Be extremely critical. This is just the first half. He gave us this assignment so he wouldn't have to make a final exam for us to take.

That's brilliant!
If you had a 9-5 Aero it would've been even better - the turbos on those could propel it from 40-70 quicker than a 911 Turbo!

My advice is to cut out the part with the people and the space crap and replace it with glory shots of the 9-5. Showcase the cupholder, maybe. Give us some turbo noise. Show off the torque. Show of the looks. Yummy. I need new pants just thinking about how great that video would be.

that is coming. I'll have time this summer and my job involves driving into nowhere and into the city.

The intro seemed kinda drawn out. Lots of black screen. Not sure if there is a minimum time requirement you were trying to hit

I noticed that. This is only the first half. It was long because I needed to have the music carry out to a good fading point.

My plan when my next turbo goes out (they go every 100,000) is to get an Aero one and get an ECU upgrade to accept the bigger turbo (eeuroparts does it for about $200 including core) and keep my non Aero badges. Might get nicer Saab wheels.

Here's how it works:
Steal the Cadillac ELR commercial and make sure you replay the part about the moon 20 times, then as he walks outside, cut to a CTS-V wagon BEING DRIVEN BY A BALD EAGLE doing a burn out as Jimi Hendrix's rendition of our national anthem plays. Then start the actual video.

First, I like it. Nice work, and it's easy to tell you and your team enjoyed doing it. My $0.02 for edits/changes:
- "terrestrial planet earth" is redundant. Change it to "humanity's home planet Earth", or something like that. I say this as a guy who lives on, I kid you not, "Table Mesa". Seriously, "Table Table".
- In the opening text, it's spacefaring. Not space fairing. That'd be like an ablative heat shield, perhaps.
- Little too much deadtime after opening text and before The Astronauts opening.Try to standardize your headings for each astronaut. Ideally, name, DOB, date of NASA call-up, branch of service, and rank. Add Armstrong's rank. If you include rank for one, you should for all, especially if it's mixed service branches. A lot of .mil folks are very particular about that.
- Add specs for the training, like exact g-forces trained to, expected at liftoff and re-entry, and typical limits for humans. That's an important factor as unmanned missions can be accelerated much more aggressively (usually...). Having humans on board made a tough engineering challenge a much, much harder problem. See if you can insert a clip of either the rotating g-force chair or the "three axes of freedom" to maintain your old/new footage parallel scheme (which is cool, BTW).
- Time signatures at NASA are never with an am or pm. The leading "0" in 0600 means before noon by definition. And UT, or GMT at least, is the standard. If you want to do it local time, say something like 6:00 AM EST, or similar. That might be good, because you could reference the base and launch site for a little more history fact ref for the class.
- Love the re-decoration on the wagon. It made me smile. The astro closing the hatch by tether was a nice touch.See if you can get some on-launch audio clips to add. There is a metric crap-ton of chatter and work to do during acceleration to LEO. It's the second most dangerous part of missions that require safe return to earth. (Safe) Re-entry being harder.
Nice efforts! Hope your grade reflects it, too. BTW: it's much, much more time consuming for your teacher to ask for, and then review/grade a final project than to create and admin an exam. But, they know you'll get way more out of it (and prob enjoy it more).
Finally: Enjoy your summer!

Thanks! That was all really helpful. I figured it would need some work as I just threw it together last night. I'm positive nobody in my class would notice any of those things but now I know about them and can change them.
