Hey fellow NAMers!

So as the title says I am doing a documentary about the most amazing cars out there....MINI COOPERS!!

I am currently a senior TV production major at Cali State Northridge. This is our final project for my summer school class. This is still in the pre-production stage so we are not 100% sure if we are going to do this idea. We have to get it approved by the teacher and that is where you wonderful people come in!

So the documentary you might be wondering hmm what about the Mini are they going to do it on. My group was thinking to talk about the large demographic Mini brings in, the "culture" of Mini and how freakin awesome your car is!

I need my NAM friends to let me know if they would be interested to be a part of this. We will most likely be filming the week of June 23th. If you are available anytime that week let me know. Second I need some personal information from you like name, age, and phone. Third give me some awesome pictures of your car and what makes it different. You can just PM me this information. I need this information to show my teacher that we have people.

It would be helpful if you lived close to or around the Northridge but if not thats fine too.

Also since you will be on camera you will be signing release forms letting us use your wonderful face and car.

Since we are using Mini are a brand I was wondering if anyone could give me a corporate number to Mini USA so I can see if we can use the brand. This would be so helpful if we got it because then I could make this idea of mine become a reality!

Thanks everyone in advance who reads this and all those that respond to me! If you read this and know someone who might ask them and tell them to respond to me! THANKS A TON!!

 

bump!!

 

culture & demographics? you should probably go to mtts and do some people watching and filming there, right up your ally

 

I would but the last day of class is the first week of July so MTTS is a little late :-/

 

Anymore people interested?

 

I know it's cutting it close, but have you considered Mini Meet West?

BTW: What will you be using to edit?

 

Oh thats for that info.....I forgot that thing was coming up!

We will be using Final Cut Pro of course!

 

( wishing my MacBook was turbocharged so I could install Final Cut )

For all you wondering how this turned out here is the final product! We took it to a different angle and filmed at the Mini Meets West event. Enjoy everyone!

 

Glad to see you took my advice. Nice doc on Boris.
Editing was nice too.

I bet you'd like to get your hands on a Red.

 

By the way, how did the professor and class react?

 

Nice video.

 

They enjoyed it just a few things we could have changed on it or added.

Oh and your comment about the Red CSUN is actually getting a Red in the Fall but I will never get my hands on it....oh well.

 

Nicely done, was this a pass/fail effort or did the group get an A for the project?

Editing was smooth with very good continuity. Your a film major?
