Cali_KR Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 I had rec'd an email from a local Bay Area film company looking for cars for a Texaco commercial titled "Cool Cars". In the email they said they wanted two Mopars, a Cobra and a Shelby Mustang. I emailed them pix of my 68KR, and they came back all lathered up, and said they had to have it! The shoot was scheduled for this past June 4, out at the Byron Airport, in east Contra Costa County (just north of Tracy CA). Our car was the "hero" (meaning feature) car, and my call time was 9:30am, and was to be there until 8:30pm, as they wanted to get film in all the varying light, and as such rec'd the most camera time (hopefully it all doesn't end up on the editing room floor...) It was a fascinating day, and the volume of equipment and people was staggering, quite a major deal (I was told the budget was $175k)....and then the camera car showed up...yeowzers (google: Pursuit Systems), the tech that was loaded onto the Porsche Cayenne was amazing. really cool stuff.... They also told me they would be digitally changing my car color to black...The Cobra was a Superformance car (which I got to drive), the Roadrunner was OK, as was the Challenger , and all three red cars look good onscreen ... They are to produce 3 ads, one 30 second TV spot, and two 15 second internet banner ads, and these will be released on July 2. Here is the link to some pix I loaded into photobucket. Enjoy In case you were wondering, yes I was compensated, and fed, very well I might add, on both counts... http://s968.photobucket.com/user/cali_kr/library/Texaco%20commerical%20shoot%20June%204%202014?sort=4&page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SVT NAJA Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Tom, Great stuff. If the phone starts ringing when the Texaco ad is released, the KR may need an agent. And production set caterers are the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KR09 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Can't wait to see the commercial. I don't think I would want my KR to be changed to black digitally though. I think she is beautiful just the way she is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
