Filming James May's Alpine A110 | Behind the scenes

[@viper28793]

Can I just say, that's a ton of work that you guys had to do for 7 minute video. I don't think most of us appreciate how much work it takes to make good content. Kudos to you and the team!

[@paradoxofgodexisting]

You should see how filming a movie looks like... Imagine working for 12h a day for 2-4 months for 90 minute "video". And its more physical and chaotic. Of course, some movies take more than that to film and some take less, but 12h shift is standard, it becomes your whole life for a long time and for a lot of people, the crew is massive usually. It pays good, tho!

[@bjuncek]

Happy to see sponsors around here - really hope Lucy’s channel takes off - it’s a lot of fun

[@robdavy4468]

I'm so glad that "paddock jacket" line made it into the final piece!

[@andydufresne8034]

James, Lucy, and Mike have a likeable chemistry between them and a lot of talent. Lucy and Mike certainly have bright futures and cool careers ahead of them with this mentorship and the connections they're making. And then they will become the mentors.

[@b.willroth8384]

If I may say so: Your videos are getting better and better every time. It’s really fun to not only follow your work but to see how you grow confidence in front of the camera yourself. Excited for the next one.

[@kat13man]

Behind the scenes is more like a traveling minstrel show than a car show. Fascinating.

[@ustauk3552]

To whoever did the drone shots, nice work. Too many people do drones shots in static way alone, and relatively low to the ground, but the drone pilot actually did some very wide angle, higher altitude shots keeping up with the car at speed; that's the thing you normally only see from a helicopter shot. Well done!

[@chrishalemusic]

I enjoy the Lucy BTS vids about as much as the main video. May is my fav anyway and I like the banter they have

[@mlautens]

25 people clicked dislike on this video and for the life of me, I can’t fathom why. What could someone possibly dislike here? Great work as always by Lucy and the Drivetribe crew. I love seeing the process as I’d already watched (and enjoyed) the finished video. The Alpine is a lovely car and I recall when James reviewed it on the Grand Tour.

[@aaronkastriotiseni1406]

I didn't click dislike, but please enlighten me a little bit, which part was interesting??

[@mlautens]

@@aaronkastriotiseni1406 How the elements of the finished video were shot completely different from the sequence they were presented in during the final product. They had compensated for the change in lighting, I think, as I didn’t catch on that some bits shown earlier were actually filmed around 5:30. The fact that James was working off a script. It didn’t seem like memorized dialogue to me when I watched it. The efforts to coordinate shots between traffic was also interesting, I’ve often wondered where they find all the empty roads to shoot on. Off the top of my head, those were some bits I found interesting in this BTS video. Glad you didn’t click dislike! :)

[@kevinakling]

Great job Lucy! So much work for an 11 minute video. Crazy, but the vid was great!

[@suehirogaribright]

What a lovely, kind smile James puts on his face while talking to Lucy (also to others I suppose). Nice chemistry you guys cultivating at DT.

[@MartynStanleyAuthor]

I like the drone shots, some beautiful countryside around there.

[@HankAaronJoseph19]

Top notch as always Lucy Brown

[@jannyman5670]

Great work as always Lucy! It's nice seeing BTS shoots

[@pjithmanyu]

Lucy the hardwork of you and your team paid off . I saw the video and loved it.

[@thecompanioncube4211]

I can't believe you did the whole shoot in one day. The resulting video is phenomenal

[@ecopennylife]

Watched the drivetribe film, amazing how much work goes in behind the scenes 😍

[@PjFoxx]

I like Lucy she a star 🌟 in her own right only just started watching this love it

[@ChangingAperture]

That instrument was really neat! I didn’t know I needed that in my life but now I really do!!

[@tomwakefield474]

I loved the final output for the Alpine - very pleased to see this behind the scenes! :-) ... I've been experimenting with attaching cameras to cars for work but keep getting micro-jitters (with other names too I'm sure) ... maybe sitting in the boot is the best plan - what is the Boot Harness you use? ... and is it 'legal'? (answering that is optional lol)

[@logicreversed18t]

Wow. Lucy scoring a sponsored video. Movin' on up.

[@varmint243davev7]

I am enjoying watching Lucy's continuing progression !

