Jason Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 As many of you are aware our Supra has been used in a few pop video's, however, you may not be aware that over the past 4 years we have had both the Supra and our Saxo also on TV programmes and in magazines. During this time we have been asked to supply other cars to these programmes/videos etc and we have found the cars the directors have been looking for. This has led to the development of http://www.auto-media.co.uk, an agency specifically aimed at finding cars and possibly motorbikes for TV, Video's, Advertising etc. The company is still in it's early stages but if you wish to register for the agency you can email [email protected] for details. There is NO sign up fee. The web site is still in development so apologies for that. Cars do not have to be heavily modified as the director may not want the car that way. We are looking for all makes of cars including bikes too. All we ask is that car looks it's best for any work that may arise. Should you have any other question please ask and we will be glad to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 We have reposted as we have not heard from people we would have expected to hear from! We have had a fantastic response from other car clubs but the Supras have gone quiet. Lots of people asked us how to get on TV or in video shoots and we said it was the luck of being in the right place at the right time. We have set up the agency to help people be in that situation. There is NO sign up fee and we are not making any guarantees or promises. Supras are one of the most loved cars in the UK and look stunning on film, so please let us know if you are interested so we can get you registered.

Green Peace Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 My Supra has been on telly in 'Harry and Cosh' Channel 5... Starring: The Supra, Harry Capehorn, Coshti Dowden, and Lucinda Rhodes Flaherty...October 2003! There is also a company called Action Cars...Would be nice to see some competition...I work in telly and will pass on your details to Production Managers and Props Buyers should I happen to work on anything appropriate in the future... You could also try advertising in Kemps, Kays and The Production File...or just mailshot Prop Buyers and Production Managers...It will be very difficult to compete with Action Cars, but dont let that put you off. One other way of approaching this would be to specialise (as you do) and approach Action cars and the like and offer this service to them!!! ...Good Luck!

Whitelightning Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Could you tell us more about this ? Lead time. Costs. Delivery and admin. Most of us work and most of us love our cars so don't just give them away. Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 Cheers for your support, I will get back to people asap. Sometimes cars are needed at short notice but we would tried to give as uch notice as possible. If there are any funds available to cover owners expenses, you would be notified and the payment would be made direct to you as the owner. Unfortunately, there aren't always funds avaiable but you still get the glory of your car being used for a production! You dont need to do any admin other than registering, and giving us updates if you alter your car. There is no admin fee to owners, we do all the work. We are not in this to make a fortune but to give others the kind of chances we have had. Greenpeace - I have heard of Action Cars, and I am hoping that by specialising we will fill a gap in the market that we have become aware of. I will contact you via PM as I have already tried to get info from Kemps and your offer of help is fantastic! Jason and Pippa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Ill keep you updated on the progress of my baby. I have already had interest from a production house making a movie called RUN.. A sort of street movie London style. Sounds a little tacky as there is supposed to be a race between a jap super car (mine is what they are thinking) and a Rolo Phantom And the Phantom is supposed to win! Yea right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason and Pippa Yep I just got expenses, and a free valet, free lunch and several hugs with Lucinda...but i worked on the programme so felt obliged to let em have it for expenses only...there is a 'Going rate structure' I'm sure...but the fun of having ya car on telly or film is great regardless. I guess it ranges from providing your car totally free, to providing your car for expenses, to getting the reccomended rate...I'm not sure what the rate is but i will find out if ya like but thats TV and Film..though Film Pop promo's or Commercials will always pay real money. But yeah if i can be of any help I will be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 It does depend on the programme, especially on TV, some of the budgets for one episode of a programme are tiny, especially if they are run by smaller independant production companies. But some of the budgets for the music videos are huge! Supras and other high performance cars are expensive to run, so you would always have the choice to not accept a booking if no funds are available for your expenses. But if we can get it for you we will. Pippa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
