BMF 2008 – OCC, Grand Prix & Flying Gunners

BMF 2008 – Moped Enduro

The elements I like most are the intro (visual effects and overlaid titles) and the “lower thirds” (little strips popping up at the bottom telling you what you’re looking at), the parts I like the least are the audio mixing (I didn’t add any filters or compressions) and the track changes on the soundtrack (I didn’t cross-fade the songs).
