The Return Of Shadow Drifter Trailer Mini-Series

silviadrifter
Not every Civic I see is "riced"... Just because someone owns a Civic doesn't make them a "ricer"... It's what you do with the car... How you style it, performance parts, etc...

Ricing is just the act of ruining a car via poor performance and style choices... Unecessary wings, vents, counterproductive tuning, etc...

The only way you will be considered a ricer in a 240, is if you rice the 240... and sorry to say this, but you are quite on your way if you keep those ugly eyelids on your hatch...



There is absolutely no reason to make a cheesy over the top vid.... There just isn't any reason... It comes off as arrogant and is not terribly entertaining either... The editing was poor in both vids, the dialogue was rediculous, the drifting was non-existant, the whole package was just poorly concieved... You seem to be trying to sell the cheesiness as part of your production plan... We're not stupid... I'm sorry man, but every vid you have made has been eradic, poorly edited, poorly drifted (wheel or no)... So, don't act like we are reading things into this that aren't there...

Most people do not like cheesy over the top productions... Any jacka$$ can put together a cheesy production... Just act like an egomaniac, add some horrible accents, leave out the subject matter (i.e. drifting), and use a bunch of random transitions and effects... It takes talent to create something inovative and creative... I have not seen anything from you thusfar that would be considered creative or inovative... If you're not going to try something different, at least include some drifting... I mean they are called drift vids...



Yes, Shadow there are many cheesy productions out there, just like there are many ricers out there... Just because it exists, does not make it good...

I'm sorry to have to give it to ya like this, but I cannot stress enough how bad those vids were...

[end of rant]

Sorry man, no hard feelings...

I hope the KA24DET conversion goes well... Are you installing it yourself?...

Oh, and seriously bro, those eyelids have got to go... They scream rice...


Tabs, you never fail to make me laugh... Good stuff... Keep it up...

Here Here, I understand where you are coming from completely. I know what you expect from me and I know how to deliver, I just didn't in those movies, I'll do better next time, YOU KNOW IT. A JEAH!


Anywho, the eyelids were just temporary, I got rid of them as soon as I converted to HIDs in the front end. I didn't keep them, it was looked down apon by some of my street racer buddies back in NY. I miss street racing in NY . . .where the real street racers play . . . but I digress. Nah, I won't be puting on the turbo myself, I know a lot about cars, but if I mess up, I mess up, if my boy Matt messes up, he can replace the engine and/or turbine, LOL!

As a matter of fact, me and my friends ED and Tre are supposed to go racing around this weekend and maybe we'll even see some sideways action. I wanna get my boy from my car club, Bobby, out there with his BMW. I love seeing those things drift. PURE ART. That's what I mean when I say something different with drifting. OH man, drifting a BM would be sweet.

I'll get my chance. His is auto which is a little more difficult than manny, but it's cool. The only reason I say it's difficult is because it's kinda hard to work the hard "kick" without my trusty 1-2-3-2 shift pattern. Oh well, he compensates with pure power.

Hope to see you out there SD.

Yeah, you knew that you were next . . . .LOL!

Anyhoo, what's your beef with me, wow, I'm starting to feel hated all of a sudden, I make some movies that are for the **** of it and you guys jump all over me. Dude, let me have my fun, I've never done anything bad to you. But, I get some vids up and you flame me like I've asked for drift settings on an Vitz or something.

I honestly don't feel I deserved that. It's like you went out of your way to intentionally try to hurt my feelings or something.

The inconsistancy of the voice overs were because Floyd did one vid and I did the other.

The video's cheesey? HELL YEAH! Why shouldn't they be, I guess you've never watched Drift Saga Part 1 either. That video was hilarious and we had a good time making it. And pretty much everyone who watched it had a good time watching it. But that's all I'm going to say. LMAO!!!


Come on bro, a waste of bandwidth, number 1, it's my website, I can put on there what ever I want to, number 2, if I wanted an editorial I'd ask Ebert or Roper. And where do you get off telling me that I should take them off the net. That's not cool dude, I would never say that about anyone's vids. Especially if the vids are just plain fun. Holla back when you get your head outta your ass and your feet back on the ground.

