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

[@daveoh13]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@SmallBlogV8]

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

[@StigSlashBro]

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

[@Allen_K9]

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.

[@djvphotography]

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

[@stevethompson6371]

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

[@TastyChevelle]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@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...

[@miketmbt]

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

[@Steez51]

Stunning. Love the announcers and editing.

[@mohamedosman4905]

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

[@37nezy]

Outstanding 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

[@jamesdavies1070]

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

[@stephensmith7651]

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

[@beroecaaaa]

Incredible work!

[@samuelsiltamaa5337]

Great video!

[@senior_ranger]

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

[@asandys5127]

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

[@AmpHibious]

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

[@bhumiriady]

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

[@jsiders7935]

So Fantastic!!

[@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

[@freejrs]

Mega work!

[@garrettshepard3392]

This was really well done!

[@michaelbrooks1734]

These super 8 videos are awesome

[@Cherry_man1]

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

[@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. ❤

[@leutnantobvious4340]

awesome!

[@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!

[@jt.124]

this couldnt be any better.

[@strongmentalitydude3553]

Amazing work. Mad respect for you.

[@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!

[@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

[@mikehora1615]

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

[@sandeepgaurav4900]

You just gained a follower for this masterpiece!

[@laskiscalespecialties3316]

This was fun to watch. Nice work, Nick!

[@johnbarker419]

VERY cool!

[@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

[@lazier96]

Brilliant editing. Well done!

[@bencreasey7744]

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

[@ikymagoo]

love it! nice job!

[@LucDesaulniers1]

Excellent

[@russotusso1695]

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

[@tacitblue1973]

Brilliant retro production

[@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. 🍻

[@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.

[@KillScottKill]

So freaking cool. Great work, Nick.

[@rudyspring2528]

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

[@winifredsanderson4532]

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

[@jamesjenkins7814]

Great video man. The retro commentating is aeesome.

[@manuelsanchez1035]

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

[@kingothesea1]

Great work

[@openwheelisthebestandyoukn1206]

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

[@tord008]

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

[@mpp9964]

Whomever did the narrating deserves some sort of award.

[@lowcalcannon]

Awesome work, love it!

[@grannieannie1371]

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

[@cavzach]

Wow this is amazing.

[@JJFDNY]

Well done!

[@evog35viii]

Ok... this is awesome. Great job!

[@jonlinen225]

WOW!

[@Oliveira-mm9no]

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

[@kwakhru435]

This is awesome

[@Toolsinaction]

EPIC!

[@StefanKotzeMedia]

Amazing work, changing the whole experience!

[@GabrielVescovi]

Amazing!

[@HancScorpio]

So good!

[@OnwardSoldier]

This is so amazing. Awesome job.

[@celtiberian]

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

[@CarFrequency]

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

[@Chiefgrizzlybear]

Very cool!

[@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)

[@incubrian]

this is just fantastic!!!!

[@GregScratchley]

BRILLIANT.

[@buggsdummy]

this is epic!

[@skittlecar1]

This is a great idea!

[@jcjmorenocarlos3304]

A real S8 camera and not an emulation? Awesome!

[@boxysilkworm]

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

[@ninowasaracecardriver7827]

Amazing

[@wf1g]

Subbed in the hope for another masterpiece like this.

[@maxpower2377]

I love this so much

[@lonniekane2036]

Sweet Veido Dave

[@DougMcDave]

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

[@Tearolla]

This is art

[@MattyfleischFPV]

so awesome

[@rustyduktape]

Incredible!!! Thank you for this!

[@user-sw2er4bv1r]

this is amazing

[@yuhyuh5012]
