Thanks for taking the video, cool to see some of the stuff since I wasn't able to go this year.

But critques...the camera work was horrid, and the image had no contrast. washed out.

Thanks for sharing. The zero emissions cars were my favorite part. That was cool.

Great video! I appreciate you taking your time to make this and share with us.

And despite what the professional camera guy said, I thought you did a fine job of filming the cars and putting the video together.

Thanks for sharing the video. I wanted to go this past weekend but the wife was sick, and she always insists on accompanying even though she's not a car chick . for this weekend!

danny5198

yeah seriously, I thought it was okay... it's sort of hard to film these cars at close range with people walking around everywhere. I think Dodge Challenger's are horid but I'm not going to tell him thatdoes he want his money back or the 6 minutes it took to watch the video?

What was okay about super jerky handheld work? The fact that your zoom motor looks like its on the fritz? The complete lack of composition? The fact that it looked like a 7 generation old VHS tape?

I was happy to see the cars and thanked you as such...but I'm not going to sugar coat a turd. It was below amateur.

Ok. Its youtube, I'm not trying to sell DVD's and earn a living. I do appreciate some constructive criticism but all your doing is chirping. That's the camera I have and I make it work. My camera does not have a zoom motor, only optical so you don't know it all and I don't believe 720p resolution was found on a 7 generation old VHS tape. Thanks for stopping by sir.

I do know that a zoom lacking a motor isnt called "only optical" And damn are your hands jerky if you can't make a semi smooth zoom with just your hand.

Thats kinda point genius...your images looked like washed out, contrastless, coloress shite.

Can someone show this guy the door? I'm done with you dude...your a 31 year old Challenger owner arguing on an Acura forum with a 20 year old...If I were 31 I'd be banging my wife right now.

sheer genius

Keep it on topic, please.

Back on topic......to the OP, are there any concepts worth seeing at NAIAS? I personally wanted to check out the Honda Civic concepts, those look hot.

danny5198

Civic concept was a beauty... It's in my terrible quality video @3:05. Everyone had some pretty sweet looking concepts but they were either behind ropes or up on platforms, couldn't get close. Mercedes as well with some wacky ones, but nothing really from BMW. All in all, after looking at about 20 cars it seems like they borrowed styling features and looks from each other. Good show, but I dont know if it would be worth the drive from Cleavland... I think i stayed about an hour and a half.

The video gets me excited for the Kansas City Car Show next month....

neuronbob

I assure you, it is worth the drive from Cleveland every year. Even though the Cleveland Auto Show is one of the largest (it's occasionally in the top five) by attendance in the country, we get NO major reveals. Those are saved for LA, Detroit, Chicago, and NYC. Boooo!
