Club Arnage

Right so firstly, you may remember my video from last year, and I really must apologise for the distribution of the high quality copies that was going to happen, not actually going anywhere. My harddrive that contained the full quality video had a hissy fit and I don't seem to be able to get it back. I still haven't formatted it, in the hope that I may be able to retrieve it!

Anyway, onto 2006!

This video's quite different to last years (well, obviously, I'm not just going to recreate the same video am I?)
It's shorter, quicker, punchier, better edited, but unfortunately not quite as... "epic", and doesn't have as many cars...
It was hard to film stuff that was different to last year's stuff, to try and get an original video, as last year I got nearly 6 hours of footage!

That render is slightly the wrong ratio I think, but I can't fix it quickly, and if I could, I still can't be arsed, you'll have to make do!
I'll fix it next week when I get back from holiday!

And your comments/criticisms are always welcome!

PS, thanks to the T.W.A.T.S for all the stickers, that was great fun!  ;D

Quality. As for your drive, take it out and try putting it into someone elses computer as a second drive. If it still works, you'll get all your stuff off it. I've done this a few times and its saved my bacon.

Also nice site as well mate.

enjoyed it again, as last year. Keep up the good work (http://forum.drinkingforholland.com/images/smiles/icon_thumbsup.gif)

Excellent  again Martyn, thanks ;D

Cool video, thanks for posting.

Another "Well done" Martyn, although less than 3 weeks have passed, your film brings back good memories of LM 2006.

Great vid Martyn....and great pics on the site too.

Nice video, tells the story like it is! Good info for virgins to grasp the atmosphere at Le Mans

Very creative, atmospheric and amusing - you are a talented editor and really have projected the fun of the event - music made it even better - congratulations.
I didn't care much for the sticker lark, though. Call me a sour-puss, but I feel that gobbing that crap onto people's cars (presumably without their agreement) is not right - and would have been met with an unpleasant response, had it happened to me. Apologies to Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction, "You don't f*ck with another guys wheels, it's plain wrong". This may be a slight mis-quote, but the sentiment is plain.
Otherwise - really, really good.

Great video guys, still enjoy watching last year one you made. Didn't go this year :'(, but man, what happened to the weather over there, not a bit like last year.
  God do I miss those cars, the smells, the girls, the BEER ;D

Good Stuff, thanks.

Only rained on the Wednesday, just like last year.

On monday it was 34.5 degrees, cooled down a bit on tues, wed was the wet day, then warmed up again to 32 on Sunday.

So not a great deal different from last year.

Great video! The 'classic' Le Mans start was genius.

Nice Avatar Rich - good to see you active!


Martyn, your video is as excellent as last year, but don't be a twaite.

Hi Dave - my Avatar appeared a little larger than I had planned! However, it pretty much sums up our motor race 'experiences' over the years...

Martyn

Thanks, nice vid [as usual] link forwarded to my mate in Canada and my son will forward it to his mates. Worldwide by Sunday probably ;D

D.A.

well done Martyn,a great effort
PM

Once again a great effort - if you don't already, you should make a career in TV or film production. Was that Smokie I saw being 'Twatted' in amongst the others?

Nah - twasn't me - the CA shirt had additional writing on which mine doesn't.

There was one really great shot of a car going under the Dunlop bridge and the helicopter coming over the horizon. Very unusual, but powerful image.

What a fantastic video!

Le Mans 2006 was great, but the video makes me want to do it again - RIGHT NOW.

How do you put it an a DVD to play on the tele?

most excellent video, the helicopter taking off behind the dunlop bridge and the race car coming through, epic.  And Peter aka pretzel many thanks for getting the video duped for us all.  FS

Very cool video, thanks for making and sharing it with us.

It was last years shirt, cheapskate,whoever it was

Great Video.

Did you have the video camera surgically grafted to your hand for the entire weekend??

Good work.

Great video again Martyn.

btw - the CA man being 'twaited' is Gibberish.

Top quality footage Martyn.

I agree with Matt Harper about the Thwaites stickers though. The way the Thwait slapped one on the yellow Caterham's fibreglass bonnet sent shivvers down my spine. No one has the right to do that to someone elses pride and joy. Stupid Thwaits. >:(

Thanks for the video.  It was well done and really captured the essence of Le Mans.  I couldn't make it this year but felt a taste of the real thing thru your videography talent.  Thanks again.

Aha, that makes sense of the old shirt. I met Gibberish and had a chat with him at the services north of Rouen on Monday morning and I noticed he had  printed at least 3 extra years on his shirt. It had seen a fair bit of action by the look of it, maybe he could be coersed into buying a new one next year

I think Gibberish has seen a fair bit of action too  :o

Maybe the Tw@ts stickers were less strong gluey this year, some wearers of these stickers needed constant attention to stop 'em falling off...

Always happy to oblige of course.
