VIDEO: Maxxis – Ultimate Control

MAXXIS Ultimate Control from Stephen Brooks on Vimeo.

Hey guys ! Ok I thought you might like to see this, shot on location at Prodrift Citywest in Dublin in late June.  This film was made for Maxxis Tyres, to be used on their website and so we decided against the usual music video style.  I wanted to make the video performance focused and give you an insight into what its like actually being in the cars from a drivers perspective.

The film features Maxxis-sponsored Team Japspeed, I followed the guys around for the weekend so thanks to them for putting up with me constantly sticking the cameras in their faces !!

Hope you enjoy guys !
