Our production company just got a hold of an amazing camera, the Sony PMW-EX1, and being the camera tech here, I need to get familiar with it and go take it out for test shoots. What better to film than Coopers? So anyone down for a "motoring" this weekend, send me a PM, let's get together and see how your Mini looks in HD.

P.S. in about a month we get the RED ONE, a 4k camera (4 times the definition of High Definition, HD=1920x1080, 4k=4096x2304!) and I'll be wanting Mini voluteers for that as well.

I can provide copies of all the footage shot to anyone who is in it (i'll have my laptop and blank DVD's on hand).

 

i'm interested... but audrey has a lot of small imperfections i'm embarassed of... she's 5 years old, 61k miles, and lots of tiny, tiny chips and dings. if that doesn't bother you lemme know!

 

there is an autocross put on by bmwcca this Sunday at candlestick, may be a good place to get some shots. My first time out so im not sure sure of their rules on visitors. Shoot them an email and find out.

 

sushiboi, no worries, I don't discriminate if coopers have lots of "charecter" (I'll send a PM shortly), 483 fitter I'm checking into the availiblity for guests to come film to fun, if they are down (to let me film) then I'll be there!

 

Sounds like a run up to Mt Hamilton is in order.

 

Mt. Hamilton looks like it'd be a pretty rad drive, Mt. Tam and Bolinas / Stinson beach are always a nice drive, too. I haven't been down to Mt. Hamilton, i'm always down for new area's. Sushiboi, what say you? You down to cruise to Mt. Hamilton, or you want to stay closer and head over to Bolinas or stay in the bay and just go artsy in town? I have an open schedual all weekend, pleanty of recording media (SxS sticks) and free hard drive space, and given I'm capturing "stock footage" work may pick up the gas bill so I'm up for anything. Tenatively do we want to say saturday early afternoon at 10? (sunday works for me too, the autocross may not be as accessible as I previously had hoped) meet at pier 30/32 for some stills and go from there? I'll have the cell on me, (314)276-3772.

Any and all are welcome! The bigger the posse the better!

 

I'll be interested in a future meet (no time this w/end), and to see the RED in person (i won't touch ;-) )

 

bad news for me this weekend too... my moving has been pushed back a day so this weekend won't work. i'll let you know when i'm free next so maybe we can rendevous with some more mini's! thanks for your consideration brg... please keep in touch!
