, **** it.





Enjoy, *******.

dude that is really good. i used to not even like drifting, and that just pushed me a little to the dark side..

 

light is your friend :-D

 

hmmm hey how often do you go to drift office??? i have been there a few times when people where just chill there at night, i am just woundering if i have seen you. anyways good video what grade did you get????

 

^^ look for the guy in the shiny red sparkly rx7-truck haha

 

very nice vid.

 

matts comments always crack me up, why no interveiw with big fat russian with s13? sad day, me thinks more people need to be interveiwed..im sure nickolay has much to say.

 

I liked it. Way to short though, I was hoping for a free full length drift movie. Oh well, the pop corn was great.

 

yaaaaes... eetz vaaayda niiise.

 

sick earrl!

 

yah man! i really liked it, i loved how u did an interview with all ur buds that travel to all the events just for the hell of it. it didnt remind me of a skate video cuz a skate video just has music and editing to the music. this is of a much higher quality, it was like a documentary. it killed man, u should make it in to a full length feature film that starts back when u first started to like where the scene is going or has gone, like the next few years show how much its progressed or changed. thats just what i think would be badass, do what u want man but keep up the good work.

 

does drift office have a website? SUPER SICK video...I used to street drift when I had my 240...part of the reason I dont have it anymore...I want to take it to evergreen when I get a chance, how much to participate? What do you need?

 

wow its really cool seeing a video with the guys from drift office drifting their cars. i mean i live 10 minutes away driving distance from the shop. but ive never got to see any of them drift. so awsome.

 

I get excited when I throw down a good autox time...


Seriously, great vid. You put alot of work into that and it shows!!
