Thank you, gentlemen! Videography is a hobby (and occasional business) for me, so I try to put it to use whenever possible. The YouTube Partnership Program helps too - with any luck, I can recoup some of the repair costs by making videos about the car.
The "detailing brush" and "everything wrong with the car" footage was shot with the HV40, while the uncovering/pushing/tow truck footage was done with the HD110.
The footage blew out (note the excess white) when tracking the tow truck, but since I was filming with the camera above my head in the backseat (of a 2013 Mustang convertible), I couldn't control the automatic iris (some of it was shot blind too - I didn't have an external monitor either). Nevertheless, the HD110 doesn't suffer from rolling shutter (the "jello" effect you might see in some onboard YouTube videos) when you're moving at a high rate of speed.
. As far as Mustangs go, there's a '69 Shelby convertible about a block away, and a '65/66 notchback rotting in the back of a house. There was another early '65 notchback rotting away in the neighborhood about 10 years ago too (before it disappeared without a trace) - the engine and tranny had been pulled from it. If I'm not mistaken, it was essentially a giant backyard play car for the kids at that house. Gotta raise them right, eh?

For editing, I use Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects from the CS5.5 Master Collection. The video was shot with two different cameras - a consumer-grade (but excellent in every way) Canon HV40 (shoots 1080i, 30 or 24p, CMOS sensor), and a professional-grade JVC GY-HD110 (720p, 30 or 24p, 3CCD sensor).

I'm not a GM buff, but I'm all for as many old cars as possible in the neighborhood

The blue shirt in the opening is a '70s Norm Thompson, the jeans a pair of orange-label boot-cut Levis, and the tan pants part of a complete 1970's Sears 3-piece polyester suit - note the wide leg. I freely confess to having about 10 different jackets from the period as well, including a check jacket that might as well have come from the wardrobe of one of Cal Worthington's used car dealers.Hi Kurt and Welcome to the forum from Luxembourg/Europe. I watched several of your videos and I love them. You obviously have a certain talent there. Keep it up.
Oh by the way, your looks really match the cars. Great!
