    I had to make a video for a college class of mine.

    It's about a boy, his maverick and "The Box"
    Shot it in a couple of hours, and a few hours editing.

    Tell me what you guys think : )

    Watch it in 720p 24 High Def @ http://www.vimeo.com/888556

    That is the first thing I thought of when I saw it...no real mechanic would drop a ratchet onto a metal part of the car, fender, hood, etc....

    otherwise, pretty cool!:thumbs2:

    Gotta assume that the actor was not a real Maverick mechanic...considering I have NO IDEA what he was ratcheting on on the left front side of the motor...:hmmm:

    Nice work. My 7 year old was looking at it and said cool, I see something with Star Wars on it and walked off. A few seconds later and he might have jumped.

    The kid was my friends younger brother, and he doesn't work on cars.

    It looked and sounded bad when the ratchet hit the fender, but it was ok : )
    Theres already plenty of dents and scratches on it to notice anyway :rolleyes:

    I didn't want him messing with too much stuff, so I just had him simulate the ratcheting.

    I thought the clip was very good. Even with the camera technology you have at your disposal you far beat out some of Ron Howards first clips.