[@reitsmaassociates]

Thanks for this bonus little behind the scenes - a real treat Lucy . Cheers from Brisbane (the car is very cool too, nicely captured)

[@peterskorec8246]

There is this guy on KZbin called Tom Mathews and he did this popular series called GearKnobs which is basically Topgear recorded in a GTAV and it is amazing. James should react to that. That would be awesome and Tom who is a fan would be probably happy to 😂! Make that happen Lucy

[@ManuelDornbusch]

great inside on what fills a long work day

[@lupislune]

I love these vids! You guys have such a good team.

[@bobritter7197]

There's a good chance you have the best job in the world & you clearly deserve it. Excellent video, hope you'll have the time to keep doing them. 👍

[@shannono8397]

great video, the Alpine is such a stunning car~

[@javezkeith2537]

Videos just get better and better. Thanks for the Skills Share link 👍

[@laura02665]

your behind the scenes videos keep getting better, love them

[@waltertomashefsky2682]

One good thing about doing a video pieces with James is that you’ll never need to spend money for a hair stylist on the production crew.

[@trossk]

I wish the we could get cars like that in the U.S.

[@sil3nt9]

Love the videos Lucy! Keep em coming

[@jrd7307]

Cinematography top class as always👌

[@0farmerjohn0]

James looks like a very nice guy to work with.

[@thecompanioncube4211]

He really is the nicest of them three. He's the top bloke I's like to have a beer with

[@OLCTrigga]

great video Lucy, glad you've got a sponsor!

[@jamesonpace726]

Wow, I knew it was hard to make it look so easy, but 10 hours, 6 people, 3 cars, cameras, drones & traffic too...?

[@jaybird0312]

I'd like to see a video about how Lucy and Mike and the crew came to be and came to meet James. Livin one of many of my dreams. I love James!

[@Virtual065]

when watching drivetribe i feel like I'm watching the grand tour with better editing big claps to you and the other camera guys and claps to the editor for being great

[@acdcbackyardbabies]

Have to say as a fan of all things MG Rover, I thoroughly approve of the tracking car!

[@shannono8397]

agree, it is so nice looking!

[@biboKralle]

7:49 OMG!! I had a 1-Series which looked EXACTLY(!!!) like that one! Dang! Made my heart frown for a moment there. I mean, I can't complain, now I drive a Model 3 Performance that beats the crap out of the 1-Series in every way possible but yeah....

[@mdboatbum]

Seems just yesterday you were worrying about feeling more natural in front of the camera. And here you are rocking it!! Congrats on the hard work paying off!!

[@albertpartridge6716]

we should start a i like Lucy fan club

[@Lordvader330]

Lucy love to see you come out to f your shell. These are fantastic behind the scenes vids! Thanks for the good work.

[@adcatman]

Hi Lucy. Thanks for sharing what it takes to make quality content. Take care. Andy...

[@777VIV]

Lucy this is a top vid!!!

[@brynwright8654]

Started a Skillshare course in music production using your link. Not completely sure it's something I am wholeheartedly invested in but the point is that I hope it helps support your channel :)

[@DannerPlace]

I really enjoy these videos...

[@shutterflyboy85]

I love these segments. Great production. I can't but help seeing chanter-playing-James May as Aqualung playing the flute as Ian Anderson (not to be confused with Gerry & Sylvia Anderson and Thunderbird 2-National Media Museum, Bradford)

[@AcheForWake]

Has one of these pass me the other day, nice looking car from the front and back :-)

[@telkirton]

Nice work/video all...

[@shaddapushaddap]

Bloody hell, Mike has got a talent, he can play a flute.

[@caseyscales2087]

Love the editing and fun tunes :)

"I'm ready to come again" A brief insight into James May pillow talk

[@duckhive]

"You have a script??" lol

[@unusedaccount6200]

Great BTS as always. Beautiful drone shots. What model is that? Have a DJI Mini 2, still trying to figure out how to get shots that look 1/10th as nice as this!

[@clockwork9827]

did the hairpin shot make it in ?

[@phuketexplorer]

I'd prefer the 'trusty production MG'! :-))

[@yup3398]

These always have a very Scott Brown Carpentry vibe to them. Which is a compliment.

[@HenryBrooke1998]

Yes! This is what I was waiting for.

[@Czechbound]

"I'm ready to come again". James May, Sept 2021

[@bowserusc]

Hey Lucy, it's been amazing watching you grow and develop as a KZbin personality. I really enjoy the view you give us of the Drivetribe team. Keep up the great work!

[@IOwnThisHandle]

I can't stop noticing how often you move your hands.

