Green Machine

I thought I would upload some videos of my “early” racing days. These are videos my dad made when I was 10 years old, driving my Green Machine in our back yard. I was too short to drive regular-sized Go Karts back then.

The boy loves cars. He’s too short to drive go karts. Pedal power is the next best thing. While filming this, I kept thinking he was going to drift right into the pool…but the boy has skillz, LOL. Shot with Canon 5D Mark II and edited with Final Cut Express. I'm a little annoyed with how difficult it is to lock specific exposure settings so the lighting gets kinda out of wack. Boy was driving too fast anyways and I couldn’t keep up so I just let the camera do it’s thing. Color grading also got a little nutty due to the exposure differences. Oh well.

The boy has improved his drifting skills so he wanted me to make another video. This time, using his new favorite song: Session, by Linkin Park.
