Howdy! I know most of the postings in here seem to be Wedding videos (and great ones) but I have an Event video to post.

Here's my coverage of the 2008 Cleveland Auto-Rama custom car show.

Canon XH-A1, w/ WD-H72 wide-angle convertor for handheld shots.

VIVIDRGB preset.

Premier Elements.

And my company is sending me out to cover the JC Whitney Hot Rod show next weekend, so please drop me any feedback that might help me step up my game.

Thanks!
Will

Nice video (even though the music isn't my style :-) ).

Some things I noticed:

- Several of the moving camera shots are a bit shaky. Maybe use a steady/glidecam?
- The detail shots are great of course, but you might throw in an overview shot or two more not to get your viewers too confused of what they look at.

good luck

Definitely. I've come to realize that I didn't get enough shots that show a whole car, or multiple whole cars. I have a lot of close, detailed stuff and need to get some full-coverage shots of the vehicles.

Thanks for the notes. I've got another big show I'm shooting this weekend.
