HOT IMPORTS wanted to star TV commercial (Melbourne -AUS).

Greetings-

I’m currently casting for HOT CARS for a series of five 15” second television commercials for a car related product.

I’m looking for HOT IMPORTS and a modified V8 COMMODORE. In the commercial each car is put on show detailed like its being presented at an import car show. Rather than shooting standard factory models I want to showcase the hottest modified vehicles here on the Melbourne import scene.

There will be more glory than money for the featured cars but I thought that this forum would be a great way to network out to the scene.

We are looking at shooting shooting around the 25th July.

If you are interested send me through shots of your ride and contact details to [email protected]

Please direct phone inquiries to Alison Lockwood on 03 9674 4000.

Thanks.

Jolyon Watkins

Free bump to get the Monday morning prime time viewers. :D

Sounds like fun and there are plenty of cars that would meet your requirements. Mine unfortunately is built for go and not show. I call it the Picasso. Looks great from a distance, but is a bit messy up close so I'll decline the offer. I also lack the prerequisite monster body kit to be the archtypical Jap import showcar.

Oh my god...

this is the man who made the Addicted to bass video clip... wow. Check out his portfolio, he's pretty experienced in the car on film area.

This would be perfect exposure for the club and for you're cars, so get off ya lazy arses and get on the commercials!

Guys-

I want to thank you for sending in your shots.

There are some wicked beasts out there- I recieved more Skylines than any other make- A credit to the strength of this forum.

I haven't had a chance to get back to you all yet. We have a pretty tedious approval process between ourselves and the ad agency and the client.

If your're in the final mix of cars our people would have contacted you on friday (23rd).

I'm shooting this week (28-29 July).

4 out of the 5 commercials are for Japanese cars- one is for an aussie V8.

The V8 script is a streetfight standoff between a gang of skyline owners and 1 aussie V8. The single shot will be identical to this shot in the movie Blade. The V8 will be Blade - the skylines / owners creeping into the edge of the shot like the other vampires.

I'm out of money - to pay for these roles- but if you want to bring along your ride (as long as its not white- hard to photograph) and have a bit of fun - write me back on [email protected]

It'll be for about 4-5 hours after hours on either wednesday or Thursday night.

Cheers Jolyon

maybe one of these days we'll get a bit of footage made up and get you to direct :)

Are the ad's you're shooting for Australian airing or for overseas?

I like the blade idea... have to ask tho, at the end do the Skylines beat up the V8? lol or is it going to play out like Blade where the skylines get their hides whooped by the V8? Either way... it should be fun.

Good luck!

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
