Eleanor Mustang on display at OKC Auto Show
This Mustang is awesome. I remember my dad had a 1969 Mustang. I remember it developing the same creaks and rattles my 1996 Corvette would develop a couple decades later.
Listen to the engine purr and roar to life in the Eleanor clip. That is pure American muscle.
Drug raid in Yukon
NewsOK.tv’s ace videographer Tim Money got to tag along with camera rolling as drug agents conducted a sweeping drug raid in Yukon this morning.
UPDATE: This video received numerous video views, a surprisingly high number. Well shot. Good audio and visuals.
Camaro and Mustang top OKC Auto Show
Last night, Angi Bruss and I taped a couple of segments at the OKC International Auto Show at the State Fairgrounds. Tanner Herriott manned the one’s and two’s. David Jones lurked in the background with witty remarks. Yes, we had a full crew on hand.
I love sports cars. I was surprised that the Auto Show had both the 2010 Camaro and Mustang. It also had the 2010 Hyundai Genesis couple. And the 2010 Nissan 370 Z. I won’t even get into the exotics, like the Nissan GTR.
Even Peter Hodges, president of the Metro Auto Dealers Assocation, expressed some surprised that the manufacturers delivered all of these top name cars for the show. Wednesday was the annual “VIP” event, where advertisers, sponsors and others get a sneak peek at the chrome and snack on finger foods.
In my opinion, the Camaro did not disappoint. It was my favorite car of the show. I’ve been reading reviews on Edmunds.com and had high expectations. The new Mustang wasn’t quite as cool as I’d hoped, but the strange gold/yellow/mustard/beer color had a lot to do with the “meh” factor. So did the base model wheels.
And of course the new Corvettes were amazing.
Grayson Cook did an excellent job editing this video, especially the fast musical montage at the beginning.
Cafe Antigua delivers the spice and taste
The above video was shot by Kyle Roberts. Dave Cathey manned the mic for a tour of Cafe Antigua. Cathey likes his food spicy, and I’ve noticed, from south of the border.
A few weekends ago I ate at Cafe Antigua, located on North Classen and formerly More than Muffins and Cafe do Brasil. The special that day was the excellent Mayan Chicken, served with black beans and white rice. Not sure what the green sauce was. They said, but I don’t remember, but it had some heat.
Like Cathey, I like my food caliente. The breakfast portion of the menu looked excellent, and I could eat some breakfast any time of the day. And twice some days.
First Twitter, now video, what’s next for Steve Lackmeyer?
Steve Lackmeyer did a nice job of lining up several guests on a recent Friday morning in Bricktown. We efficiently knocked out a month and a half’s worth of segments. Check Steve’s blog at OKCCentral.com and look for these video segments each Tuesday.
And follow Steve on Twitter: @stevelackmeyer.
I’m working on the production quality of the editing. Not terribly happy with the intro. I love the time lapse and pan Todd Fraser shot. But the rest got a little cheesy.
The closing part of the segment features some old photos Steve found in our photo archive. He narrates a quick OKC history lesson as we reveal the pics. Pretty cool idea.
Sam Bradford day across all the land
We shot and edited a ridiculous amount of video today, including this one. The Oklahoma Senate decided it needed to be Sam Bradford day. And so it was.
