General Helmet unboxing with Special Intro

[Meifesto]

I know, everyone and their grandma's do unboxing video's of helmets.
But ... I want to try out a funny intro.
Some editing tricks in Davinci.
And Youtube Subtitles.

So what a great way to do all of that, in 1 video.

So it was bron; the LS2 helmet unboxing video. Just for the intro xD

@Drakhen99 , any tips (if any)?

That was a fun intro!

I'd probably have a speed ramp on the car coming to a stop [fast to slow], to better match up with the sound effect you have for it, and to naturally slow down the pace from the high-speed driving. Right now, you're fast-fast-slow, without any transition, and the music doesn't help with that transition. TBH, I do this a LOT in the video going live in 2 hours on my channel, but there's a fast-slow-fast sort of thing going on, and my music selection matches that in a way.

Haha, I was gonna comment on why the "missing reel", but on 2nd viewing I saw the flash of skin

I'm not sure why you have the slumping, or burnaway, but I get the drink [I'd have done 2-3 shorter clips to indicate that the beverages were consumed.

Overall, I think it's a fun way to start the video - but IMO, it's missing something. Like a catalyst - are people chasing you? Did someone steal your helmet and now you need a new one? Are people trying to steal THIS helmet and you safely got it home? [which is what I assume you were going for]

Also, FWIW, I think you NAILED the aged cellulose film stock look, and THAT part was very cohesive - good job!

That is actually a really good one yes.
That I didn't think of that myself...

For the same reason as the missing real.
It is kinda filmed to give the DeathProof feel as wink to the old exploitation films.

That is to the viewer.
Maybe I stole the helmet?
Was it my car to begin with?

Thanks
Other then the very very crispy looking drinking glasses, that was difficult to get the same feeling with.
So many fusion effects, and a good few times running into the "studio" limit.

OK, all that makes sense then
