Go Karting miniaturely and timely

Two weeks ago, I went to Eastern Creek to film and photograph some of my friends Go Karting. They did ask me to race as well, but I couldn’t take up this chance of playing with my camera and… well, AUD$160 for 3 sessions is quite steep!

Eastern Creek is far out west in Sydney… and for me, it’s like going to a different country… out west is very different. If you ever go, remember to bring a baseball bat! I remember a few years ago, after a paintball session, my group of friends and I hanged out at a carpark and we were questioned by police on why we’re there. Again, out West, everyone’s seen as dodgy.

The day was quite hot so most of the time, I just kept my camera on a tripod shooting and me in the shade.

Here’s the film:

The miniature effect was done in post with After Effects and the slow motion was conformed to 24fps from filming 60fps. This is the first time I tried both effects. Overall, I think it doesn’t look too bad. Hopefully one day, I can film at other locations on the track or even mount a helmet came so I can bring some hardcore karting action.

Here’s some photos of the day, for the full album, I’m most likely going to place on my personal Facebook page. Don’t hesitate to search my name and friend me if you like what I do.

Dave. Cause walking away from the camera makes you uber cool.

Is that the STIG?!

At the end of the day, Dave came 2nd in like 20 racers and he clocked the FASTEST LAP at i think 46 seconds. That’s FAST! Vince was 4th overall and I dunno, Will somewhere near the end?Visit us at: http://www.bernardlau.com.au
