I have my money on the 240, I like the control of the car and smoke.The music and editing was good(better than me).

the Rx7 needs to work on the control, the editing was good, and the music was ok. its very interesting video but ill go with 240sx

this isn't about the drifting..its about the video editing mainly..the qaulity.

Actually, it's about the video. If you feel the drifting makes up for the editing, and vice versa, just vote which one you think is better.

How you judge the "better" portion, is up to you and determines how you personally vote.

I'm not asking for an analysis of which drift is better, or which edit is better. I'm just asking for which video you think is better.

Good luck,

AO

Lense flare got my vote!

 

[Div is back]

On both the music sucked from my point of view, the Mazda on was tolerable but the music in the 240 video ended my experience prematuraly. So my vote is to the Mazda.

My entry was a joke compared to the other two. I can see why it didn’t make it.

I have to say both were awesome but…

Editing wise, the S14 took it. The video sure does show how much time the person spent making it (IDM intro…).

Drifting wise, both were good but personally I think the FD took it. The person showed feinting a lot which I like and some linking which I also like.

Overall my voting goes to the FD, drifting over editing. 👍

I'm going to go with the nissan because it had good creativity, production value, and for the most part an effective use of effects.

 

[HammerShot]

The Mazda Certainly had better drifting, and was a good video. The Nissan however, was much more of a "FUN" video. So for me when it comes down to which "video" was better I had to go with the Nissan. Props to the Mazda Driver for some very nice drifting tho. 👍

 

[rickjames]

i loved the 240 had nice editing and good smooth drifts

 

[extreme car]

I choose Nissan more because the editing fits the music and has a better drifting.👍

 

[Naticon]

240 video was sweet!!!
editing - 8/10
music - 4/10
driving - 8/10

overall - sweet


i have to agree the rx-7 had better car control.

 

[sunce]

RX-7, video is the one i'll go with

What TRi said, the editing on the 240 video just gave a better flow to it. My vote went for the 240 Vid.

 

[yokomoaus]

the music in both the songs dosent suit a drift vid imo. I'll go with the RX7 vid for those sweet drift lines 👍

 

[Drifter5]

Editing goes to the 240sx hands down, but i prefer the RX-7 video more because it has more control and the song was alot more understandable, i cant hear a word that they are saying in the 240sx one. So the RX-7 got my vote.

 

[eddieturner2002]

I voted to the S14. It seemed to me the FD had too much power and grip and I even prefered the drifting of the S14 too.

 

[Funkshen]

My vote goes with the RX-7, outstanding drifting by his behalf (some corners a little shaky, but great all the same), his editing was not upto the S14's standard, but im more a fan of greater drifting than editing (even though, this competition was not just about the drifting)

The S14, great great vid man, enjoyed very much, outstanding editing, great drifting also 👍

 

[$u!$l!d3]

Well what can i say both vids were briliant but if the rx7 driver put the same effort in to his editing he would have won my vote but as he didnt i have to go with the s14 real nice btw both vids were superb and good luck on the voting guys.

 

[Boogieman]

I went with the Nissan . . it's more fun to watch!

 

[sn00pie]

Though I enjoyed the Mazda RX-7 video, I decided to vote for the Nissan 240 video. The visuals seem much more in sync with the music, and I'm quite fond of the FFWD in-car shots.

Well done!

 

[ForcedInduction]

i'm more of a skills in drifting person than a skills in editting. my vote goes to rx7 👍

 

[SPM88]

Both were great videos, great drifting. The S14's editiing was better than the RX7's but my vote goes to the RX7.

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

Wow, tough competition. The way I looked at it was this, if I were to purchase a drift video, which one would I feel happier about buying, and deserved my money more. RX7 got my vote. 👍 Good luck to both.

Sorry, this thread is closed.

There has been a bit of confusion. I had a video submitted that was originally for a critique, and it slipped through the cracks.

So I'm going to set things straight.

There will be a new thread opening, that has a revised poll with the third video.

Sorry guys. To save my bandwidth a bit, if you've reviewed the first two, please just download the third one.

Thanks,

AO
