YotaTech's Ten Year Anniversary Video

YotaTech celebrates its ten year anniversary this Monday the 21st of May 2012.
I want to thank all the members and staff here for decade of contributing to one of the best tech boards out there for Toyota tech.

I cannot believe a whole decade has passed by already since we first launched back in May of 2002.

We usually do a video each year of a collection of pictures submitted by the membership, and this year member xxxtreme22r (Brandon) kindly offered to make us a video to celebrate our decade here.

Here is the video, and it will also be embedded on our homepage as well.

Thanks Brandon for all the hard work you did on this.
Shoot me the new URL when you get it done, and I will swap the video for this one.

No problem Corey. Glad to have done it. Hopefully I will have many more to come for the site.
I wish YouTube allowed you to pick your own thumbnail. Because the opening sequence would have made a perfect thumb.
Stockwell45 will be happy he made the "cover" though.

There will be a master notice that pops up on the site too with the URL to this thread later.

I sent IB Nolan a notice about seeing if the vids could be wider here.
I have visited other forums where the video when linked is in the wide format, but, but I usually just click the YouTube screen where it says to take you directly to YouTube's site to watch it in full HD and full screen.

Yes, Vimeo lets you pick the thumbnail to use on your videos.
I find I use Vimeo more than YouTube for uploading.
But it also costs to have the premium account with them there.

Brandon, that was GREAT! The graphics, the music transitions, .... all of it, just a well done, professional looking piece of Puter - Tutor-age! lol.

Reminds me of how much this site and it's fantastic members have done for me and MANY others. Especially those of us who were just starting to 'really' dig into their 4Wheel Family Members! hahaha.

Nope. Just a new hobbie. Most of it was done from several premade project files for adobe after effects. I just had to transition them and synch them with audio when needed. And of course add the photos, edit them where needed.

I did customize two small sections. One being easy and that was the diamond plate in the 3rd scene and actually had to develop the bar code and if anyone noticed the moderately accurate Toyota part number generator in the first scene.

And anyone's rig that didn't make it was not intentional and might make it in when I add a few more scenes.
