I went to the KC Auto Show a little over a week ago, and I decided to try giving brief video reviews a shot. I'd love to hear your opinions.

Pretty damn good for a first try. I clicked expecting some typical hand-held auto show footage (which I'm also guilty of) but this is not that. Pretty resourceful using some Dodge footage, nicely cited as well.

Were you using a slider? What camera?

Thanks!

No slider. Just a tripod with a fluid head. Shot it on a Canon T2i/550D. I used a 24-105mm L lens for the majority of it, but I think there were a few shots in there with an old manual 50mm lens from a film camera that I adapted to my DSLR.

It was better than I expected (and way better than the STL show). Z06, Hellcat, Z/28, i8, new F-150, & the Alfa 4C all made an appearance.

Damn, now I'm mad I missed it. Were you able to get up close to all those mentioned?

The Z06 was up on a big rotating pedestal so you couldn't get close. Most of the other big ones were just kind of "don't touch me" roped off. But the Z/28 was open and unlocked.
