11 Months, 3000 pictures and a lot of coffee.

Started out as just a collection of snaps as I stripped down an engine bought off ebay. (To replace my old engine, which had suffered catastrophic failure). The snaps were so that I remembered how everything went, so I could put it back together again.

Then I realised it'd be quite cool to make it an animation. found some suitable music, rekindled my ancient knowledge of Premiere, storyboarded it, shot it as I worked on the engine (my poor DSLR got covered in engine oil), this was the result.


The music is "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" from Edvard Griegs "Peer Gynt Suite"
I own a suitable license for this piece of music, supplied by Chris Worth Productions

why 11 months? for 3 days can be completed

[Wolfwood428]

Some of us like to work even when we have to wait for parts

[ben babic]

Because he took a shitload of sequenced pictures you fucknut

3 days to rebuild an engine? You could honestly rebuild an engine in a day if you needed it.

or a couple hours if you have a huge team like NHRA guys do.

Project cars don't have time frames.

[Steve Campin]

Superb, thank you. We appreciate all the work! Great insight into what's involved.....

[Puch Maxi]

Amazing

because it's probably not his job, just a hobby.

Great piece of work- or more accurately, PIECES of work, both the rebuild and the video. "Hall of the Mountain King" fits very wel.

I only chanced on this whilst looking for an old (sensible)- style thermostat placement to show my son how easy it used to be. His Astra is running a little cold, but when i went to change it it was inside the b*%&** .

Front wheel off, c/shaft pully off, timing belt (and covers) etc, instead of two or three easily accessed 7/16 bolts!
