Lets Drive? A Sunny Day In Scotland - A Quick Look At Where I Like Driving

I've been thinking about attaching my camcorder to the car for a while. Not so much for making Youtube vids but just for the fun of seeing what kind of interesting footage I could capture. This is my first and very basic attempt :) . All I did here was rig up a cheapo £5 tripod to the passengers seat and stick the camera mount out the sunroof :P. The camera is just a basic Flip Mino HD recording in 720p.

This was shot on a nice sunny day in West Central Scotland near to where I stay. The wind noise over 10mph was really bad so I've added some video game music instead (details below). I've got some plans to test out different lens like fish eye and wide angle etc. I also want to experiment with alternative mount points to see if I can get more dramatic effects :) .

MUSIC DETAILS
The music in this video is from the 2D puzzle platform game VVVVVV. Details of the game can be found here...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VVVVVV
The game's soundtrack (which btw is f##king awesome! :P) is called PPPPPP and was composed by chiptune musician Magnus Pålsson (AKA SoulEye).
You can listen/buy some of the tracks here...

The particular track in this video is the Whitaker Blackwall remixed version of Potential For Anything and can be found on the PPPPPP remixed album called PPPPPPowerup! - PPPPPP arranged
You can find details on that and buy it from here...

have you seen C'était un rendez-vous. where a man drives thru Paris in the early morning, at high speed. Its a camera bolted to the bumper of the car. Supposedly a big Merc. But with a soundtrack of a ferrari dubbed on.

I think it was Snow patrol that used the film as a video. Pity they didnt leave the ferrari noise on, instead of there own

[RetroGameTech]

@griftereck I actually really like that video :). I don't mind the Snow Patrol song either. It seems to fit perfectly with the video.

i would lend you my golf vr6 to drive these roads on if i lived closer!!!! roads are very boring down here in norfolk!!!! lol:-)

[RetroGameTech]

@robster604 Lol, I'd definitely take you up on that offer. Haha. you should see the old banger I drive!

[tvdxrools]

hi incase you dont want to give your location away if you keep going on that road does the first place you come to begin with a S and is/were there a jail on the right hand side

[RetroGameTech]

@tvdxrools I think the road name is the B743 if that helps. It's recently been resurfaced and painted and is super smooth/fun to drive. Pretty quite road but seems to be really popular with bikers this time of year.

Wait, Sun in Scotland?? this has to be fake :P

[NinjaBooKitty]

Very nice thank you! I'm planning a 2 week trip to Scotland next year for a clan gathering and plan to drive the entire time, spending the majority of my time in the Highlands. I'm very much looking forward to just this kind if experience :-)
