Striving to give the viewers the best possible show I can, & continuing to work with computer driven graphics, top end software, and honing my skills in video editing – I pressed on making new and Exciting RC ADVENTURES for people to enjoy. Always attempting new techniques, and providing the viewers with jaw dropping RC effects on the trails.. this video is intended to show people exactly what can be done with time and dedication, and the right type of equipment.

This video is of my wife’s Pink Axial SCX10 Honcho I built her (tenderly dubbed as “PINKY”), the first 30 seconds of the production shows an amazing Forest Fire Scene. Pinky trudges through the flames, with engine roaring, and explosions sending logs and debris over the hood of the RC truck. All of this of course- is not real.

The final 30 seconds of the film shows the clip completely un-edited – and true.

Never believe what your eyes see.. Can you spot all of the differences in this film? I bet not.

By continuing to develop my video editing skills, I continued to delve into the world of Computer Generated effects and incorporating them into the “RC Adventures” series.

Utilizing an earlier discarded video clip from another film, and by adding a unique perspective to it.. this film looks closer at the possibilities of computer generated disaster, and a simple failed Trail climb – when my truck flipped over during filming.

Though this video is a very short 1 minute sequence, it took me more than 2 days of dedicated learning, and Editing work to achieve this amazing effect.

Enjoy !

In later months of 2010, I invested in a 27″ iMAC computer and Final Cut Pro, (a video editing software), for the RCSparks studio. With my videos becoming more mainstream, I thought it was time for the future products to get a bit of a “face-lift”.

This was my first attempt at “spreading my wings” and attempting a newer type of technology. I cant believe how many tutorials, and hundreds of hours of additional editing I have now completed since this film was created.

ENJOY!
