Thanks to all of you who shared your pics and video. Great Job !!

You guys look like you had a great plan and all went well.
Me and FP recently organized a Chicagoland meet and had 9 Crossfires present but never actually organized a drive.
We need to meet again soon to do a planned drive event.
It is a good time meeting other Crossfire owners and spending some free time together.

 

Great pics and videos guys.
GTGs are fun eh?
We should try to do more of them across the country.
Thanks for sharing.

 

How did you do the ghost fade effect in when the cars were leaving the park? What video editor did you use? I used iMovie HD.

 

Daniel,

I used the Windows Movie Maker that came with Windows.

Basically, you drag/drop video clips into a 'timeline', and you can manipulate them so that one video plays on top of the other. You can make them Fade In/Fade Out, etc...

Because the camera never moved, and the only thing that changed in the video was the cars, I was able to overlay the '2nd lap' of cars on top of the first one, slightly offset.

Turned out to be a cool effect!

Next time, I want to put the camera on the ground in the center of the road, have everyone criss-cross them (one goes left, one goes right)...

You know what's sad? I took the video on the 'low' quality with poor resolution. I forgot I had it set that way, so it came out a little blurry. Next time I'll be sure to get it right!

Looks like a great time. I bet that looked awesome to see all the cars coming down the road all at once. Did anyone approach you during your stops and ask about the cars?

Steve,

We really didn't stop long enough to have anyone ask - but we did go down by the Guadalupe river where several people were gawking and a few even took pictures.

We also had several people stop dead in their tracks to check them all out. I remember one lady saying, "Look at that car...WOW, There's more!" lol

That's great. Like the video. Too bad you guys are so far away from me for a quick trip to join you.
