Nobles wanted for short film!
Discussion
Hey guys,
I have a problem!
The problem is, I only own one noble
I'd thought I'd swing by and ask the nobility for a favour and at the same time present an interesting opportunity as well!
One of the current film projects I'm writing and directing is a short action piece. We're pretty heavy into pre-production right now, and actually some the FX shots have been started etc. Basically we're committed and aim to start shooting the bulk next month. The short is essentially an extreme action piece with a dark dramatic twist.
The film documents a covert merc. team, employed to carry out a last minute rescue mission, that find themselves in an unusual situation that essentially goes spectacularly wrong.
Alot of the action is focused on hyper realistic gun play, using a vast array of modern weapons. We're employing a bewildering array of different pistols, shotguns, sub machine guns, assault rifles, and grenade launchers. There are also various vehicles, including an apache that gets blown up (I'm actually just finishing building the raw 3d model for that now, before passing it over to our texture guys
[url]www.fightstarmusic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12490[/url])
Anyway the upshot of all this is. The introduction sees the mercs getting word of the mission and rolling out hard to the target. Originally we had them moving out in military vehicles but this was before we really developed all the characters.
You can probably guess where all this is leading... ha ha yes, now when presented with a close proximity threat they roll out in Nobles.
I can see the replies aleady! but to pre-empt them at least a little...to find out exactly what kind of elite merc. team drive nobles into battle you'll just have to watch the film!
Ok down to specifics:
I ideally need the following:
-Two BLACK GTO 3R's
The owners must be willing to:
-Drive their own cars in the shots.
-Get dressed up and painted up to look like some kind of SWAT killing machine.
-Have a cammo net put over their car. (I've tested this on my 3r... no worries).
-Drive their car onto grass (literally pull off a country road and park on short grass)
The shots we're going for, essentially break down into two areas. The first is the more ambitious one. The 3 black nobles drive side by side in perfect formation, (across 3 lanes) down a section of motorway. Which will be shot from a bridge at night. Think slow shutter speeds, lots of nice light trails... heavy grade, new wave miami vice / collateral look. We'll need to run this a good few times and possibly in two locations. This is where you will drive your own car and be made to look like one of the cast from a distance. The second is leaving the road, parking the cars, and covering them with cammo nets. Again you
will drive your car, but it may be necessary to have actual cast 'get out' of the cars, depending on shot break down. The likelihood here is that we will be able to use my noble for these shots.
- and here's the kicker... To do all of the above for free!
So thats essentially the favour I'm asking! Having said that though, I'm sure we'll have a blast getting these shots. Plus I'm proud to be promoting Noble in any way I can, and I'm pretty sure you guys will feel the same. Also It'll be a lasting memory of your car and you get to be an elite mercenary too! (obviously we'll get you DvD's of the film when its done and invites to the first showing at a short festival!)
I started a visual FX company on the side of what I do with my band, and this short is very much a bunch of film guys and FX artists getting together to create something cool for the purposes of, having fun, creating some killer FX shots for our reels, and to put out to film festivals. So if you're into the idea of being part of this, then post or PM me. Then we can discuss dates, locations and further specifics.
Later guys,
Dan.

Your in a band, can afford a Noble, and the link is to a FightStar forum. It can't be can it? I thought everyone from Fighstar was young anyway. If so, saw you at Reading....before going and watching Send More Paramedics 
, which was a complete waste of time because they were rubbish.
Anyway back to topic, I have a blue Clio, sorry.

Damn, your mentioned on wikopedia 
thats an achievement. It sounds like you have the coolest jobs too, im feeling very jealous right now.
After being pleasently suprised at Reading and now finding out one of the band drives a Noble I have a whole lot more respect now....mainly because of the Noble thing though

I assume this is a comedy, with heavily armed mercs trying to jump in and out of Nobles? And I guess all the gear fits in the passenger seat? Or is there a new line of depleted uranium custom luggage available now?
Have you considered the Laurel and Hardy theme music?
Seriously, love to see the product.

Evening guys,
thanks for all the quick responses! It's awesome that there is such good will amongst this community.
It seems however, that so far, there's a distinct lack of the best coloured noble out there.
Just kidding!
It's entirely possible for us to use the darker coloured cars if we dont get both black extras. Under the planned lighting conditions the variations will be beyond subtle.
If anyone else is interested please dont hesitate to message.
Thanks again,
Dan
