This is it. The video I composited for my 2006 Press Kit. With this video being the primary focus of the overall press kit - I wanted it to reflect a touch of my personality as an artist - as well as my abilities behind the wheel.

A lot of madness occured over the past year - and this video is a good depiction of it's highlights. Sanctioned events across the country (including footage from the SCCA Formula Drift Series), unsanctioned city street drifting, drift demos, obnoxious burnouts, and the previously unreleased footage of the fabled rental Ferrari drift mayhem are all packed into this 7 minute anarchistic composite.

A lot of effort went into this video, and I have to thank everyone who helped shoot & submitted footage for the insanity. I'm knocking the train off the tracks with this one... and it is only going to get crazier over the next year - so stay tuned - the East Coast is on attack!

This is Atlanta Slide Style.
Enjoy the mayhem.

that was a great video! i really like your in car driving style, it looks very calm and controlled.

BenR · 04-25-2006, 07:55 AM

Great video man. I'd say probably the best drifting video I've seen so far.

04-25-2006, 02:26 PM

very well done Andy. Burt Reynolds was the first real american drifter.

CrazyHawaiian · 04-27-2006, 05:22 AM

Yeah I thought that was great. Alot of good shots!! At first I thought this thread was going to be about car fires. I was gonna share my story about my car setting on fire at Drift Session hahahaha.

HoosierDrifter · 04-27-2006, 10:53 AM

a truck caught fire a few feet from the pumps at a gas station last night while i was there... talk about some scary sh!t.

FC_RAUL · 04-27-2006, 08:28 PM

Top Notch Andy

z28evans · 04-28-2006, 08:56 AM

very nice, one of my favorites so far

loved the yellow convertable

andysapp · 05-01-2006, 09:57 PM

I cannot thank ya'll enough for the kind words!!! A lot of heart went into this video, so I'm super-stoked that ya'll like it! I've composited several drift videos from various events, but this video holds a certain personality to it that my other videos have lacked to a certain extent.

The Dirty South is on the rise... so keep an eye on the East Coast.
More madness is on the horizon.

bstonedrift · 05-29-2006, 05:43 PM

You look like you should be on Team Drift Alliance with the "*Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* off look", and love for rock and roll.

I saw that you qualified for Formula D, are you going to compete this season?

TokyoDrifterxo7 · 05-30-2006, 08:07 PM

damn that was dope. your smooth when it comes to slidin around, it's real nice. How long have you been doing this and how regular do you do it? Are you a pro racer? i wanna get into some fun *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* like that, usually im just a weekend slider, during the week i bust my *Censored**Censored**Censored* off working but i make good money. Do you get paid for what you do? Seems like some fun *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored*, especially if you get paid for it. keep it up man, you will go far with that talent.

FireEmblem62 · 06-01-2006, 01:30 PM

Andy Sapp? Would this be the same Andy Sapp that raced in the Speed World Challenge?

FD3S_pilot · 06-03-2006, 12:34 PM

wow how'd i miss this?!

Rocken badass e46! Loving the yellow headlights.
Whats under the hood?

Yay for the bimmer guys.

markshatchi86 · 06-03-2006, 06:46 PM

Ghost of Duluth · 06-04-2006, 12:44 PM

I came close to qualifying... but ended up being invited to the San Diego qualifier, which I couldn't make it to. I was granted a provisional license to run in Atlanta... which is my home town. I managed to obliterate both motor-mounts and scorch a bearing in my diff that weekend... so I didn't do as well as I wanted to. I felt honored to even be out there, so I walked away from the event happy.

I'd love to run more FD events this season. I''m finally putting some money back into the car, so I don't have the budget to make it out west - but I would love to run in Jersey!

I've been drifting for about three years now... although it seems like I started yesterday. I don't really consider myself a pro... more like an amatuer that ran in a pro series. I don't get paid to drift just yet... but we've got some things in the works that may change that soon.

Hahaha... that was Neal Sapp. Same last name... same chassis BMW. I met him a couple years ago. I had followed him since he raced Neons way back... since those were my first cars. Definitely crazy that we have the same last name, and both race e46 BMW's... but aren't related.

I've got a more-or-less stock 2.5L under there with an intake, ECU re-flash, TMS headers & exhaust... and that's pretty much it. She's only putting down about 180hp/170tq to the wheels. I've been focused on suspension... replacing EVERY bushing with aluminum parts from Turner Motorsport. Now that the suspension is about where I want it... power is next on my list.

Do I remember from the BMW drift setup thread that you have an e30?

Thanks buddy!!! Hahaha... I've come to terms with the fact that I like to show-off... so that clip only seemed fitting.

I'm SUPER-stoked ya'll are digging the video! I can't thank you guys enough for the kind remarks. I'll keep pushin' that li'l bimmer to the edge... and post more videos as I produce'm!

s13/350z · 06-10-2006, 02:29 AM

loved the intro, but the end (middle) font was kinda hard to read cuzz of the color(sure u dont care just sayin). I loved the way you just "threw" that steering wheel around, that shows some comfort (or lack of caring lol) in a car. Nice job.

EDIT: what editing software do you use?

andysapp · 06-11-2006, 09:43 PM

Thanks, killa! I know some of that text gets jumbled... the video was output at broadcast resolution as the video is for the DVD in my press kit - where it's all crystal clear. Once I compress it for web, and knock the resolution down to half-size... it gets hard to read. I hate it... but there isn't much I can do about it for the web.

The entire video was composited in After Effects on an iMac G5.

s13/350z · 06-11-2006, 10:22 PM

mmmmmmmmm G5...yeah i hate compressing for net...my video was soooo small and ditored compared to the original version..o well we gotta do what we gotta do right?
