Karting

We set out to De Uithof, to shoot indoor go-carting. An on-the-fly sort-of training exercise turned out into something of a challenge. Low light conditions, fast moving targets, and various light sources to shoot.

Rigging a camera to a moving object is one thing. Keeping it steady on a moving, bouncing, shaking and vibrating go-cart is something quite different. Definitely food for thought for a next time

We had an awesome time, went home later than anticipated, feeling pretty exhausted, yet thrilled by some of the results.

With special thanks to Glen, Glen, and, of course, Will and “De Uithof Kartbaan“, for providing us with the opportunity.

We’ve also produced a short – fast paced – video of the race track. The amount of vibration of the carts and the low lighting conditions proved to be too much of a challenge for our small eenie-weenie HD camera. Therefore, the quality of the moving images is sub par, I’m afraid, but you’d be the judge…
