Kudos to Subaru Canada for this pointless yet captivating piece of art commercial work. Yes, it’s a zeotrope rotoscope practical effect film of a car outrunning a giant robot spider, shot from a car. To see how they did it, you can check out another video here.

“It’s the mold for the mold that others try to break” Great spot from Subaru. Yeah, Subaru.

How the Legacy GTK shoot came together: This past summer I returned to X Games to cover the Rally Car competition. Like most sporting events, the X Games is a test of endurance, not just for the athletes, but also for production crews. It’s crazy mix of early mornings, late nights, and many miles of hauling gear around a stadium in-between. Still, when Subaru asked if I wanted to step out in the morning for an exclusive shoot of their 2009 SEMA car that week, I didn’t hesitate. I instantly liked the GTK when it made its show debut, and I’d certainly relish some time behind the wheel. (You can see the final video here.) Of course, there was one catch: I’d be joining Subaru’s photographer, Greg Jarem, who would also be taking photographs of the GTK. Which was great — you can see his shots in the image gallery attached to the story (and above). Of course, that mean’t we’d be heading out to location at 4:30 in the morning. Ugh. Okay, I’m a pro, I can do this. Up all night, early to location, this is the glamorous life of a producer, right? By the time we arrived to the location, somewhere near Long Beach, my frontal brain lobe had finally started to flicker awake — kind of. I hadn’t originally scheduled to shoot a car feature on this trip, so I didn’t even bring a tripod (they just get in the way at X Games). Nonetheless, cloudy head and lack-of-tripod aside, I think we managed to pull off a decent feature. I didn’t really start to feel good until the shoot was completed, I had downed my first cup of coffee and we dug into some great breakfast eats at Schooner or Later (awesome Eggs Benedict). Even with 5 hours already under my belt, there was another full day of filming ahead. Zoom

If you’re looking for an article on a pink WRX, Google knows you’re looking for Driving Sports TV. I think it’s safe to say we practically own that particular niche.

Cobb’s Accessport for the 2011 Subaru STI Sedan previewed.

Probably no surprise that the Cobb guys are on top of development for the new 2011 Subaru STI model year. The Accessport is a great tool for performance or economy tuning and demystifying error codes. We’ve used it on a number of our in-house project cars with great success.

Incredible crash footage from the first Subiefest event (2006) at Pacific Raceways in Kent, Washington. This exclusive version includes in-car footage for the first time ever! The driver miraculously survived the crash with relatively minor injuries. He was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center and released within 48 hours following the incident. The car was a street modified Subaru WRX owned by Kendrick Gray with close to 350 whp and significant modifications both inside and out. However, the car did not have a roll cage. Kudos to Subaru for making such a strong chassis from the factory.
