VHS amateur film. The Civic, 2001.


From the video description:

Back in 2001 we grabbed my buddy's VHS-C camera and made this short film called "The Civic" in my hometown of Redding, CA. We were just a bunch of Hong Kong film fans who wanted to make cool action movies. This is what started The Stunt People, and the rest is history!

According to Mr. Jacobus

0:00 I was 18 years old when we made this
0:01 I can't remember the name of this song, but the old wav file I have says "Final Cut"
0:23 VHS capture on a Hauppauge USB recorder, streaming off my VCR.
0:27 I had taken 2 months of Karate at a mall. That's all the experience I had.
0:29 Breaking the 180 degree rule all over the place
0:42 This was my specialty: dropping from high places
0:45 Chelsea staying busy waiting for me to drop on him
0:50 "Auto Tracking" - I couldn't get my VCR to stop saying this on the final shot, so we left it in. I almost became the title!

Happy 11th anniversary to this video!
