Great job. I assume you want to use this as somewhat of a promotional tool. Since this speaks to an occasional aspect of my business, have done a lot of editing, AND you asked for it... here's my quick two cents:
1. Shorten the video to no more than 3 min. Also, try and cut yourself a 30sec version. If nothing else, it's good practice.
2. Don't know if you have it, but replace the "I'm not rich" bit near the end with something more about the value of your busines, e.g. the importance of a dyno to an enhusiast, etc.
3. Be wary of shots that are too long... like the Celica (i think?) with the decals on the side. The shorter each clip, the better.
4. Always better to show product than a spokesperson. No offense.
After a few seconds of the intro in front of the truck, overlap his audio with corresponding shots of cars, dynos, customers.
5. Great intro.
Like the previous poster said... it could be shorter.
6. If you can, cut parts where the camera goes wobbly. It's devastating to the professional "look" of a video.
Honestly though, great job.
It's not easy, I know. Don't know if you were expecting that much, but like I said... you asked. If you're really serious about turning that into a professional tool for your business, I'd be happy to help you more... if you want it.

You're off to a great start. Nice video. I do agree with the comments of a couple of the other guys...some shortening would maximize the appeal and affect of the video...it's the old "less is more" concept. I especially like the idea of a 30 sec. video. I think your overall concept is a great one and that is half of the battle...the rest is in the presentation.
It looks like you've got a great product and are off to a good start and I wish you well in your business!

You're totally on the right track! The others suggestions are right on. Shorten up the beginning animation and the intro from that dude. I don't see your logo until the 30 second mark. Need to see it much sooner. You have a product that makes NOISE! I want to hear it! Since this is about power, long shots won't do. Quick edits are more suited for this piece. No dissolves. Remember, for every action there's a reaction, so show some spectators/drivers faces (close up.) Also, get their reactions (even a simple "wow" or "holy @#$%! will do.) Make sure your videographer gets plenty of tight shots (hands, eyes, etc...) They take you into the action far more than wide shots. I'd love to see an extreme closeup of the wheels spinning on the dyno (like where the tire meets the roller of the dyno.) I really liked the speedo shot (I don't think mine will ever go that high!) And finally, tripod-tripod-tripod. Handheld shots have their place, but so do steady, well composed shots. Any more questions, just shoot me a PM! (I shoot production for a living.)
