The 2013 RevScene Spring Meet

This year has had the most enduring cold temperatures that I've ever experienced. It is coming near to the end of April and I'm still not sure whether I should swap my winter tires to my summer tires yet. The cold weather persisted to freeze us to death when Puyang and I went to the RevScene meet. However, it was still great to see everyone so enthusiastic about cars and friends.
There were a lot of cars that we have never seen, but also a lot of classics that we saw last year. I deliberately tried to film the cars that have never made it onto film in the past RevScene meet videos. If you would like to see some of the other cars from the 2012 Spring and Summer meet, be sure to check out those videos too
When I was shooting the film, I was sort of expecting this video to be very short. While walking around and looking at all these magnificent project cars, I realized we had skipped a lot of cars because we have used them in videos in the past. However, upon dumping all the files on the computer, I was surprised to find out that there were still too many cars! This final video has been edited down, and many of the cars I shot were actually cut out for the exact run time I had wanted.
This video wasn't a huge improvement compared to the videos shot last year, but we did experiment with some new film filters that I think made the video look a bit nicer. Hope you think so too.
We'll see what the Summer meet has in store later this year, but until then, stay tuned!

RevScene Summer 2012 Video

This is the video for the annual RevScene meet. The show was very well organized, and showcased some of the best cars owned by locals here. The Lexus LFA was a sight to behold, especially when I have never seen it outdoors in person.

Also got to meet a couple of Machine Zealots' viewers, who came up to us and introduced themselves. It was a pretty good experience overall.

Can't wait for next year's show!

RevScene Spring Meet 2012 Teaser

Yesterday, Puyang and I got up bright and early to attend the annual RevScene Spring meet. I had all of my GoPro Cameras charged and ready to go. The weather was cloudy, which was good for me, because I prefer shooting video in diffused light. However, it was freezing cold as this meet was held at the beach. More than 150 cars were at this meet, as most people pulled in from their own individual car owners clubs. People came with their family members, loved ones, and friends. And eventhough the weather was grey and gloomy, the atmosphere was not.

It was clear to me that each and every one of these owners loved their cars very much. You can clearly see the time, money, and effort put into their rides. Myself being an STI owner, I was obviously more focused on the STIs. Seeing what others were doing, and finding out what I liked and didn't like about a particular mod.
Puyang was interested in a wide variety of cars. While I was filming, he was taking photos. You can view the entire album on the Machine Zealots' Facebook page.

In the meantime, I am converting over 100 video clips into a different format, so I can get on with the editing. Hopefully it will be done by the end of this week, so I can move on to other things as well. I'll post the video later, but for now, enjoy the pictures!

One final thought, after going to this meet, I came to realize that my car is very stock compared to some of the project cars there. Eventhough I know I'll eventually get there, one can't help but feel tempted to step up the timeline. LOL. ;)
