I can only show it in person until after March 30th. That's when it airs for the first time. The next day 
I'll post it on YouTube and embed it here!

I can't post it yet, But the bank did!
I can post it next week, but turns out the bank has posted it on their YouTube page, so without further delay, here it is ladies and gentlemen....
Ha, interesting. The way the two had their hands on their laps and then how they held hands at the same time seems unnatural. Also, they edited out the light from the footwell (the one I commented on before) but they didn't edit out the glow it makes on the glovebox! Grr!

Yup, and if you watch closely at the beginning you can see a large light on a stand reflected in the windshield too.
If you watch the 'making of' video you can hear them call 'hands' then 'elbow' to cue them. Someone there, I think it was the customer suggested her putting her elbow out.

The process took about 4 and a half hours. The shooting was about a hour. Most of the time was building up that rig the camera was on, and setting up lights and all.

Thanks all.
The elbow was added last minute. I did notice a reflection of a light on the light stand in the windshield. But I am thrilled with the overall 'flyover' type shot. Not something I would have expected them to do.
The funny thing is they didn't tell me what the shot would be or how long. I thought it might be a second or two of my car from the outside at most. And I certainly didn't anticipate such a shot of the interior. That is funny to me because when I do low key car 'cruise ins' or 'peoples choice' type shows I always get a big reaction to the interior. People walk up saying nice things about the car then they get close enough to see the interior and there is a bigger reaction yet. Might be too much color for some but I like it and it brings a lot of nice comments.
The fellow from the production company who spec'd wanting a red MINI convertible was thrilled when he saw the car and especially the interior.
