Hello…I’m part of this group because I share the same interests as its members. I’m a nut for motorcycles…and the art of the racing motorcycle.

I’d like to share something that I am very passionate about. A project I’ve worked on for the better part of three years called Motorcycle Wars – Speed thrills.

It has evolved from the support and input of racers and race officials to friends and colleagues willing to bend their ears back and listen to pre-production plans.

The people who operate GTAM and SOAR and many other industry people have been super helpful in supporting this endeavour. We all want to be part of something that succeeds.

Which brings me to why I’ve posted in the Multimedia forum. I’d need your comments…from why it hits the mark to what it misses. Tell me what you think.

And of course if you like what you see…please SHARE these episodes on social media. Feel free to copy and paste the YouTube links into your social media.

You’ll find links to the YouTube Channel… Episodes 1,2 & 3 are there for your review. Subsequent episodes 4,5 and 6 soon to be released.

My name is Jerry Deluca and I’m stoked to share this…! Ask me anything.

Lose the intro music, reminds me of 70's porn
Lose the excruciating minutia of the long rider intros
More bishes less clothes
Invite famous Vloggers to guest star / interview ie. Baron Von Grumble and his 44 Teeth Channel (BSB and TT racers).

A random motorsports video on YouTube is more exciting. With what's out there, this show is a yawner. You need a niche. Combine women and motorcycles...a motorsports dating show. Winner gets the girl. Think Valentino Rossi interview sitting in hottub with ten barely bikinid bishes... and take it from there. You're in a rough market, organized TV shows are on the way out... except for the big leagues (MotoGP).

Those youtube clips remind me theassassin niagara runs without intro, other then that it don't make sense whatsoever.
 
As someone who has never really had interest in SS and never seen a trackday or race. It was entertaining enough. But, it seems that maybe you guys got some inspiration from my posts....finding out the riders' favourite foods. Really? I mean, I enjoy it, but not sure what you were trying to accomplish by adding that in. Just my 2 cents.

First, I have to say I like the concept.

We're developing something similar for Fox Sports where it's match racing under the old Grand National format where 4 riders will compete head to head on road, long track and TT in elimination races. Knowing Fox though its going to end up looking more like R U Faster than a Redneck.

For me I found it a little hard to watch. It was just like a collection of clips dropped onto a timeline and was very inconsistent throughout. There were so many different effects for cuts and dissolves it make it very disconnected. Cutting between cameras was very fragmented, different resolutions, wide chroma variance, gamut differences. Its kind of expected when using different cameras but its easy to fix. Some of the audio obviously came from track side but some sounded like it was recorded in a warehouse and had some loudness and normalization issues.

I also found the camera guys kept wandering off shot.

I also like lots of fast cuts in action sports. It brings out the velocity and momentum

Contrast it with this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL-Tfyxc-_E

This was done by a guy called Rohan Fondseca from Post Logic. Even though there many fast cuts between cameras, cadence changes, and hard cuts from black and white to color, it almost seems like one single end to end clip. The chroma and gamut was exactly the same for the colour shots end to end and the audio was like a single track

Happy to have a coffee the next time I'm in Toronto.

EDIT: Sorry. I posted the wrong video. I updated the URL. Good job it wasn't porn :)

Attention spans being about half a second it's nice to see videos pumping up the jam to suit. No way I want to stare at an image for two seconds.
 
More on-board footage. Give the masses the thrill of being on a bike at stupid lean angles etc. Maybe some degrees of lean angle in the top corner of the screen... maybe some KM/H or track position via GPS?

Lose the "On the back of the bike" bit - 'cause nobody's on the back of the bike except maybe a camera.
The flames in the background of the logo are very old and passé. I work in advertising, and I found the whole flame effect to be way overdone.
I can see you're using it for where commercial cuts would be, but watching it via Youtube or direct stream makes the constant logo/flame flash really annoying.

You've but a ton of work into this, and I really like the concept. Hopefully it works out for you very well!
