Cars wanted for film... (South East)

Recommended Posts

There is a new film called Dolphins being released in cinemas next year. They are currently filming around the Brighton area. (Using my 300zx as a main car )

They have asked if I could help get some cars together for a 'cruise' type scene they are filming. Cars will be required Tueday and Wednesday and will need to be able to get to Newhaven/Brighton areas.

I've watched a fair bit of the film develop over the last few weeks and it's looking pretty good and very professional. (People from Emmerdale and Lock Stock in it)

If you want the full details send us a pm and I'll forward locations and times etc on.

Hey, the SXOC boys dont like the idea of this.

Details in this thread show meeting place etc.. and their views on it.

 

Take what they say if you want to. personally I think it might be ok and not to chavvy!

 

It was a cold call done tonight! bit short notice for a "professional outfit" don't you think? meet in a car park, and they want doughnuts:sly: and apparently its about an old Capri! i think you will find that its been posted on some of the baseball and hoody populalated sites to, so i'm pretty sceptical, and i could go along as i'm only 30 mins away.

Hmm. That post is concerning. I was told by the car co-ordinator to keep the location low-key to avoid the chav brigades turning up although they did want some non-jap modified cars to make it look like a genuine cruise style scene.

From what I've seen so far it is being done very professionally, the first day of filming must have equalled about 5 minutes of film time. It is full on camera's on rails, lighting and sound crews etc.

And I can confirm the Capri being used is pretty mental. Running over 600bhp plus nitrous and 15" wide rear tyres. It's worth coming to have a look anyways even if you don't want your car on film just to see what goes on. It's pretty interesting stuff. :yes:

Wednesday evening would be the best time to pop along if you're going to travel a distance.

The film is low budget for the film industry, that doesn't mean it's a guy with a camcorder though. They've got the full works with regards to equipment, from proper flat bed camera vehicles, sound crew, co-ordinators etc. If you'll lucky, last time they had a few cars turn up, everyone got free pizza!!
