Skyline Australia movie

[G-SPEC]

Hey everyone, my names garreth and i'm an avid skyline fan. Just wanted to say that my best mate is doing a yr 12 media project, and it's basically a car movie with drags and lots of cars.

I just wanted to know if anyone is interested in getting their cars in some sweet footage. Our first day of filming was on Saturday 26th and we had a total of about 80 cars throughout the night. It was awsome fun. So yeah just wondering if anyone is interested...

Post up more details of these "drags". If they are held in 100% legal then I'll let this thread stay, otherwise it'll be removed. We don't condone or support the promotion of illegal drags, wether to help out students or otherwise. You have 24 hours.

hey garreth, this is calvin, how the movie coming along?

[R31Nismoid]

Yer, please let us know what type of footage.

If its all legal you'll have no problems getting 30-40sky's along with some of our help

I'll let you know that if your filming illegal drags... you'd better not hope some of the cars owners find out or you might find yourself in a sticky situation... Just some friendly advice

i can bring allong my sky or seven aslong as its not illegal because i dont want to get locked up!

[krzysiu]

Is that u Garreth D?

[G-SPEC]

lol dont worry guys...this is 100% legal as Calvin here can tell you

i wouldn't condone anything illegal anyways...but yeah last saturday basically we had our main actors line up and launch against each other. Everything was performed in a controlled environment, lol and don't worry serious-seven we had a 250 thousand dollar S- 15 down there which was basically in need of a canary, but since it was in a controlled environment, everything was kewl.

My mate and i contacted the traffic control unit for Victoria and we closed the street of (legally), we then contacted the police and told them of what we wanted to do, they said it was kewl (again still all legal), and finally we told Footscray police on the day, and the senior constable said it was all good, so nothing illegal involved. They even legalised out burnouts.

The movie we did on Saturday was basically a demo to let everybody know that we are quite serious about cars, and we aren't just a couple of stupid teenagers looking for a thrill ride.

Ahahah, Clarence Tang was there. I know him. His rolla is pretty nice.

[G-SPEC]

yeah good old Clarence...believe it or not...his little 'rolla is actually one of our main stars!!

[chubbs]

Next time you guys have something planned, let me know. I'll bring the 31 out for a cruise.

[G-SPEC]

yeah will do dude...bren's movie is due in late September...but more filming will take place within the next 2 to three weeks. (i'm hoping)

[funkymonkey]

i'm ok with that... good luck.

[ferni]

So whats the details of what cars you want footage of etc?

When/where/how etc...

[Nismo Racer]

I can vouch for G-SPEC, as the last fiiming was done in an control and organise environment. hey G-SPEC, my mate just got himself a 03 HSV clubsport (sad, he sold his R33 for this?) do u want me to talk to him and try to get him to come down for the next shooting?

[SKY031]

I can vouch for G-SPEC, as the last fiiming was done in an control and organise environment.

But is it a LEGAL environment?

Where do you intend on filming this footage?

[G-SPEC]

yeah calvin that would be good...(i cant believe he did that)

yes it is a legal environment dude, and the street we chose was good because on the night there must have been about 3 cars that actually needed to drive down it...all other cars must have found a detour.

Our filming is just bascially gonna be focussed on like a 'car meet-up' theme. We just need lots of cars. Check out the demo movie...thats what the first day of filming looked like...that was the street we used

We will probably use that again

[Blade]

Lonley planet is a nice meet point

Ill be their

It didn't appear to be a very 'controlled' environment, people were standing around on the sides of the road...

Forgive me for being cynical, but I honestly can't see Police giving permission for this type of thing... do you have any insurance? What happens if there is any damage to property or someone gets injured?

[G-SPEC]

It didn't appear to be a very 'controlled' environment, people were standing around on the sides of the road...

nah i understand if you are a bit sceptical about the whole thing, and no i don't have any insurance, i am still only in yr 12, and i don't have a car yet. But it's your choice to believe what you want.

We controlled the event as much as we possibly could, given the fact that we had contacted the police and that all filming was done under controlled conditions. If you still don't understand what i mean by this i'll try and summerise for you.

We contacted the Traffic control unit for Victoria and told them what Brendan's idea was, and we said that we just wanted to make sure that everything we wanted to do was done the legal way. We told them that we only really need them to legalise our 'burnouts' on the night, because apart from that nothing was really illegal. All the launches you see in the demo tape are actually quite slow...so no one was in any real danger of losing control. We kept the cars under about 80 (or 60) at all times. We then contacted the relevant people from Victoria Police and asked them if our idea was ok, and we told them that we aren't the type of kids who just want to go out and do stupid ass burnouts.

In terms of the crowd, we did as much as we could to tell them to not venture onto the filming strip, short of tieing them up. We told them time and time again not to step too close to the strip (and most of the time they did listen to us). you see i had no idea where else they were going to stand apart from the sides of the road.

Yeah Blade it is a nice place (though the road needs to be fixed up a bit), the HOT 4's photo shoot was done there about 2 and a half months ago...
