The 5 sec of key turn to the needle sweep start-up is a great lead-in to the 'action' shots! And love the suction mount shots from outside, esp from the LHS 3/4 panel. Looking forward to the whole clip

That looks brilliant. 10 times more professional than the 'convince your better half' adds. You should sell it to skoda when your done What camera are you using? Something like the go pro mtotorsport hero?

Yeah just borrowed a mates new GoPro, I mean i dont need any high res for youtube so can get away with it a bit. Some of it was taken with my Sony V1 , a Sony HC7 with wide angle lens, and the GoPro. I'm going to buy some more suction cup mounts so i can play with more angles, and I'm looking at buying a contour HD helmet cam soon, but am saving up for a Sony MC1 lipstick cam - true High def wide screen helmet cam - very nice bit of kit.

I need to get the wfe to drive around a bit in some nice twisty road sections and I'll take the footage from the side of the road, also need to get a mate to come give me a hand and i'll do some shots driving beside the Skoda, shooting out the side of my van. Will most probably change the clip a little, maybe even re-shooting some of the clips. Will look at putting in some actual audio of the car too, see if i can isolate the turbo whine a little.

Ahh having with the Skoda

Really good job Dazag, they do try to appeal to the 'thinker' when it comes to Volkswagen advertising but they tend to lose sight of the fact that a huge part of the decision is emmotive. Think of how successful Zoom Zoom Zoom has been, they are behind in environmental specs, technology and build quality ,cost around the same and we really havent made substantial in roads on this section of the market as yet.

Some emmotive TV adds on the RS, Superb and Octavia II before the Yeti arrives just to get into peoples conscious would be great. They may need to look at something for TV, not to overload people with but just a little somehting to remain in the psyche

That aside though i would love to see the finished product of this and to show it head office marketing if that is okay with you DAZAG?

I think that you need to let people to roadtest these cars more. One of my customer asked me what car to buy and I said him take Skoda for roadtest, he got the car for 2days and he bought it (Commodore driver who needed big boot or cargo area). He was glad of my suggestion.

Get these cars out, so people can drive them! The best form of advertising IMO.

Gr8 vid mate! Very inspiring. Reminds me of the Top Gear episode when they had to do tv add for a golf.

Sorry to correct, but it was a Scirocco and yes that ep was SO funny! James was very, very angry at Jeremy

The GoPro camera are awesome for their price. I few guys I race go-karts with use them. I am hoping Santa brings me one for xmas

Yeah GoPro's are good for their money, I mean the wide angle is good, and the ease of transfering the footage across to the Mac, but I really like having good quality resolution which the GoPro isn't too bad, but not DVD quality. You may not see the quality difference between the camera's but watching it on TV is very noticeable.

If I had the cash, a Sony MC1 helmet cam would be in my camera bag for sure. I might hire one to get some good quality footage similar to what i took with the GoPro.

Ahhh, I need to work out what other footage I'm going to get and get it finished......

Would be interesting to see what Head office Marketing thinks...........
