In case you haven’t guessed, yes, automotive videos are our specialty. By and large, we are usually asked to cover racing events. There’s no story board...nothing. As a result, we typically go for the artistic shot and add in some music.
We’ve done road rallies, drag racing, road racing and canyon run videos for a wide range of clients.
Something unique to us is the type of cameras we use. We have 8 High Definition cameras of the “bullet type.” These little bad boys produce video in full HDV quality...1920 x 1080 canvass size with superb color. They go anywhere...we’ve attached them in many compromising positions.
VIDEOS:
This video is a fair example of the capabilities of these high definition cameras.

GOLD RUSH, THE DVD
Another over land road rally. Client contracted us to cover their rally...on a shoestring budget...for three days. Working with a chase car and an assistant camera operator, the two of us were able to capture the spirit of the event to the client’s satisfaction. No easy feat, considering that the convoy of cars was spread out over 20 miles during the 800 mile road trip.
RUNWAY TITANS, THE DVD
Ok....dilemma. What happens when a client comes to you and says “We want you to film our cars doing 200 mph on a runway...but we only have 2 hours. Oh, and I need to show some hot girls as part of the video so I can sell a cool DVD. Oh, and our budget is modest?” We made it work...and enjoyed every minute of it. Here is a trailer for the DVD.

This is what the client ultimately approved and released.

I have a confession...I love car show videos. These are built with one purpose: pander to the YouTube audience to procure views. In this case, our client (StreetFire.net) insists that pretty girls, music and hot cars is the recipe for a successful video. Hey, the client is always right.

This clip was put together in an evening following the So Cal Euro event, filmed in four hours with one camera.

The original Ken Block Gymkhana video procured 27,000,000 views on YouTube alone. We were invited to film the Premier of the sequel...I know, I know...a “Premier” for a web video? The actual video they launched had a $125,000 budget and took 2 weeks to film.

A good example of a low budget, talking head, “interview” video. All the extra footage was from my High Definition library.
SEMA Teaser #2 from Craig Lieberman on Vimeo.
A fun little video for No Fear. Shot at the AMA Moto X event May 22, 2009.

Tanner Foust “Tribute” Video
Had some extra footage and a few hours to play around, so I put this together:

This video was put together from a compilation of miscellaneous clips captured at a race track outing.
GTR BATTLE: The Movie from Craig Lieberman on Vimeo.
A little trailer for the above video.
GTR BATTLE USA:Trailer from Craig Lieberman on Vimeo.
Originally shot just for fun, this video developed into a teaser for a Paul Walker television show.
Gravity Masters from Craig Lieberman on Vimeo.
Shot with handheld cameras while out with some friends, this was as much a practice session for a pending road rally as anything else.
L4P Sunday Fun Run from Craig Lieberman on Vimeo.
A good example of trying to make something from nothing. Drag racing is the most boring sport on earth to watch. In the absence of any worthwhile interviews or storyline, this video had little choice but to become a music video with a contrived plot.
GTR vs The World from Craig Lieberman on Vimeo.
Shot as a tribute to the guy featured in the video, I chose a “Matrix” theme for this little race day piece. I don’t know what compelled me to go down that path, but here it is nonetheless.
