Honda has been known for a couple things, it's performance super car the
Acura NSX, the
S2000 convertible and it's
Type-R branded vehicles. I remember back in the days, ricer cars would put Type-R badges to feel special... But owning an actual
Type-R was something special. You get suburb suspension, a high revving motor, and decent horsepower. Now Honda has confirmed that it is ending production of it's
Honda Civic Type-R 4 door vehicle. The Civic Si is the closest thing we had to the Type-R since Integra. There's no word if another Civic Type R is in the works, especially with Honda's larger focus on hybrid cars taking up most of the research and development money.
We found a
Honda Civic video that caught our eye on
YouTube. This wasn't any ordinary
car video. The camera movements were very smooth and blended with the music really well. It made a seemingly ordinary modified Honda Civic to something unforgettable. The slow camera pans created a mood.
After reading the comments we discovered the
IndiSLIDERMini by
Studio 4 Productions was used to create this effect. The slider has become very popular among indie filmmakers making it easy to create what is often referred to as a "
reveal shot". A reveal shot is where the camera is positioned close behind an object then smoothly slid over to reveal a more expansive view.
The
indiSLIDERmini is a complete camera sliding system that has an integral camera mount and is light enough to attach directly to a tripod head.
With a starting price of $99, the indiSLIDERmini is the most affordable slider. The slider would add more dimensions and variety to our car video projects. We decided to purchase the
indiSLIDERmini DELUXE.
Stay tuned for a
KWIKFILMS full length review of the
indiSLIDERmini DELUXE.
