Train spotting video "Top Gear style"

What do you think about this video? I just wanted to create something different. Top Gear always tells a story about the cars they test, so why not do the same with a trainspotting location?
In this case it is Genshagener Heide near Berlin/Germany.
Also, they often use heavily filtered footages and unusual camera angles.
Do you like it or not? Please tell me your opinon about this video!

I like this. It's very well done. Hone your technique a bit more and you could start producing these as professional DVDs. Picture quality is good. Editing is good. Compared to railway DVDs I have from the 1980's & 1990's, German railways are looking a bit rough around the edges now - faded paint, grass on the track, graffiti everywhere. Or am I just turning into a grumpy old man?

@lensarea

thanks!

yes, there is a lot of graffiti, probably because the station is in the middle of nowhere.

Passenger trains however hardly have graffiti.

And on the Berlin S-Bahn they put big orange stickers on graffiti-painted trains that say "this train has been damaged - we will remove the graffiti as soon as possible!."

I don't like it, as I don't like Top Gear. This style seems to be geared towards people with some kind of attention deficit disorder that get bored unless shots change every 3 seconds. :S

@grywacz

hahaha...yes, you´re right concerning the attention deficit disorder...

Especially Jeremy always needs someone to talk down on or to make s.o. look bad.

Very nice footage about, this place. This is a very good video about trains and the information about the place where this is happening.

[everspeaking]

Mate if it was top gear style, they'd blow up the trains or drop a piano on them.. trust me

Schönes video, sondern fur ein chilene der alter fanatiker Deutsche Bahn ist.

Nice; es gibt mehrere wege und Bahnhofe auser betrieb in Deutschland, aber alle haben eine geschichte. Sehr Gut

I quite like this. The variety and intensity of the rail traffic allows your creative freedom to come to the fore and retain interest. Whilst I have not done anything like this I am experimenting with two cameras and the editing process to add interest to watching just the one train pass. I will post a video response for you to see.
