New video here!: www.youtube.com After watching some Top Gear, I was determined to try and emulate their style, but then add a bit of my own. The car is an outils wolf lawn mower. How I did it/tips: Well, there really isn't much to it, i filmed all my shots in 24p, i put my shooting style to as dull as possible to preserve dynamic range, just simple tripod panning shots, in terms of editing, find your music first, and then edit to that music. In terms of colours, I used red giant's awesome "Looks Pro". I desaturated, increased contrast, added a graduated filter darkening the top.Then of course, the iconic top gear corner vignette. To get the top gear style shots on the panning shots, i would pan steadily, then it editing, speed up most of it to 1000% of the original speed, and leave one part to be slowly, that gives the effect of a quick pan moving to a slow pan, which is very top gear. Take a look at the shot that is primarily red, of the gas-meter, that's the technique i used for that, and pretty much every shot. In terms of focusing, like where the drums enter and break the classical music, it's just trial and error i suppose.
