Used my Spark as a "Dolly" Today - BMW Footage

[RBSileighty]

I used my Spark as a "Dolly" for a pan across my friends BMW 2002 with a S62 V8 Swap today... it worked out really well! The full video will have a lot of footage I shot with my drone as well. He wanted me to throw up a teaser video, so I put this up tonight. Let me know what you think!

Nice, what was your setup exactly ?

... did you strap your Spark to the hood for those engine sounds?!!

Yes, was asking me too if it was on purpose or in progress...

Hey, for the wiper... I'm not sure (not my car). My understanding is that the car is done, so I guess it's intentional?

The only Spark shot was the "Dolly" shot in the beginning. I set the spark in "Tripod" mode and panned from the rear to the front. In post I reversed the footage so it'd go from the front to the back of the car. I decided to do this instead of actually going from the front to back due to the car being parked so close to the garage door.

As for the hood shot - that was a Hero4 Silver GoPro on a suction cup with a lavalier mic using a mic wind cover by the intake under the hood for audio.
