Hey guys. I didn’t want to post my video until the last minute, and tomorrow is the deadline so I figured it’s close enough. Anyway, this is my entry for the surge contest. Let me know what you think!  
Thanks 🙂

Ok so for all you tech nerds who care, this was shot in 1080p with an iPod touch 5th gen. Edited in Final Cut Pro, some color correction was done in Motion 5 and After Effects.

did you film everything including the part with the cars in the into?

I never saw this entry before and it’s quite good, the only thing I’d say you should work on is string visibility.

Yeah, I was kicking myself for running out of typical neon yellow string right before I left for my trip. I couldn’t find a way to make the color look natural and have the string look super clear, because when I made the string clear, the rest looked kinda scary… The car footage was indeed stock footage… I messed with the color a bit.

You guys should watch this. Tell me what you do and don’t like about it. Yeah I know the contest is over, I’m just treating this as a normal video now.
