There's no engine in it. Wouldn't doubt if he was serious.

**Rockefela** · 08-12-2009, 01:53 AM

Awesome stuff Todd, though where's the HD love? We wanna see your pucker in 1080p...

**Egz** · 08-12-2009, 07:50 AM

Needs more Hawaiian shirt!

Nice job Todd! I wish I was able to visit. You definitely need to book time on VIR soon.

**Spatakula** · 08-12-2009, 08:39 AM

Looks good Todd. Most people don't realize just how difficult it is to be a "host" of something like this.

From a technical side, yes, more Res please. What camera are you using? And maybe some higher end post production. Also, your audio is not in stereo.

Other than that, a very commendable job!

Great content, which is most important.

It's better to just "do it" and work out the kinks as you go. A lot of people just sit around and talk about doing something like this (me included), but kudos to you and the Redline team for getting it into production.

**BUR_ZX3** · 08-12-2009, 01:11 PM

Thanks Ron. Once our budget allows, we're planning on going HD, no doubt.

But even the very generous sponsorship from our good friends at Subaru was not enough to cover the expense of all new cameras, laptops and software to do HD work. Not yet at least.

We're using a Sony 3CCD Mini DV camera thats probably close to 6-7 years old. Part of the resolution issues stem from the video file size. We'll work on some settings to see if we can't improve without doubling the size of the file to upload.

**Rockefela** · 08-12-2009, 02:25 PM

Todd,

Are you just reaching out locally for most of your video and photography at these events for now or are people going out with you specifically for those tasks?

I'm guessing some local guys did your Nashville (IIRC) coverage in HD, because that was pretty well done.

It may be more inexpensive in the time being to find people with the right equipment for now and pay them. Just a thought...

**BUR_ZX3** · 08-12-2009, 04:53 PM

At Nashville, Streetfire.net sent out their own crew to produce a couple of "original content" pieces.

We'll do HD... and sooner reather than later. Really, until we get the Go Pro cameras that are in HD, then its not worth the step up.

**Rockefela** · 08-12-2009, 05:05 PM

Well, your doing well with what ya got.

Next year you gotta schedule maybe a 2 week tour down here in SoFla. Maybe you can do back to back weekends at Homestead and PBIR! You could maybe share costs with FARAUSA which would probably enter a host of cars. I could get you in touch with their organizers

Also, does your agreement with Streetfire keep you exclusive to their site? Maybe upload to Youtube for better quality?

**BUR_ZX3** · 08-12-2009, 05:27 PM

Youtube won't take a 20 minute video... last I checked.

Streetfire can be as high quality as we want it... its just a matter of file size and upload time.

Yeah they restrict it to 10minutes but each 10 minutes can be up to 2gb quality wise (which you would never need). You could break it into two parts.

**ZXmurph** · 08-13-2009, 01:10 PM

Todd you are fu**in' hot! Great Job, keep rolling with it!

**BUR_ZX3** · 08-13-2009, 06:19 PM

Thank you Stephen... we'll be in Jersey in a couple of weeks... you should bring the fam down and check out what the Redline Crew has evolved into.

**jinstall** · 08-14-2009, 03:07 PM

PTuning I know those guys, I have bought a few specialty items from them.

Also why is there only a left vocal track?

**slidemaster** · 08-14-2009, 04:32 PM

Todd your track announcement and this type of support really help to take the series up! I find in really cool and interesting to follow the teams while I cannot make it out.

Good stuff!

**recar** · 08-16-2009, 09:04 AM

Well done.
