Dirt Track Video Production Gear

Hello, 

My Name is Michael Elliott  with Speedway Car Cams

I am a struggling Extream Sports Film Maker in the Dirt Track Racing Community looking for some help to enable me to get the most out of my capabilities as a videographer.


I have covered Weekly Races all the way up to the World of Outlaws and Lucas Oil Series.




The money raised would go to: NEW EQUIPTMENT

This is needed to help get better action shots for the fans and drivers and sponsors.

But, I need your help with the following wish list.

This $ rasied will help me buy the following:

The Main thang I deal with is Lens Damage:
$15-$20 a Lens




Also On the Wish List....

-Drone for Sky Camera video shots for intros
Roughly $600+
my last one was stolen :( and I have not been able to replace it since. 

-Camcorder of mid to high quality
Roughly $1600+
Used for out car footage to be able to mix in with the in-car camera videos,  making awesome feature footage. Slow for some better Slow Motion Videos

-Photo Camera for still shots of Winner
Roughly $400+
A Win Picture and video go a long way to making the video Memorible for the Videos

-New Video Editing Software Licences
Roughly $300 per copy
I need 2 copies to render faster on more then one computer to get the videos online fast

-Devices to tie into the announcer audio
Roughly $ not sure yet
To help add more depth to the videos to make the viewer more involved.

-Equipment to go Live at a race
Roughly $$$$$
I hope to have a Live Production ability. 

-as always more GOPROS.... I use sessions, I'm looking into better glass lenses for them $. The More I have The more I can Set them up Around the track for B-Roll Clips to mix in with the In-Car Camera footage.

This is just to name a few I could go on but I feel this is some of my immediate needs here at
Speedway Car Cams.

I'm working on a New logo Idea too. Needing a little $ to get the right vector artest to really bring it to life. Then I can start getting marketing products like shirts, hats, and so on.  New logo Design Roughly $300


I feel what I can built here will take off as I network with a my team of videographer partners.

Any help no matter how big or small will go a long way to reach my goals and produce video of such high quality that I hope to soon be able to have my videos on some TV Networks. I have talked to some but I need more gear to make this possable before I pull the trigger on that.

Also Need a Bigger Vans for the crew :)

I am teaching our 5 kids what some hard work and some tech skills can do in life, if you have a goal you want to reach you can reach it if you work hard enough. They love helping me in the pit and turning on cameras, mounting them and so on.

Thanks again for your time, and I hope you are willing to help me out.


SEE YOU AT THE TRACK.. In the Pits
