Yeah, I'm a bit bummed out by the video quality. As my PC is too useless to record anything at a decent framerate at a decent resolution, I'd to resort to installing LFS on my MacBook in order to pull footage from there. 1280x720 was the best I could output, so it was really a case of working with what I had Soon to change, though!

Some might say that there were too many effects - I say you can never have too many effects (video above is a great example). You got something going on there, I encourage you to keep on going and keep developing your style. I personally LOVE not necessarily overdone, but perhaps over the top editing is what you could consider it?

overall,
1) despite the video quality being rather low, it definitely had that 2009ish feel to it, I loved it for that (those drifting scenes just made it soooo much better)
2) good FPS
3) great camera angles, keeps the audience entertained

conclusion - you were killin' it. straight up gangsta. I want to see more, I WANT MORE EFFECTS, I want more action! As I said, this video reminded me of the golden LFSDrift community days. Great memories!

Daaamn. It's videos like that that inspired me to see what it'd be like if I were to make my own. The action is captured and presented absolutely flawlessly!
One one hand, I totally understand the claims of too much effects, and that's no problem, as without the effects it, i suppose, preserves a more "natural" feel. One the other hand, I feel that well-used effects (without going overboard with them) have the potential to differentiate a good video from a great one.

I appreciate your feedback! I'm sure I'll have some more on the horizon

Unfortunately that's the effect that a banger of a drop has on me...
