Top Gear Style Filming: Canon 7D + Outils Wolf

[Shady137]

You nailed it man! If the title would've been "Top Gear season 6 episode 3 part 4 of 10", this comment would be asking for the rest of the video. Good job man!

[Armixs]

any help on filming fast moving objects? I.E drifting cars?

I was filming today and it came out really horrible, and it was my first day.

I used canon 60D, which I suppose is close to 7D

[bigjon6565]

10/10. You could air that on Top Gear and no one would be any the wiser. I searched for (Top Gear Film Effect) and got this - exactly what I was referring to. Well done - you have a bright future (bright but with some vignetting) - stick with it.

[Filthstift]

Nicely done

[JEsposito729]

Great job man, Bravo!!

[TitanVlogs]

Is it weird if I say I want to drive this lawn mower now? Btw, your video was retweeted in a post by @TopGear_America on Twitter. Well done.

[AhmadKayyali1]

This is amazing bro

[orthusnet]

great video, very well edited

[jtan163]

Really well done.

Any chance of a how to, describing how you did it and what elements give it that Top Gear flavour?

[RobBahouPictures]

@jtan163 Well, there really isn't much to it, i filmed all my shots in 24p, i put my shooting style to as dull as possible to preserve dynamic range, just simple tripod panning shots, in terms of editing, find your music first, and then edit to that music. In terms of colours, I used red giant's awesome "Looks Pro". I desaturated, increased contrast, added a graduated filter darkening the top. I'll paste the rest in the description, youtube won't let me type more

[CJAEY]

Couldn't have done it any better, very top gear-esque lol

[sunboy52]

I dont think you could have hit the nail on the head any better... Oh wait.. Clarkson's voice, and him walking in from the right of the screen and putting his hand on the mower... lol..

[BadKarmaNinja]

I wonder if I could use the sound track but I am afraid it will just get a copyright strike and will render my footage useless

[pokuscjeden]

Please can someone send this to BBC, i would love to see this in next TG season

[steverado87]

I think it is the most powerful lawn mower...IN THE WORLD!- Jeremy Clarkson

[silverspiderpig5]

Ha ha this is great!

[Shatnr124]

I thought this really was a video from Top Gear haha and i love the Halo soundtrack!



[pokuscjeden]

The Editing is so perfect, that i would give you the job if i was a TopGear producer

[117rojas]

I was waiting for Jeremy to start narrating haha

[guymhahn]

VERY NICE!!!

[00death00]

This is amazing, and the only thing that could make this better, is to have Jeremy's voice in it

[Ryance85]

America Top Gear on History channel has nothing on this guy or the real top gear editors in the BBC , much more artistic you guys are with your scenes and back drops WAY more dramatic than the stupid History Top gear which I like but there editors need to take a hike.

[HouseForLife6]

Wow, you really are good at filming !

[Ytbehandling11]

I hope they show this on the show x), would've been awesome!

[RnB12]

now all we need is a british bloke to blabber on about how awesome it is

[ifsignificant]

Very Top Gear

[MrBiscuitCake]

awesome in HD

[quicksilver4648]

Yeah, I thought this music was from Halo. And then sure enough, I was correct.

[Dankduster]

The Halo series has some of the best music in the industry today.

[Zahgurim]

Very nicely done

[marcinovski]

you should have reviewed it clarkson style, i would have watched that too

[rjam710]

Fantastic job! I was wondering what kind of rig you have for your 7D for recording video, or do you just freehand everything?

[electrobreakbeats]

very but very good work..nice one

[RobBahouPictures]

@UnderdoggYo yep the second part right after the quick cuts is from the halo soundtrack

[Ariel4189]

DARK CORNERS!!!!!!!

[noematus]

Seriously well done.. Very very impressive. Almost want to try it myself sometime. :)

[wiggle987]

haha absolutely spot on, even down to the music ( /watch?v=1V3xdsVkVOU Clarkson driving through that tunnel in france(?) to Gears of War music)

[obviouslypepsi]

Spot on mate. I think the editors at Top Gear have a thing for some of the more instrumental Nine Inch Nails tracks, so that might be an idea.

Do more!

[RobBahouPictures]

@obviouslypepsi Ill look into the nine inch nails soundtrack, and i definitely will do more, i'll start working on a new one tomorrow if the weather permits

[SumoSizeIt]

@RobBahouPictures Final Gear's site has a track listing from every episode if you want. I'd link it but youtube wont let me :|

[RobBahouPictures]

@SumoSizeIt Wow i didn't know that, i've always wanted to know what music they were using, thanks, i'll take a look at it

[SumoSizeIt]

@RobBahouPictures Yeah, go to Forum > Shows > Top Gear > TG What's That Song?

