I had seen a similar video of a Z3 being built the last time I was up at the BMW Zentrum in Spartanburg, South Carolina… but I had no idea there was a video of an E46 being built. The voiceover is in German, but a picture speaks a thousand words… and these words are awesome.

This video is a super-short and sweet attempt at making a drift video unlike any other I have made before. All the on-car footage is shot from cameras mounted on other drift cars during multi-car tandem. I wanted it to feel very theatrical… and the soundtrack by John Carpenter helps tremendously. The DriftMechaniks were on a murder spree this weekend… so it seemed all-but fitting.
We’re headed down to the red-carpet premiere of Drift Alliance’s new DVD “Stay Hungry”. There’s definitely a lot of anticipation surrounding the release. The premiere will be at the same theater we premiered Slide America almost 1 year ago. With the entire professional drift community in town for round 2 of Formula Drift… tonight is sure to be a riot.
We’ll see you all down on the red carpet… in the meantime – enjoy the “Stay Hungry” teaser trailer:
I finished up a rad video loop for the Advanced Armament booth at the 2008 SHOT Show out in Las Vegas.I had a bit of a time crunch on it… but overall, I’m very pleased with the outcome. I can’t stop watching the motion graphics sequence at the end, where it runs through the catalog roster of silencers using After Effects.I’m super excited to be working with Advanced Armament, and I’m really looking forward to working with them more in the future!

This trailer will be included on the upcoming retail release available in stores everywhere February 2008.
The retail release will have the same documentary (with minor edits), but will be crammed full of extra bonus features.
Despite a mechanical failure rendering my car useless for the weekend…
I did manage to get some solid face-time with Jason and the crew from Speed TV for an interview!
The Slide America Premiere got featured on the official Formula Drift podcast: The DriftZone!
Take a look:
I managed a top-8 finish in Cordele, GA this weekend for round 2 of the SCCA Drift Series at Watermelon Speedway! There was a questionable call made in regard to my opponent’s advancement, but a great event for sure!
This is quite possibly the best 30 seconds I have EVER edited, and the raddest trailer ever made.
