My own view is that video is much harder to digest than written content. With an article I can skim it easily, takes just a few seconds, and if I’m interested I can spend as much time as I want. Video can’t be skimmed easily.

factotum
For in car scenes, you’ll need lots of light, too, so a 2 or 3 million candlepower spotlight ($10-20 at Target) shining through a diffuser will do wonders.

So will parking the car in the direct sun and putting a white bedsheet over the windshield to diffuse the light.

The XF is a beauty. It deserves to be seen in motion.

Looking forward to the finished product.

A tripod will make your life easy and really nice ones aren’t too expensive on Amazon. For in car scenes, you’ll need lots of light, too, so a 2 or 3 million candlepower spotlight ($10-20 at Target) shining through a diffuser will do wonders.

Looking for a good car photographer? I’m available!

Go ahead, check my work. I’m cheap, easy, work with low-budget gear, and available light. What more could you ask for? ;)

Oh yeah, this is what “old school” REALLY sounds like.

@ Romanjetfighter,

We are stressing taking our own pictures of our tester cars, but sometimes, they really don’t turn out very well. The Bentley GTC review used all my pictures (minus interior… which were crap), and Johnny Lieberman proves very adept with the camera, and we nearly always feature his pictures in the reviews.

Stay tuned, we have listened to all of ya’ll, and we are adapting, because we refuse to die.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I enjoyed it. I’ll look forward to more video content.

Man, Oklahoma sucks HXC. The 5 in California is a way cooler road! Nice car, though. I can’t wait to see the whole video!

Are you guys going to take your own pictures, too instead of using stock ones? That would be awesome. I think Mr. Lieberman did a few. Or Shoemaker. Not sure. It was neat!
