Hot stuff!

Yeah, the cabrio. Of course.

I drove one this weekend.

What took her so long to bring the MINI back!

Could have been done with reversing the characters- pick a different song though.

Nice job! Any idea what format this was shot on? Was this a demo his friend made or something MINI commissioned??

I don't want to say much for him without him posting, but I do believe this is part of a portfolio he is creating for www.bigbrainpictures.com

Yeah, that is how I feel when my wife gets home with the MINI. My first new car. Hers just died, so it's now our ONLY car. BIG transition. I had to teach her how to do things like wrap a napkin around the gas nozzle when filling up to keep from dripping on the paint. When she gets home, I just want to run out and do a walk around! Not that she isn't careful, of course. She's just used to having a beater.

She humors me very well. But I DID cringe when she said "I have to get used to not running over things!" I already told her how irrational I would be if anyhting ever happened to "The Baby."

Thanks to all for the kind words!!!

Hello fellow motorers...it has been a long, long time since I've been around this way so thanks to Tuls for posting this and bringing me back. I didn't know anybody really knew about it yet, since we just posted it. It's now also on our company site at www.bigbrainpictures.com/sunshine

Hafid, being the efficient producer that he is got the whole ball rolling when I put the word out for the convertible and that's where Tammi's little blue one came from.... THANKS TULS (I don't think I ever got to thank you...I'm not sure I knew it was your contact).

Anyway, we shot the commercial without the sanction of MINI, since it's really for our company reel. We were also tyring to see who we could find in the Phoenix area in the way of crew and we were using our new Panasonic DVX 100A and breaking in a new final cut pro editing system. For those film-types, we shot using the 24p frame rate to give it a bit more of a film look.

I hope you all enjoyed it and please send it around to as many enthusiasts as you can think of...you never know where something like this might lead...we, of course, would like to get gigs. Knowing BMW we might just get sued instead

Thanks again for the support and it's good to see some familiar faces...uh, avatars, etc.

Jason

PS-Feel free to give any positive or negative feedback.

I know some will like that very last shot, but I just didn't like the where the camera angle was tilting down while the MINI sped away, somehow to me, the tilting down just didn't seem to fit with the rest of the flik.

Hey there Dominic, long time no see!!!!

Thanks for the feedback. I'll have to take a look at the shot, but it's not actually a tilting shot. However, it's interesting that you would say that because in retrospect it doesn't really fit with the scale of most of the other shots, but unfortunately we had to stay kind of low and then dolly towards the curb as the car drives off. I stayed low because we didn't have the money to control the traffic and what was being seen donw the street. So it's probably the odd lowness that you're responding to.

Now, i'm going to want to do reshoots, because what I should have done was started with a low shot of the car and Blanche's feet walking into frame and then craned up as the car pulled away. That would have been much glossier and fit more with the rest of the shoot. Damn, you should have been reviewing my storyboards before I shot the thing.

I guess I'll never be done learning so thanks again Dominic, this has been a great bit of feedback and something for me to think about.

Also, if you're ever out in Gold Canyon look me up and swing by. I'm sure there are at least a few cruises that go by my house.

Later,

J.

Great spot that's well executed! It looks high $$$ with great lighting and some awesome post production. Even the soundtrack is perfect.

IMHO, and no offense (I am not an actor or talent agent so my opinion has no ground to stand on), but your actors are a little weak. I'm not buying the guy's "puppy dog" emotion. Is he upset or constipated? Whatever it is, it looks too forced. The girl, as hot as she is, acts like she's a reject from a Mentos spot. I get the feeling that these folks were some friends that volunteered with the project.

Just my 2 pennies.

One thing that needs to be realized, and I've been there, done that is that for a demo reel, that indeed IS what normally happens.

You don't have much money to spend, and most of what you do is for trade. You find some unknown talent---from local acting schools, or friends, or sometimes through agencies you can get lucky. But unfortunately in most cases you gotta take what you can get.

I think the guy was alright, the only thing I didn't like was the "kiss" the Hottie was doing--looked more like a frown before she opened her eyes-or maybe she's one of those lousy kissers and that's why he was more drawn to the MINI.

I'll be making my own 2cent post in a second.
