Event Coverage The Villain A/Fuel dragster video from dragstalgia 2021 UK

Shot some bits at dragstalgia this year, I know nothing about drag racing at all- spotted this car and fell in love. The crew were a good laugh whilst I was taking some photos, asked if I could follow them through to film prep and fire up, amazingly they said yes- so this is the outcome of that.

It was my second time "out" in full kit wanker style with the camera gear. Not used to trying to photo or video moving things, lumps of metal around the workshop sit nice and still whilst I faff about.

Looking forward to getting to some more events, trying some more stuff out. Already have a couple video opps in the pipe line too, so hoping to learn and improve.

All feedback welcome, constructive criticism would be ideal.



some stills from the day too

You captured it spot on, Thanks for sharing.

 

You did good.

 

Hell yeah!!!

If I had a complaint, it would be I just want more.

Yes, you did an outstanding job with both video and stills.

 

Not bad but the cuts were very extreme from one scene to the next.

 

Very nice. The sad part is the Villain is no more. Crashed beyond repair and the engine is for sale.

 

Thanks for the feedback guys, sadly the car didn’t make a pass so I didn’t get to film a run. Would have been the icing on the cake that.

yeh I heard, massive shame. Do you know what happened? I assume the driver got out ok?

 

Yessir driver was ok, he scrubbed the wall hard after the finish line and bent the chassi.

 

Wow that must have been a scary moment for sure! I must have just shot the car before it ran and crashed. Was it at dragstalgia or an even shortly following?
