If you haven&#8217;t seen any of his films then you&#8217;re missing out. Stephen Brooks is one of the most talented amature film makers i&#8217;ve come across and is responsible for some of the most fantastically filmed and edited Drifting and Car Culture videos of recent years. He has a an amazing ability to match the action in the visual to the events in the audio track, something which is by no means easy.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first video we&#8217;re going to show you is a short showcase of some of Stephens work from 2011 which includes excerps from the various events and photoshoots from last year:<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"225\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/30634725\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\"><\/iframe> <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/30634725\">SHOWREEL MMXI | THE WARNING<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/stephenbrooks\">Stephen Brooks FILMS<\/a> on <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/\">Vimeo<\/a>.<br \/>2011 SHOW REEL <\/p>\n<p> Featuring footage shot on Canon 5D MkII, Canon 7D and Phantom Gold. <\/p>\n<p> Music <br \/> The Warning (Ft Idris Elba) &#8211; Pharoahe Monch <br \/> Ghosts N&#8217; Stuff (Nero Remix) (Ft Rob Swire) &#8211; Deadmau5 <br \/> Both available from www.apple.com\/itunes <br \/> www.stephenbrooksfilms.com<\/p>\n<p>The 2nd video is titled Players, which is one of the largest car shows of its kind in the UK.
