    Hey Gents.. I have this vision of making a professional level video of cruising the streets of Atlanta set to some good music. I would like to pretty much cover most of the iconic streets and areas downtown. More or less a I was thinking of rigging some go pros on some sort of piping(PVC?!) running it through the trunk lid probably be like 3-4 feet above the car, including also shots from the side of the street and dash cameras. Anyone done anything like this or have any input of Go-Pro rigs that are useful? Anyone wanna help?!

    Just throwing out some ideas.. I think a really cool shot would be maybe 3-4 cars cruising down 75 South past Tech with the sun setting. Cut between GO-Pro shots and transition into a shot taken from somebody on the 14th or 17th street bridges to film from above(Or Both?!). Maybe a scene with some boosting down West Paces Ferry in those twisty roads by the Governor's Mansion and some cruising through Buckhead at night.

    good idea, this site needs more community outings besides the usual dinner meet. Now go watch Grand Prix for camera mount ideas. I bet you could get a whole other movie just from the out take footage laying on the editing room floor. Shame that was shot 48 freaking years ago

    I'm in for this. I've got a dslr we can use as well. Maybe for some long exposure shots at night or something. Let me know if you want to make this happen

    I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, don't mount your boom to the windshield... bad things happen

    Boom mic? Why would you do that anyways unless you wanted to record wind noise?

    I am currently going through a nasty separation/custody battle.. I am 100% about making this project happen. I need a few weeks to get my situation under control, then I will be able to start planning and organizing this.

    Sounds like a fun time. I have some experience mounting POV cams to cars for autocross events; see some of the videos here. As you can see some are better than others. One thing I have found is a good quality suction cup mount or the GoPro adhesive mounts work the best (less vibration).

    I have 720P Video and Audio lenses worn in the form of sunglasses that can record in car experience, and I also have a Canon camera, great on burst shot. but GoPro's are the best so far.

    I have a go pro as well. I'm down to mount it up on my car and shoot some videos of some Subies driving around. Whenever we can get a group together sometimes this coming week would be great. When would be a good night for everyone to meet up??

    actually, maybe we could/should brainstorm scouting areas here so we can formulate some fun plans.

    for example, there's this bridge over 400 on Hammond Dr they finished last year I think would be cool for a static drive by night shot.

    maybe throw out some other ideas like that, everyone?

    Sounds like a cluster. Someone needs to step up into a producer roll and call the shots and a small group help plan it. I dont think there is a solid "cast" of people that have committed to being in this project.

    I'd be willing to help but all of my free time is going into getting my car back on the road.
