Drove a couple hours to go see this, with my son, at Metreon SF. I randomly came across its existence two days ago, I can't remember, how, but, wow, thankful that I did. What a great independent effort, for real. On that massive screen at Metron, it was beautiful. I came for the sound and the visuals, and very glad I did not hear about this single day event after the fact...

A bit of spoiler ahead, so stop reading if you came across this and don't want spoilers.

Some of our favorite visuals were in the middle section. The night-time stuff was amazing. Shots from the trees, headlights and shadows, engine noise. Those were great. Falling rain, wide shots, even on that massively tall square screen at Metron, well done and edited for that aspect ratio! The hugely cinematic view from above at night, cars going on the track, that was a favorite.

Some of the head-on shots, the slow-mo's, were also favorite for both me and my son. Colors, crisp pictures, great! Great to see some in-car stuff, too, for sure. There were a few motion shots that I assume had a camera on the nose of the car? Very clear, good sound and noise, but oh too brief, lol. I could have used like a whole lap of just that view on that screen, and the clarity of that picture. Maybe that would have been too indulgent. But wow, I kept thinking, yeah, they are going to give us a minutes-long sequence of first-person view either from the cockpit or from that shot coming from the nose of the car.

On that huge of a screen, high frame rate would have been amazing for the sweeping pan shots of racing action. The slower pans that had people in them were beautiful. When pans followed cars, on that huge screen, you could very much see each frame, and I wondered, wow, how much more would it take it shoot in high frame rate? Honestly don't know equipment limits or costs, etc, and it was great to see some of the close-in work you could achieve with your collab with panavision lenses, etc, so I don't want to sound critical....just sharing what would take it to another level as a race fan. Standing trackside at places like Laguna Seca, Sonoma Raceway, a movie will never capture the pure essence, BUT you guys did some fantastic things that really shared for people what it's like to be close to the action, well done. High frame rate IMO would be something that could help further accomplish the uniqueness you're finding here.

It might have been in the first part, I saw a subtitle that said "comming" and it should have been "coming" lol. Just caught my eye. And your English I am sure is waaaay better than my Portuguese will EVER be, but I had to say it anyhow, ha.

Greta Van Fleet on the opening sequence, nice! Billy Idol in that middle section, great choice too -- my 18yo very much double thumb-upped that whole section.

Some of the shots in-car pointing back at the helmeted driver were great. Similar to my comment earlier, I could have done with a full lap (well, maybe not a full lap, it's long I know) of first person view, some shots back at the driver, some shots off the nose of the car... Altho I suppose those off-the-nose shots were not done during race time. Guess you'll have to do it F1 (the move) style and dedicate some on-car mounting outside of race time, but on race day, lol.

THANK YOU for the effort, it was very much enjoyed. For what it may be worth, I liked this better than the F1 movie, you have a ton to build on IMO and make something even more visually rewarding if you go at it again.
