45-minute tribute movie to Ayrton Senna and FOM controversy

[Antti_K]

Hello, I would like to have your opinion on two things. Recently I made a lenghty video tribute to Ayrton Senna and received positive comments about it, I would also like to have your opinion on the video. It didn't take long for FOM to come showing off with their copyrights and soon I had my youtube account again removed. You may recognize me from antti2, antti2videos or simply the "Made by Antti" credit text after the videos. I also do rally videos and after these episodes, they are probably the only thing I will do from now on if I continue doing these at all.

I put up a new account which probably won't last long and for start only uploaded the tribute to Senna. Also I'll give you the download link for the full file so you are not dependant on the Youtube links, FOM is very trigger-happy with my account and could be that by tomorrow I don't even have the account anymore. I would like to have your opinion on this video and the opinion of the FOM's behaviour. They have only been interested in removing the last part which contains Imola footage but all footage is shown in a respecting manner and doesn't include the actual accident footage.

Also if there are some people here who work for FOM (you can always try), I would also like to hear your comments why you are especially interested in removing the final part of the tribute. Is it because the video is popular and not made by you? Because I can see that you haven't done anything to remove some distasteful footage that has been there for years. I realize you hold the copyrights to all the footage, but then tell me how this video especially is bad for F1's image when you let people keep gory aftermath footage of the accident in Youtube. What this video only does in my opinion, is promote the sport.

I think this subject deserves it's own thread, don't know if this belongs more to nostalgia or here, moderators can decide that.

FOM, ISC etc etc = c***s IMHO

excellent work. FOM is a load of tosh, as Bernie creates a self interested money grabbing world using F1. I doubt he even cares about the races, he just spills out silly ideas every now and again to look interested whilst he puts more money into his and CVC's pocket.

anyway, are you the same guy who did some excellent F1 video montages with the great soundtracks?

Excellent tribute created passionately by an obvious enthusiast, great background music representing that era...

Possibly the best Senna tribute I have ever seen.......

Great video. Get your own website!

That would open him to direct lawsuit from Bernie.

Hey Antti, any chance you could PM me download links to your [rally] vids?

Yikes.
