How about being placed in situation with an empty airstrip, hundreds of rolling video cameras, an ALMS driver Nathan Swartzbaugh at your disposal, and an Audi R8 5.2 FSI waiting to be let loose? It might be discouraging you through fear and at the same time would fill you through the excitement to ask such a question.
The obvious course of action in such a situation would be to roll the cameras and have Swartzbaugh behind the wheel of the R8, and say, “go!” However, it is harder than what it looks. The production work along with the preparation, the shooting requires one to put in the hard work that is more than enough to make the heads of those who knows nothing about production reel faster than a jacked-up carousel.
Even the folks over at WebRidesTV, to shoot the whole footage, they took close to an entire day by tacking together a 30-second spot of a supercar blasting along an airstrip. One must thank these guys for all this hard work they have done throughout the day, what with the preparation, the shooting, and the production work that they have to do.
All so as to enable us to watch the action unravel in front of us. We just wait for the final product and watch it as soon as they have done with it. That’s the easiest part of the job.
