The Ice Driver Project III

Here’s an edit of the final footage. You can see a hi res version on SmugMug here. The learning curve for me as a first time user of Apple Final Cut Studio was a steep one and thanks go to various people for their help and advice in getting me up there. Most notable being Graham Fox at The Flash Centre and Canon for helping put the idea together and for trusting me to bring back their gear in one piece. For the edit, Final Cut expert Dave Hackney provided virtually a constant stream of email advice from his iPhone and together with advice from colleagues on the excellent Pro Imaging Membership List we figured the workflow.

When I have time, I’ll put together an edit showing how we did it and how the camera was rigged, plus some notes on what worked, what didn’t and what we plan for the future on the back of this idea. Finally, thanks to professional driver and my mate Andy McKenna, the man whose creativity behind the wheel you see here.

About Neill

Neill Watson is a professional photographer and writer. His childhood love of cars, driving, aviation and flying has never abated. This was added to in his college years by his draughtsman teacher who instilled an interest in architecture and building design. If you love the sound of the Cosworth V8 as much as the V12 Merlin, the smell of Jet A1 as much as Castrol R and admire the late Ray Hanna as much as Sir Stirling, you’ll find you’re both on the same page
