Stephen Brooks dropped his “Showreel” this weekend, which touches on some of his works in and around the drifting circuits, & car shoots that he’s been attending. Stephen is a modern day visionary when it comes to filming drift, he has a knack for tapping into certain filming styles that we dont ordinarily see. We were lucky to have him at the Wall NJ event this summer with Gardella Racing, where he filmed what we would consider one of the most spectacular edits of 2011, “Drifting The Guantlet”

Ryan Tuerck Vegas Formula D 2011 – YAER Productions (Video)
First off I’d like to say how much of a pleasure it is to work with Ryan Tuerck and the Gardella Racing team… they are a professional, talented and dedicated group of guys.
Here is a link to their site – gardellaracing.com/
Second, the inspiration for this video came from a music video I recently saw online from the artist Sapient. He is a local musician from the Portland area were I live, and I have been bumping his stuff for years since his days in the group Sandpeople.
You should check out his facebook for songs and updates on his tour @ facebook.com/Sapientkills
Lastly, for this video I wanted to try a few new things… I wanted to use only one lens for the main section, and that being a 50mm f1.2 at 1.2. I also wanted to get yet another style of video for Tuerck. The last one we did at the Seattle FD stop was more on the comical side (vimeo.com/28039775), so we decided to flip the Vegas one a different direction.
I want to continue to try and find ways to show other sides of these drivers than we are all used to. It’s hard for me to follow a driver through a series if I know little about him/her. So my goal was to show how real life a person like Ryan Tuerck is, and how good he is at swinging a beast around like that Camero(which I got a ride in and will never forget).
That said, hope you enjoy the work.
