This film covers the British Drift Championship, shot throughout the 2010 season I hope it portrays just how special this series is.

I'd like to say thanks to Paul McCallum and Mark Buckle for allowing me to shoot the championship over the past couple of years and giving me complete creative freedom to do what I wanted. I'd also like to thank all the drivers / crew / and supporters .. you make it what it is.

Some of these shots were provided by Al Clark from Trackday Films who covered the final round of the championship up in Knockhill. Thanks man :)

Stephen

    Amazing work man, do you use one a steadicam of any sort ?

    I've just started shooting video (stills photog) just for fun, but video more shakey than i'd like, but your's seems spot on.
  • Stephen Brooks FILMS plus 10 months ago
    Hi Will .. No .. no steadicam was used in any of this film, in fact i think there's just one shot on a tripod. For this kind of thing i prefer handheld.

  • Wouter Kapteijn plus 10 months ago
    Fantastic work. Personally I would have never used the motivational speech from Any Given Sunday, simply too hard to pull it off. Everything else was near flawless. Fantastic camera work!
  • Stephen Brooks FILMS plus 10 months ago
    Thanks Wouter .. I thought the speech was very fitting, but its a personal thing i guess.
  • Wouter Kapteijn plus 10 months ago
    Yes it's indeed a personal preference, amazing that you did almost all shots handheld. Keep up the good work.
