Tbh, I'll sub when you start uploading actual vlogs so I can see what your content is like. No need for a Sub4Sub scheme if your vlogs are good :)

I see your point. Tbh, I'm kind of contemplating posting anything right now. So far I've had some bad luck. My fullHD action cam just arrived from the US (took about a month or more) and it's busted >_<
I do have some shots of military gear that I came by the other day. Filmed it in a vlog fashion so I'm thinking to post this to keep it at least tiny bit going beffore the bike season here closes :(

Anybody care for seeing more of these bad boys?

That's unfortunate. A crafty vlogger can do with whatever they have at hand to meet their schedule. Keep that in mind, its more about content than gear.
Those are some big tanks, if you have anything presentable on that I think you should absolutely post it ASAP.
 
I agree, content is king and if you think people will like it then post it. Heck in my last video you saw I threw some drifting action in there from the weekend before.

Tis my favorite thing to shoot! I normally shoot photos, but my video guy wasn't there and some teams were paying for videos. Gotta do what the money brings in!

I will post the full video whenever I finish it.

Actually on that note, here's some headsup. I directed and produced these videos :)

I'll definitely go ahead and edit it up within these few days! Thanks for the push haha.
PS. it's pretty much a Russian flagship tank, T90. As I mention on my profile. I'm Rider in Red and I ride in a post USSR (red) country. Not a communist though :D
 
Alright so I went ahead and got the video done! What do you guys think? Pardon me for the lack of vlogging experience for now :D

I watched with no sound because I was bored. Your motion graphics are legit! What program did you use to make those?

Thanks. I work on After Effects mainly. (it's actually my fulltime job :D) If you got any questions regarding that, ask away :)

I have AE CS3 but I haven't dove into it...I really need to. Have any tutorial sites or Youtube pages you recommend to check out to learn the basics and work my way up to more complicated stuff?

It depends what you wanna do. I'd suggest Adobe tutorials as a very basic starting point. For more how to vids on some effects/visuals/etc. check out Videocopilot.net Andrew Kramer does tutorials there and he's an amazing guy, he's now doing tons of projects with JJ Abrams including Star Wars. Those tutorials should help a lot!

Cool! I've actually watched a couple of his videos back in the day when I was going to try to learn AE, but I never stuck to it. I feel like it's hard to get into but once I do it'll be a lot easier than I think. I might play around with some stuff when I get time and see what I can come up with. I have an idea for a little splash intro like yours, just need to learn how to do it!

I hear ya. It MIGHT be a steep slope. I don't even remember how I got into it, but if you're working with it for a few hours on daily basis it kind of becomes second nature. When you're starting, think of it as a lateral photoshop (aka timeline). Try to create your desired graphics and then only animate them. Also a headsup, you can always bring in Photoshop graphisc (PSD file with layers)

Oh really? So when you import it each layer will be editable within AE?
 
Well dang that's awesome. I hope to have some time to play around with it this weekend. I will post the results when/if I have any haha
