IndyCar at Road America on SUPER 8

[@TrailTape]

The audio adds soooo much. I really love this project!

[@curtieson]

Couldn't agree more. The dialog itself is so exceptionally on point to their goal I feel like they ripped it off of an old video and added their shots to match.

[@WarpedYT]

OMG dude where were you? I was at this race filming a pit stop in with the exact opposite of the camera you were using on the same day. That's crazy I wish I woulda knew.... On top of that the car you show at the 50sec Mark was the car that I shot a pit stop in slow motion of, that's crazy what's a coincidence?!?!.

[@NickShirrell]

Warped Perception crazy, I was around on Saturday and Sunday filming all over

[@jayrap94]

This is incredible! It's amazing how a camera and film can make such a difference to the atmosphere of an event!

[@PhilGartman]

I've worked there in the past as a still photographer for a friend's race team. I work purely in digital where filters can be applied to simulate the look and feel of old film stock but there's nothing like the real thing I guess.

[@daveoh13]

what makes this so cool is not just the "announcer" voice-over, but the dialog of that announcing sounds authentically "dated"... bravo!

[@VulcanGamesReal]

Dude, you NEED to go to the NASCAR Throwback race at Darlington this year with this camera. That would be absolutely amazing to watch

[@pentilex4338]

I think they did something like that a little while back

[@stevethompson6371]

Agreed

[@chrishenson4450]

As an advertising creative who has tried like hell for years to find a voice artist who can nail that vintage sports announcer enunciation, pacing and tone, I'm guessing the voiceovers here are authentic audio pulled from old films then matched to the magnificent visuals you've captured. Brilliant work!

[@vindrums]

My thougts exactly! I'm curious about the original film they took this from.

[@NickShirrell]

That’s correct! A combination of audio from a 1958 SCCA race and the 1963 Road America 500

[@vindrums]

@@NickShirrell Absolutely awesome! You did a brilliant job of matching it with the video.

[@kinachahue]

The world seemed less manipulated in the analog days. Nice film and narration is spot on. Groovy.

[@chunkygroove9038]

Super 8 gives everything it touches a feel of gorgeous nostalgia. This was wonderful to watch.

[@mohamedosman4905]

I came from reddit lol But its pretty cool nice job u just earned a sub

[@SmallBlogV8]

Love this! The period-correct narration was a great idea. The lower frame rate makes the cars look even faster, too.

[@TastyChevelle]

This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

[@StigSlashBro]

Oh man please do more! I saw your track day super 8 film as well and loved it

[@37nezy]

Outstanding work

[@djvphotography]

One of the best things I have seen in ages. It really brings back memories.

[@NazbolCaliphDonaldaddeenTrump]

It feels weird to see modern cars on what is clearly an old ass video, nicely done

[@FlyingLapMedia]

Okay, credit where credit is due. Coolest idea I've seen all year in motorsports edits. Well done.

[@masonhoeper9347]

There was a guy who took pictures at an F1 race with a 90s Gameboy camera

[@senior_ranger]

I don't like motor sports, but this is outstanding!!

[@jt.124]

this couldnt be any better.

[@SOROTARA]

Man! As a filmmaker working with 16mm bolex H16 and a longtime F1 and Motorsport fan, this was a joy to watch. Incredible job putting it all together. Awesome!

[@lexus4tw]

Please do more, this is awesome. Maybe come to Europe next year for goodwood, 24h nurburgring or le mans. I think that would be awesome in this vintage style

[@ZeldaA_91]

As someone how loves watching old racing footage (from the 30's to the 70's) and Indycar, this is such a creative and well put together video.

[@miketmbt]

This is kind of amazing. The vintage style makes it much more interesting. Love it

[@stevethompson6371]

Loved this video. Please come to Indy and do this agian. Heck go to ANY IndyCar race.

[@stephensmith7651]

This is something very special indeed. Love it. Keep up the great work.

[@AmpHibious]

I love seeing the vintage cars next to the new cars. So cool.

[@Steez51]

Stunning. Love the announcers and editing.

[@jamesdavies1070]

I like the different perspectives and think this medium gives more impression of the actual speed of these cars than modern cameras does.

[@beroecaaaa]

Incredible work!

[@OzKittyboi]

Blipshift sent me here, and you surely did not disappoint! Classic filmography take on a modern Indycar is a beautiful idea

[@NickShirrell]

Oz Kittyboi I designed the Blipshift shirt from a little while ago of the Lancia Stratos jumping into the moon if you saw that. There’s a good group over at Blipshift

[@1911indi]

So beautiful from a beautiful era, when filming was genuine with true human touch (only) to producing detailed and illustrative videos...gone are those good ol' days when people had morals and made babies instead o wars !!! Thank you Nick !!! Am subscribed after the first 10 seconds for you to keep producing these gems...

[@bhumiriady]

This is super cool and amazing! A perfect combo of nostalgia and modern.

[@tacitblue1973]

Brilliant retro production

[@michaelbrooks1734]

These super 8 videos are awesome

[@asandys5127]

Amazing film. The formal, descriptive narrative really harks back to the mystery and awe surrounding early motor racing. Great!

[@jsiders7935]

So Fantastic!!

[@garrettshepard3392]

This was really well done!