[Cyteq1]

Wait a sec. Is the music from WoW or Halo? im thinking halo

[RobBahouPictures]

@Cyteq1 it's halo, their is music is awesome and so adaptable

[ksisick]

@RobBahouPictures WEll when you have a master composer making your music, it will be an incredible piece. Pretty much any Halo song could fit something emotional or epic.

[ChaplainVarnus555]

halo.....

winning

[BobLoblaw118]

Very good choice of music I must say.

[thejoltjoker]

Looks really good!

[Snowboarder3195]

Isn't that song in halo 3?

[xProdiigyy]

I can hear Clarkson's voice speaking to me through the moving images D:

[strategy]

Adding Jeremy Clarksons voice to the mix would make it complete.

[JereHakala]

The greatest lawn mower...IN THE WORLD

[johnyma22]

Top gears over editing offends me.

[RobBahouPictures]

@johnyma22 That's your opinion, it gives them their own style though

[noematus]

@johnyma22 Hush up now, the creative folk are busy. Grrrr...

[Fredo5227]

HALO!!!!

[RobBahouPictures]

@Fredo5227 Yup that's right

[philballphotography]

Nice Job!

tell us about your gear. follow focus? Slider?

[RobBahouPictures]

@philballphotography Thanks! I've got an opteka slider, which really is terrible, lots of tries before you get something usable, no other gear, just focusing on the lens, the gear specifics are on the description

[MrYousafBajwa]

lol Halo

[almcken]

halo sound track.... FTW

[ezmeerkicap]

You seems to used a lot of Slider shot. What brand of slider you are using?

Anyway, the color grading and the background music is truly matching and meet the Top Gear criteria!

[jonathankobrin]

now just say, "In the world"

[rubbern0se]

Nice work, you captured the style very well. Some of the soundtracks I've noticed over the last few years are by: Daft Punk, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Bonobo, Nightmares on Wax, and the soundtrack to the film Moon has been used extensively.

[RobBahouPictures]

@rubbern0se Thanks for the advice, i had no idea what music they use, i'm going to make another one for a quad bike ,i'll use the music you suggested

[niijeaonolla]

Really cool, missed only the voice of Clarkson :D

[Suscida]

Thats really awesome, can't believe you're 17. Nice job!

[iPhonemod702]

thats a god damn lawn mower

[LOLitsJono]

now you need to do something with the clouds where the fast forward then slow down, otherwise, nailed with the DoF and the movie filter

[senorschmu1]

The greatest lawn mower...IN THE WORLD

[Aryankage1]

you have to use something from the tron legacy soundtrack

[RobBahouPictures]

@Aryankage1 I haven't heard it yet but i'll look into it, perhaps on my next top gear video

[Aryankage1]

@RobBahouPictures

In every episode for the last 2 seasons apart from mondays i have noticed it, its by daft punk

Excellent work. The style is spot on

[wendyandmanny]

Big thumbs up, thought I was watching Top Gear. Great job.

[TopGearbox]

The only thing which would complete this video, would be a voice over from Jeremy saying "This, is the Outils Wolf - and all you need to know is that it's the fastest lawn mower.............. in the world."

[RobBahouPictures]

@TopGearbox you're absolutely right, i tried doing the voice over a few times but i couldn't get my voice to sound good enough for it to pass off as a top gear voice over, i guess i'll keep trying

[nerrawekim]

Nice job. Thumbs up.

[Spawn666949]

Great job. I envy you people with imagination and skill. :)

[RobBahouPictures]

@Spawn666949 thanks :) i really appreciate it

[Noahprimex]

definitely better than the other ones out there

[Landonmikey9]

nice effects

[Thehighestgear]

well done mate, almost perfect, only need the voice over

[Filmguru1990]

this is great!!

[SuperBoondockkid]

I love the bokey in some of those shots, and the cut where the lawnmower drives past the camera is epic

[phillipeiswloi]

i coulda sworn i was wtaching the real thing

[DigitallyDriven]

@phillipeiswloi agreed. now he just needs the massive budget and alot more lawn mowers. Top Lawn Mower, coming to a tv screen near you!

[gaskarth789]

sexy

[the19th88]

you should be a pro

[johnnysback12]

sick ass shit yo

[if7isright]

come make one for my car, i've got a golf tdi, that would be awesome

[eatingcheeseisfun]

nice! how did you get the black border thing ?

[RobBahouPictures]

@eatingcheeseisfun its a vignette, in magic bullet

[iplayfair1992]

nice work m8, d'you film in 24p?

[RobBahouPictures]

@iplayfair1992 30

[xxCainiscoolxx]

digging the color grading, what program did you use? and did you use any filters?

[RobBahouPictures]

@xxCainiscoolxx nope, no filters, just magic bullet

[912Johanna]

hahah i love the lawn mower, very professionally done though

[Elenabrownxxi]

just saw this on the top gear discussion page link you posted, i thnk it's really good!

[The892737]

[yumen91]

Maybe even better than the real thing, amazing man

[9012johnson]