[@d.rodrickeamon6133]

Here in the Big D area, we have a quite nice town named "Royal Oak." I'm wondering just how old the pub is. Could our little town be named after the pub? Or, were both named because of King George's sanctuary tree back in 1660? Most likely, there was this tree... "Its large branches reminded Cass of the legend of the royal oak tree, under which King Charles II of England took sanctuary from enemy forces in 1660. Cass and his companions christened the tree, the "Royal Oak." And so Royal Oak received its name."

[@ilovelimpfries]

Basically a top gear review segment but on a budget.

[@pphaneuf]

Is that a BMW M140i with the production car while doing the drive-by shots?

[@happyhermit2022]

Really interesting thank you 👍

[@BobAxiom]

First sponsor? Congrats Lucy Brown! Is that for you personally? Or is that a company sponsor?

[@PACKYCSONE80]

A Bit of OUTLANDER there!

[@Mike_5]

It needs a laddish sticker on the rear bumper saying 'Suck my exhaust pipe'

[@trounormands]

I love the floral shirt... What brand is it please ?

[@g00dfeeling]

Cool MG

[@Nixontheman]

Was that a dolly zoom?! 👍

[@grahamross6397]

Ah, the paddock jacket jibe was a good one. Jacket wins the pipe-off though. +1

[@josephsmith6710]

Does drive tribe make a profit or is it a hobby

[@orange70383]

Very cool'

[@TheEducator89]

Wow! Why was Matthew Perry from Friends helping you at 9:41

[@JDR1971]

That Silk Cut Jaguar jumper is tragic!

[@almericussaxon8023]

Did NOT get a notification for this!

[@chippy519]

Do you watch the car trek video’s Lucy?

[@Jomor44]

At first I thought he was Robert Plant.

[@ashleycullen.933]

Car named after a road going through Enfield can never be a god thing.

[@ozas258]

your videos are very enjoyable but question: is it possible to ask the trio a quesiton somehow on any platform?

[@MKSportscarsofficial]

What camera do you use? And what camera does that guy use for the actual shots of the car?? Thanks👍🏻

[@JeanMaximeCorneille]

She sings!

[@robertdevisser9307]

What camera for the B-rolls?

[@alexanderseibert6599]

This jacket.. Purple and green.

[@CDalsgaard]

How is no one talking about the mic check at 1:59?

[@imraan2320]

Is there a behind the scenes for the behind the scenes

[@ADMSvare]

I hate playing "Fairy Dance." You do play it well, though, Mike.

[@romainthblt]

"He´s there" "Roger Roger"

[@sianwarwick633]

Go go go. Hilarious

[@numlockkilla]

Everyone hated that car, but I like it. With a supercharger I bet it would be very nice.

[@clivejones1888]

who needs a supercharger … that’s not what it’s about … it’s for driving on public roads … stunning

[@SE-be5sp]

❤❤❤

[@ndupontnet]

Gosh I miss my ZTT

[@luffyduy9227]

Hi Lucy. Can you make subtitles in any sort of mumbling words that people in DriveTribe said? I know you have done that in some parts but I think that's not enough. Cause as a non-native English speaker, I find it really hard to keep track. Or maybe I am not familiar with the British accent. If that's the case, just ignore this comment. Thank you very much!!!

[@jagvette1]

James, there is another pub for you to buy !!, since when did an Al Pine become a Al Peen or is the correct way the French pronounce it ?

[@bristolbornandbred4591]

Alpine to me all day long alpeen blaugh

[@jagvette1]

@Paul Fellows I will bow to your superior knowledge of French as mine is very limited, from now on I will pronounce it alpeen, I wonder if the call the tree a peen tree 🌲 or a pine tree.

[@jagvette1]

@@bristolbornandbred4591 I too find it strange but I do like to pronounce names correctly such as ‘Porsche A ‘not porsch .

[@floppydisk1984]

best practice: a) watch a video and then b) watch another video about how the first one was made

[@gregdankert]

The Alpine looks like a TT is some shots (a better looking TT)

[@Jake-nb2ts]

the sound levels are a bit strange

[@nathankluwak1909]

Soooooo jealous Europeans get this car. This would be an insta-buy if I wasn't in canada 😭

[@a_single_white_female]

So many people here in North America have such shit taste in cars. Everyone just wants an SUV because it is "high up". No one has any concept of what actually makes a vehicle good to drive, they just follow trends blindly and enjoy nothing. The only pleasure is the status symbol for them.

[@clockwork9827]

i wonder how much the import would be

[@willadams9001]

Unscripted Mike is better than scripted Mike