[@samuelsiltamaa5337]

Great video!

[@russotusso1695]

Honestly any old school recording of even modern race will make it cool and better.

[@leutnantobvious4340]

awesome!

[@mikehora1615]

From r/nascar, and this is awesome, Its a little disconnected seeing new cars with footage like this

[@nickcollins3520]

This is the coolest thing I have watched all of 2019, thank you for taking all the time to film and edit this. The narration is fantastic. ❤

[@nioxic77]

that's amazing. honestly. i imagine even a little family party recording, would make it look like it's from the late 60s, even if everyone is sitting with their smartphones

[@sandeepgaurav4900]

You just gained a follower for this masterpiece!

[@Cherry_man1]

I absolutely love this. I hope this stuff blows up big time with it being shared on social media and auto sites

[@strongmentalitydude3553]

Amazing work. Mad respect for you.

[@scottc6086]

This is so fantastic. What would have made it perfect is if it started with the countdown and the quick frame of a woman (followed by the whole class laughing) and the sound of squealing tires with a "Watch out now!" comment

[@laskiscalespecialties3316]

This was fun to watch. Nice work, Nick!

[@freejrs]

Mega work!

[@Serftie]

Looking forward to the F1 version if you will ever make one!

[@angelrobles7201]

It will look awesome, and I would like to watch it. However, the cars' design and liveries are two very big giveaways of the period of the video (That kills a bit of the video's purpose)

[@bencreasey7744]

Just saw this on reddit. So glad I did cos this is great

[@winifredsanderson4532]

I love this just as much as old movies on BluRay and 4K. It's just so curious 🙃

[@ViennaGuy2000]

From a guy a bit older than the camera and born and partially raised in Wisconsin, this is awesome. Would be great if you could add the audio track details in the info box.

[@IFlyPGD]

That was awesome, Nick. Great job!

[@LucDesaulniers1]

Excellent

[@Squirrelmobile74]

I'm certain my wife and I are in the shot of the fans on the hill just north of the Corvette bridge. This is really, really cool! Awesome work!

[@lazier96]

Brilliant editing. Well done!

[@KillScottKill]

So freaking cool. Great work, Nick.

[@tord008]

Now I have to watch Le Mans & Grand Prix movies tonight. Good

[@johnbarker419]

VERY cool!

[@openwheelisthebestandyoukn1206]

Lol I was at this race too, it was crazy. Probably the most 3 days I look forward too besides Indy 500

[@ikymagoo]

love it! nice job!

[@mcrazza]

Oh man, you nailed EVERYTHING, even the narration! Great job! 👍 Please do more videos like this with vintage gear and production. You got a new sub. 🍻

[@grannieannie1371]

This is awesome. I came from Reddit to watch it. I love it, well done and yes you should do an F1 film.

[@StefanKotzeMedia]

Amazing work, changing the whole experience!

[@rudyspring2528]

LOL! I can't believe this attention to detail. Fantastic!

[@kingothesea1]

Great work

[@jamesjenkins7814]

Great video man. The retro commentating is aeesome.

[@manuelsanchez1035]

This is beyond awesome, the audio is perfect, great job!

[@boxysilkworm]

I can still feel the 60s era despite the modern day vehicle's appearance!

[@evog35viii]

Ok... this is awesome. Great job!

[@mpp9964]

Whomever did the narrating deserves some sort of award.

[@Oliveira-mm9no]

Wooow thanks man, I feel great knowing that the dog is not dead!

[@lowcalcannon]

Awesome work, love it!

[@CarFrequency]

This was awesome and I enjoyed every second of it. 👍

[@celtiberian]

10/10. I'll sub in hope for more current events filmed and narrated like that. Keep it up!

[@cavzach]

Wow this is amazing.

[@wf1g]

Subbed in the hope for another masterpiece like this.

[@DougMcDave]

This had me scratching my head; when I saw the digital display from the race car...

[@jonlinen225]

WOW!

[@OnwardSoldier]

This is so amazing. Awesome job.

[@GregScratchley]

BRILLIANT.

[@kwakhru435]

This is awesome

[@JJFDNY]

Well done!

[@GabrielVescovi]

Amazing!

[@Toolsinaction]

EPIC!

[@HancScorpio]

So good!

[@jcjmorenocarlos3304]

A real S8 camera and not an emulation? Awesome!

[@maxpower2377]

I love this so much

[@blackstaticband]

the bright ass green 2017 lamborghini @ 1:35 really took me out of the film ... LOL

[@sandeepgaurav4900]

Time travel😂

[@ninowasaracecardriver7827]

Amazing

[@incubrian]

this is just fantastic!!!!

[@ROCKETRICKYH]

Yes - very familiar look and style of shot, the pans, the zooms - but my dad was a little better at steady hands - don't forget how heavy those cameras where. Given how expensive the film and processing was, you do your best! Excellent commentary voice and accent.

[@F-Man]

I absolutely love this. Please keep it up!

[@Chiefgrizzlybear]

Very cool!

[@Tearolla]

This is art

[@skittlecar1]

This is a great idea!

[@AlonsoRules]

please do more

[@MattyfleischFPV]

so awesome

[@user-sw2er4bv1r]

this is amazing

[@rustyduktape]

Incredible!!! Thank you for this!
