A few months back, I said I would eventually release a driver cam video of my “ugly face” driving my mustang. Because driver cams are apparently really cool. So, I finally delivered.
Me and my buddy are in the process of launching a new Youtube channel for all out motorized adventures and shenanigans. This is the first video, to pop the cherry so to speak. The quality is crap and personally, I find it rather boring. But, I said I would do it so I did it.
Hey, maybe some of you will like it? At least there’s some exhaust and intake noises and some crackles and whatnot. But you have to endure my damn face. Unfair, I know!
Description from Youtube: “In the first installment of “Ottawa Valley Adventures - Driver Cams”, Justin drives his mustang to go pickup his date in the next town. No music, no dialog. Just his silly mug, his reactions (or lack thereof) and the sounds from the V6 ford. You can skip the boring highway segment after the 5:00 mark by going straight to 19:00”

I like these types of videos. The perspective is informative to me. But I need more... and I think if you look at other driver cam videos, you’ll see it too. It’s not music, or entertainment (though that doesn’t hurt), it’s *information.* And the information I’m interested in, since I can duplicate the same machine/time/situational events that you have, is *your* opinion, take, awareness, thoughts, etc. at the moment you’re doing what you’re doing.
I’d never watch another video like this for noises or driving since I could duplicate everything in it myself: what I *can’t* duplicate, is your personal take/opinions/feelings about what’s happening around you while you’re driving.
You need to figure out why people watch things. The first level to test this is “would I watch this?” The second level is “What are they (the market, the audience) needing to see from me doing what I’m doing.” Art is one thing, and if you have a sponsor, more power to you. If you’re trying to drive [sic] views, then paying attention to what other’s expect is important. And oh, faces doesn’t matter, ugly or not (in fact, ugly may have a draw if the expressions are / experience is right.)
