Magnus Walker – “Disturbing the Peace”

“Urban Outlaw” introduced us to Magnus Walker, his unique personality and his Porsche collection. For 32 minutes we were immersed in his history, his collection, his garage and his Passion for Porsche. While the film went in many different directions, it was never rambling. The underlying theme was always Magnus’ passion and his love of Porsche.

This newest video talks to us in a much more direct way. If possible, it’s an even more concentrated version of Magnus. Watch as he drives us around in his favorite Porsche from his stable – a bone-jarring, race ready ’71 “277” 911-T – and learn even more about his thoughts, philosophy and the ubiquitous 911 he loves so much.

About The Video

Produced for the new automotive magazine “Blackbird” – an automotive journal out of Hong Kong (hence the subtitles) exploring the intricate relationship between man and machine – Magnus told us the video was originally intended to be a “NIGHT TIME DRIVING SEQUENCE -inspired by Rendezvous” [the first and most influential viral car video of all time] and that’s why he’s driving through the streets of LA at night. What it evolved into is what you see above [Magnus wasn’t involved in the editing] complete with voice-over and subtitles.

Personally, I’d like this without the voice-over. Let the Porsche do the talking and show the interview as a second part or maybe even as an inset. Regardless, it’s beautifully shot and extremely well edited.
