Default "Power tv's photoshoot" this friday......

So there legit right?
I guess I got picked for the shoot. They want me to drop of the car there on Friday. Has anyone worked with them before? I don't know about their businesses. I want to do the shoot. It seems I have to drop of the car there.i just want some feed back from those who have worked with them in the past.I just want to feel comfortable leaving my car there.

Lets start with the basic question, would you valet your car?

My opinion- your crazy....
1. wasting your time
2. leaving your car with complete strangers
3. its in sticksville

Do yourself a favor and let someone else get fucked. Welcome to reality.

I don't know and really don't care but anyone that has a computer can put that **** up. Same thing with 'I want to borrow your corvette to fabricate a new part.'

If you really want to do it, you need to state that you need to be with the car or no dice. BUT my other 2 points still stand.

^^^^^^ I agree

If you've got to drive it somewhere, why not just stay with it all day? I wouldn't just leave my car with anyone. I've had a couple of shoots done on my '70 and it's actually pretty cool to stay around and watch them shoot the car and see how they set things up. It would really suck to not be there and see a bunch of pics later of them beating the car, do nice big smokey burnouts.

Just stay with the car and you'll be fine.

My friends who have had their cars in film work always go with the cars. You never know when a director might want a girl in heels to lay on your hood and scratch it. It is best if you are there to supervise. Lets face it they are there to do their job and get great pics. They are not really worried about your car.

If you are going to do this, stay with your ride man. Never know what could happen. And you may end up having fun watching your car shot...
