Commercial Casting Call

* Black or silver exotic
* Night shoot
* Major international company
* Filming in a 'couple of weeks'

This evening I was contacted with the request. If you own such a car and are interested, send me a message and your best car photo to horsepowering@gmail.com. Its time for a regional car to get some big-time exposure.

Good luck. Must be the new thing. I was approached Thursday for the same type of deal. Turns out they were looking for old school muscle this round. Would be very cool to see one of ours up on the big screen one day.

Major international company makes me wonder if it's a foreign film we'll never see. Either way, if I'm around, I'll make my car available

Interesting. But I'd need to hear more details first. I have experience with how "shoots" end up.

The first round of submissions will be delivered today. The commercial will be filmed in Baltimore. If interested, submissions continue to be accepted. As updates arrive, I'll send a bcc message to the submission list.

It will be seen all over the U.S. For a bit more specificity, its a big product from an internationally-known sportswear/sports equipment company.

Thank you for all of the submissions to date.

Perfect timing. I saw a few folks from the submission group at the GP of Baltimore and I shared the following information. The commercial is for Nike and their new Fuel Band. The car will be 'racing' a model wearing the product. Based on what I have heard, the preliminary location for filming will be Charles Street in Baltimore and the duration may be 3 days.

Specs on insurance, rental car allowance, etc. should be forthcoming.

Sounds good. Thanks Rich. The specific details will undoubtedly be important to the car owner. Appreciate you keeping everyone aware of the details so that a well informed decision can be made by selected car owners.

The process continues. When I receive updates, I'll pass them -- in all available detail -- on to the group.

Good afternoon. Moments ago, I spoke with the commercial's producer and more information has been gathered. The crew is meeting with the film commission this weekend to secure locations and to open the security process with Baltimore City Police. Charles Street is one of the early leaders for location. There may also be some waterfront locations.

Ideally, the shoot will occur over 3 days (8-12 hours per day) in the period between the final week of September and the first 2 weeks of October. The time frame is wide right since they are waiting for the delivery of a new rig that will attach to the camera truck.

Production insurance will be provided for the full value of the car 'plus'. If there are individual needs of the owner, the production team will work with the insurance company to accommodate those needs.

If our schedules can coordinate, I'll be meeting with the team on either Friday or Sunday of this week. Soon afterwards, I hope to share additional information, including additional accommodations for the car owner.

Looking down the road, there is also a TV show pilot on the way that will provide another opportunity for our community's automobiles. I'll keep the group posted as information arrives on this development.

If you have questions, do not hesitate to contact me. Enjoy the remainder of your afternoon.

The commercial is for Nike's Fuel Band!
