A Short Film about a Car Guy

  • This is a project I've always wanted to do - my first short film!
    It's about how cars make us feel, how they make all the problems of everyday life vanish when we press the loud pedal.
    By the way, no. I'm not getting divorced. This was just an idea I got from another video, seemed like an interesting storyline.

    I can relate to this! Although I've only got a humble Mazda6 and don't drive as quite as enthusiasticly as Mick, I still find that an aimless drive on some good roads with my fave tunes is pretty much the most thereputic activity I can think of!
    Driving for 25 years and it's always helped to clear my mind!

    I think it's a combination of the adrenaline as well as the concentration required that makes it so effective at forgetting all the shit one may have going on in their life's at the moment.
    No think, just drive.
    Stay safe!

    Very cool video. I love the fact there was no speech just music and storytelling visually. The little shots of you smiling tell the most information; other circumstance aside, you can still have a great experience and enjoy yourself with your car.

    One of the nicest drives I had was when I was driving home from my friend's place at around maybe 10-11:00 p.m.?
    I wasn't going to fast for fear of deer, but I was trying to be as spirited as I could. Just me, my car, and the empty road ahead. It was such a beautiful feeling.

    Clear story Mick & nice filming 🔥 I'm currently a learner driver (sorry!), but would love to learn more about how to best experience cars. I'd love to hear your journey on learning about cars and any tips you have for a beginner like me. Specifically:
    1. How did you initially get into cars and learn about them?
    2. What aspects of car knowledge do you suggest tackling first, and in what order? I'm keen on everything from driving safely/ better on regular roads to eventually diving into track driving.
    I know it's a super broad question, but would really appreciate your advice.

      @MickDrivesCars  8 місяців тому +1

      I actually have a video in the works at the moment along the lines of ''how to be a car guy'', just not 100% sure on exactly what it will be.
      As for Q2... I honestly have no idea. If you're a car person you'll just naturally watch videos/read articles about anything and everything. I could tell you what parts to put on an RB26 to make x power WAY before I could drive...

    • @MidnightGreen4649
