Nice to see some different angles to figure out how to get! hahaha No prob. As you notice most of them are in the day time/well lit scenes. With the background being pretty constant (whether it be trees, desert, clear blue sky) makes for a great effect. Especially a clear blue sky, since that can’t be blurry even if everything else is. Works great with the car. Also notice how big of a role distance plays. Up close Is eh. Distant is :wow More up-close VS far. Close Far Close Far Also notice how most of them don’t have distracting window stickers. Looking forward to more! I’ll be more than happy to help you build a rig, whether through the forum or in person if we can match the time. Suction cups are generally preferred because of a much greater variety of positions and angles, editing will be required either way. Edit: Also if you want the car moving faster and you use engine power, but the engine vibration gets in the way, just set the camera to self timer, get the car rolling and then shut the engine off. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/first-attempts-at-slow-motion-fast-action/245543)._
