I'll start this new thread by posting some videos of the recent Rennsport Reunion IV held Oct 14-16, 2011 at Laguna Seca (Mazda Raceway).
More good stuff continues to pop-up on YouTube of this great event so keep them coming!
This first clip is a short 20-minute preview of over eight-hours of raw HD video footage I shot during the event.
I'm also working on producing a three or four DVD-set using the higher quality HD footage I have. Many digital photos will be included as well.
The video is simply stunning to watch on a large television screen while the audio makes you feel you're actually reliving the event!
Once the DVD's are available, a will post a notification here 914-6 GT's Photo Galleries at pbase.com

BTW, I also have over 15+ more hours of high-end HD video I personally shot using a Steadicam Merlin Arm and Vest
of the previous two Rennsport Reunions (II and III). Eventually, I will produce and release those DVD's as well.
Really fun to watch after all these years. At the time, all I did for four straight days was video the event,
didn't find much time to shake hands with all that was going on, unfortunately...

Porsche Rennsport Reunion IV 2011 - QUALIFYING Group 4 - Car #61
This is an excellent video with at least four on-board cameras in the RSR, maybe more. This video started 'clear as a bell',
but the early morning fog and moisture in the air did make the rest of the video a bit fuzzy. I still like that effect.

Check out these video camera transitions at the following time-lines;
4:47, and starting at 5:45 you'll see an exciting rear-camera view of a pack of RSR's heading for the corkscrew. A bit later, at around 6:35, you'll see Bruce in his White 935 making his "C-Ya!" pass by no less than three of the RSR's. Fantastic rear-video imaginary you couldn't nornally get with only one camera onboard, as we know, it's not always what's in front that's exciting. More at 8:00, 8:24, 10:59 and 12:10... Imagine it all on a clear sunny day
Great video work from the guys at Vision Wells | On-Track Video Productions, and here are other samples of in-car videos using different camera configurations Vision Wells | On-Track Video Productions
PAY ATTENTION... and you might get some good ideas...
To see the video camera set-up on this particular 911 RSR, go to my video at the top of this post and advance the time-line to 5:20.
Note the #61 RSR as it approaches, now look at the two roof-mounted forward/rear cameras, as well as a left/rear fender quarter panel mounted camera (there is another on the opposite side). I am not aware of any other car at the event that was equipped this well with video recording gear. Ideally, this is how I would want to set up the video cameras on my own car. This complexity does create a bit more work when video-editing, but the results are a whole lot more captivating!
