Videos now watchable by all!
8/15/2007 9:47AM EDT
We have moved away from QuickTime (except for HD content) for most of our videos in favor of a Flash-based
player (similar to YouTube and the likes). This should do away with the QuickTime issues, as well as enabling
our videos to be watched in more places! Since QuickTime no longer needs to be installed, check out our videos
at work, gaming consoles, etc, just about anywhere else you can browse the internet! Enjoy.

Rain and Shine - Sweet Turnout!
4/17/2007 1:20PM EDT
The Black Forest Industries grand opening had a sweet turnout! We cruised from VA with about 29 cars
all the way down there. Got plenty of sweet footage. The guys there are cool, the new shop is fresh
and clean, the food was tasty and it was a fun drive! After a brief rain shortly after we left,
it cleared up nicely. Some of the rain footage turned out nice. We'll post up a video soon!

Its a New Season
4/11/2006 10:47AM EST
I think everyone would agree that it simply isn't warming up fast enough this year. We are aching to get out and get to the GTG's, and start on this season's films. Sorry we haven't released anything new in awhile, but we have good things planned, and it will be worth the wait. New photos coming this month too.
Re-encode
1/29/2006 11:15AM EST
So I was bored yesterday and sat down to figure out a problem I've been having with Quicktime encoding from Final Cut, and finally figured it out. So I re-encoded EVERY VIDEO on the site, and uploaded them this morning. Some people will notice sharper video's with smaller file sizes. Oh, and I made a "Large" size encode of Significant Addiction :). Check it out!
Video Format Update
Today I updated our One Day Boost videos to have both an H.264 version (high quality) and a normal Quicktime version. All you Windows 98 and ME people will be able to view our films now.
ALSO: Added an ULTRA resoution copy of our latest Boost video. It doesn't get any clearer than this!
Check it out in our films section.
Boost Video Release
Here is our favorite One Day Boost video. We're really excited to show you all this one!
Chrissy Call's '01 Jetta Wolfsburg.
Tuesday, October 25th [2005] Update
Show season is over. Its getting dark earlier in the day. Its getting cold.
And intercoolers love cold.
Video production has been a little slow since the rush to get stuff done by H2O, but don't you worry:
We're working on neat stuff.
The 'Boost videos are doing AWESOME! I check the unique hit count every day, and it hasn't dwindled since
the first one was released! Good stuff. Thanks to everyone who checks out our videos.
Maybe Friday I'll post our favorite 'Boost video so far, and my best work... keep checking back!
Second Boost Video Release
Another One Day Boost for you guys. Enjoy!:
Micah Barnes' '01 Passat V6.
First Boost Video Release
Here it is, the first installment in our "One Day Boost" video series:
Eric Shivley's '04 Jetta Wagon TDI.
H2Oi + Wagenwerks
H2Oi is Sept. 25th, We are doing a lot of work to get ready for one of the best shows of the year. Be watching for most of wagenwerk's cars, including Erics Jetta Wagon, Micah's Passat, and Chrissy's red Jetta Wolfsburg to attend the show. As we have mentioned before (on VWVortex), Little Steve's Rabbit VRT was victim of yet another stupid VA driver, so it will not make an appearance at the show.
Coming Soon: One Day Boosts
There is a new series of short films coming from wagenwerks called "One Day Boosts". So here's what it is:
1) We Boost your Dub.
2) We Film your Dub.
3) We capture and edit all the footage and transform it into a work of art.
.... All within 24 Hours. We have already completed a few 'Boosts, and will debut them at H2Oi this year. Be sure to stop and chill at our booth and check out the videos! And remember: There is always more to come.
Significant Addiction
Its finally here! The first film from wagenwerks. This much anticipated and most requested video debuted Sept. 2nd [2005], and has been a huge success, with over 2,000 views the first hour it was released! Check out our Films section to watch.
