Clipping Point - James `The Machine' Deane - 2021 

@@mitchdv85 🙏

It 3 years old 😂 Still really good tho

Glad to hear the drivers like it, I came at this from a variety of different angles. I want to bring new fans to the sport and have it digestible but James's legacy in the sport is irrefutable, so I didn't want the fans and drivers to not get anything out of it. Enjoy prospec, that's awesome that you're out there doing it. Hope to see you out there in the big show one day! Keep the dream alive. Thanks for checking out the movie.

@@ozhansharifi889 it’s all good! We just put it out on RU-vid. Plenty of love. The whole team is grateful to everyone for checking it out. You appreciate it and that’s what matters.

Clipping Point : Road To Irwindale?

@@DB.naveth Very happy to hear that. People like yourself is why we did it. Thanks for showing the appreciation. It means a lot!

@@jankesbmw You got a petition going! I’m down.

same excellent documentary

@@Ali4994 👀

That’s awesome to hear ❤️

I might go see a few of them, do some smaller scale projects! We’ll see. Thanks for watching!

Really appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching.

That would be the dream. Luke is a good friend and has a fantastic family. I’d love to get to know Daigo Saito’s story as well, always loved his style and his cars are from a different planet. Getting these things off the ground takes a different level of commitment though. Never say never but this film took 3 years to make and only for the fact that BC Racing came in and helped out with some expenses (when we were already half way through) this film would have never been finished. Netflix et al., would never back something like this unfortunately. It would have to be a private individual backing the project or some kind of crowd funding. I wanted to crowd fund this but no one was interested. I took it to multiple production companies and producers during the filming process and nothing came of any of it. In mainstream media world, no one gives a shit about drifting unless it’s a game show or there was some kind of overly dramatic tragedy that would make it a more widespread story. Like if James turned out to be the owner of the mafia to fund his drifting, he gets gunned down before making it to the last event of the season and he never fulfils his destiny. Now you’ve got a story they’d be interested in 😂

James Deane and Michael Dunlop is a conversation I'd love to drop an ear on

They’re great lads!

@@Project249 couldn’t be more grateful for your work on this! The voice of the movie 😎 ladies and gentlemen Peden Nielsen 👏 I’ll be giving you a proper shout in a little Q&A clip sir. Wouldn’t have been able to finish it without you ❤️

Certainly open to the idea!

Love to hear it. So glad people are enjoying the film.

@@Hi.chance much appreciated 😎

@@joshallendirector I’ve been watching James Deane compete since the Prodrift days, was nice to hear the back story.

Thanks for checking it out. It's here to stay now. Enjoy!

Was on vimeo

could have paid for it.

Thank you so much for bringing James's drift story to us all. I new about half of his story, not so much of his early days.i have learned something new today. Bonus.

@@RAFFMEDIA_ 🙌

I appreciate the courtesy and respect in asking. The whole point in putting this out on RU-vid was so that people could see it. Of course as long as you make it clear what you’re doing as an introduction to the clip, then please go ahead. I wouldn’t want RU-vid taking it down. Thank you again for the respect in asking permission. Much love to the Brazilian drift community. I hope to visit one day! I’m sorry we couldn’t afford to do translations and subtitles in other languages. All the best.

@@joshallendirector Thank for this man, and once again, congratz for this huge work. If you want help with the pt-br subtittles, i can help it, just let me know. Thanks again for give the permission, and, i'll lovely add an intro talking about your work and share this video, asking for our community to epxress their gratitude for that here! This type of content are inpirational for us.

@@HaiCamatti Quite alright. I appreciate the respect and love for the project and of course the sport.

@@Welderman12 the one and only

@joshallendirector knew it! He done a great job 👏 🙌

#KeepDriftingSerious 😂😂😂

Cry about it.

@@SaleenDrift To work in the US, don’t quote me on this, non US citizens need a relevant visa. Darren wasn’t necessarily working for the team as far as I know, certainly not in any full time capacity but homeland security thought otherwise and because he was spotting for James on the event in question, they deemed this as working. From memory he had corresponding texts on his phone, that was good enough for them to turn him down. He just didn’t have the right visa as far as they were concerned basically. Darren obviously competed in years prior and he would have had the correct visa once upon a time. It was all a bit last minute. He wasn’t trying to get away with anything as far as I understand. Make sense?

Do you need a hug? Myself and the team are (and this is sincere) unbelievably grateful to everyone that paid for the film. It’s people like you that mean we would even consider doing a project like this again. To scratch the surface. The film actually cost £200 a year just to host on Vimeo on demand and provide a platform to charge. So that you can even begin to stand a chance at recouping some of the massive expenditure. They also take around 25% of what good people like yourself paid. That’s without getting into the three years it took to make this film. Including the year that was 2020, where myself and my wife were unable to secure work for months on end. We actually lost our house. If it wasn’t for the contributions from BC Racing and Falken (a very small amount) this film would never have even been finished. For what was ultimately a project that didn’t make any money at all. It stands to reason that if you added up all the hours that went into it, it’s balance sheet would read minus £250,000 or thereabouts. Just some food for thought. If you still feel the same way, then please accept apologies from everyone involved. Once again, thank you for contributing. The decision to put this film out was not taken lightly but by all means, if you still have objections. I will do my best to rectify your concerns.

Does this mean whenever a film you’ve purchased appears on Netflix or TV, you get angry 😂 man that’s exhausting …

@@charleypert6390 Do you not pay for netflix or TV? Does your mom dress you in the morning?

​@@joshallendirector That's all good and well and has basically nothing to do with my point. We paid (gladly as far as I'm concerned) to watch it. Anyone can see that it is "expensive" for what it is in the grand scheme of things, comparing to the normal price of videos and that is ok because we were in for a special thing. Now, I doubt any of the people who paid for it had anything to do with your personal conditions and I'm pretty sure a lot were also heavily affected by the pandemic. Saying that, you're now giving it to anyone for free and that is not going to make you any further money, is it? So while there was no wrongdoing towards you, definitely not by those who paid, we can now see that our purchase was unnecessary.
