MilesFox Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Aside from snow donuting and self documentation, I broke out the video camera to document a 5spd swap on a 92 loyale, and everything in between including engine seals and timing belts. I have made 10 episodes so far, and there will be about 10 more with the 4 hours of tape i have. I anticipate shooting more, cv axles, changing noisy lifters, and eventually spfi harness swap onto a carb 86 3door. i finlly have a decent mac computer running windows and pinnacle studio to make my videos #1 is going up right now, i have thru #5 up already, thru 10 by the end of the day, and thru 20 once i finish editing i'll be adding the videos to www.economysuperstar.com/milesfox/subaru/service.htm and linking them on the USRM by category watch for them on www.youtube.com/milesfox watch them in a row to see the order in which it happened. i'll make playlists according to certain jobs as the videos are categorized by a multitude of specific tasks here is one that is up now let me know how thay watch and if you have any suggestions for what to include or what should be in the videos(captions, subtitles, procedure lists, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Sounds like a fun project! I would try to come up with a way to hang your light overhead to avoid the contrast and lens flaring that you get from shooting into the light. I know you have to be able to see the work you're doing but I work in a digital lab so I can't not-say such things. If you want to shoot a 4-corner wheel bearing replacement video, come on over to Spokane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 what i need is a light on a stand. i only had the one shop light and it was dark out. the other videos have better light. the flourescent light isn't that great for the camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eulogious Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 This is so awesome :banana: You have definitely raised my confidence level when working on these cars. I can now watch what needs to be done so I have a way better idea of what to do. Thank you. This is fantastic! I have already watch all 5 you have posted so far, and they are great! Keep it up man. Thanks for all your hard work. I for one might donate to this site just for this as soon as I have some money. This is soooo worth it's weight in gold. Thanks again!!!

xbeerd Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 this was my car receiving the swap. I agree with you eulogious, I've read up on this stuff alot lately, but the difference in reading vs hands on and now watching makes a world of difference especially for someone who hasnt ever done anything like this before. i gotta say tho.. if it werent for Miles bein local and accomodating. i'd probably still be rollin the 3at.

heartless Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Bookmarked! i guess i (& madkow) can make a very tiny claim on this, since we provided the donor vehicle for the tranny swap!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phizinza Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I was actually planning on doing something similar for a while. Good to see you've done it! May I ask to embed these videos on a page on my OffroadingSubarus.com site MilesFox? They look like a good video resource! Cheers, Phiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