Just because we don't know each other doesn't mean I can't give my say on your videos. I'm sorry, I refuse to sit here and sugar coat my argument for you. I wouldn't say a video is garbage unless it really, truly is. You tried to pass it off as a joke, but just the fact that you went through all that trouble to get the footage for the video shows you were serious enough about it. Your not going to fool me with that excuse.

Considering I've heard you've gone tosome kind of school, or recieved some kind of training in drifting.... I was expecting some MUCH better drifting compared to what I saw. And since I sat through that long winded, annoying, and highly arrogant intro, I was expecting to get some kind of compensation at the end, so that I came out of it knowing I didn't waste my time downloading it.

If you want to flash your testosterone around like nobodies business, be my guest, but since this is a drifting forum, it would be nice to see more drifting in the video then actual talking. And no, 180 degree turns are not drifting.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against you. I don't know anything about you. All I know is you have a reputation here, and your supposedly a lot better then I thought. But you screwed up bigtime with these videos. You boasted about how good you are in the video, and infact your not good at all from what you've presented here. Whether or not it was for fun really doesn't matter, since the content of the video is still beyond repair. In fact the drifts look like something out of my very first GT3 drift attempts, minus going off the road.

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, but crap is crap, and I'm going to treat it as such. I'm not going to be less abrasive to accomdate your feelings. I just can't believe someone would actually make something like this, and expect it to not get a flame or 2. These vidoes were just waiting to be flamed. Hopefully your next videos will have more substance.

And by the way.. hello Shadow Drifter, and welcome back. Nice to meet you tho.
 
First off, its good to see an old member comin back
Welcome back
About the vid, like most people said I was disappointed in it
I guess I was expectin more
But its straight if you had fun wit it.
If you had fun makin it, I got no prob wit it.
But about the real life "drift"
I think you should start back up in a open area
Since its real life we're talkin about,
Theres more risk involve to it.
If you already had the skills, I wouldnt say stuff about it
But it seems your not at it yet
Build up your skills and then take it to the road
Its a hell alot safer for you and others

and once again Welcome Back

o yea, after the conversion
post some pics up, I wanna see how it turned out
Hope it goes well
 
Then perhaps you are... JUST KIDDING.

I don't remember clearly of what i saw in these clips, but i remember them being VERY weak. He may be a drift teacher, but he's really lost it in Gran Turismo 3.

Hey Drifters,

Here's some vids made by myself and Shadow Drifter.

The first one already has a thread but he wants to make a "mini-series" thread for all of the "Return" movies.


Will he make a come back . . .I don't know, but these vids are awesome.


Here are the current videos. More to come.


1. The Return Of Shadow Drifter: Welcome Back

2. The Return Of Shadow Drifter: Reality Of Fear


Check em out!


More trailers will be up soon. We're currently thinking of ideas for part 3, but don't tell Dave I'm telling you this (he'll read this anyway :dunce: ) but if you have any ideas feel free to PM me or just post them here.

some of the movies are getting better than the actuall drifting. less effect's and editing, and more "seat" time.
 
Drifting for Friends and Family sold me on joining the ranks here, and these videos, even if they are "over the top" were fun as hell to watch.

Watching the second video makes one want to jump into a challenge, as if watching the protagonist and antagonist of a random film throwing down a challenge to one another. It gets you pumped, and psyches you up. Wether it was meant as a goof or a threat, I loved the impact that it carried.

And besides, nobody claimed the footage of him in his 240 was "drifting". Ease up on the guy, ok?

Bravo, Shadow Drifter. Welcome home. ^_^
 
He already posted a vid awhile back called "A day drifting with the boys" that shows him drifting in okinawa back when he was stationed there.

i did'nt mean for it to sound so harsh dude, sorry.........
 
Nice vid mang. 👍 You should go on a track and do some drifting and record it w/ a better camera., maybe get 1 of ur friends as a chasecar, and then splice that w/ some gt3 photage. that would be cool. :)

could u post a link to that vid? i searched but nothing came up
 
The link has been dead for long time. I'll get him to upload the video soon.

He did drive a r32 that was white back in okiniwa but he didnt take his car to that shoot. He drives one of the s13's in the video.
