I’m entering a video contest, and I want to convey to the people I’m working with what I want, and what I want is dramatic car videos. Top Gear & Grand Tour have a lot of these and they’re great, like this one:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

This has the style of shooting that I’m going for. Dramatic lighting, cool shots, tracking shots, great sound. Some racing videogame openers are like this, it doesn’t need to be real life.

It’s like an editorial photoshoot, but for a car and it’s video. It’s more than driving footage, but that’s there. I’m searching through YouTube for these right now, but there’s no way to single out the style that I can think of, and TG doesn’t do it every time, and some are better than others.

So if you have a video that’s one of your faves and want to share it with me I’d love to see it. Thanks!

I can’t seem to find it but I’m sure you could show them the review of the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio from The Grand Tour. That one has got to be among one of the most amazing edits I have ever seen from the grand tour/former top gear crew. Another good one is the McLaren P1 review from Top Gear.

That has got to be among one of my favorite top gear reviews. The music and editing combined with Jeremy’s genuine love for the car just combine to be perfect.

I don’t want to build it up too much, but you guys have been very helpful. As a reward we’re going to melt your eyeballs.
