Southern California Delorean owners, I need your help on a short not- for-profit semi-professional video project that I will be working on in your area in mid-February. I can't pay anyone, but you will get to see your car on screen, and to participate in a unique day of location filming, and be able to obtain a free copy of the video for yourself when it is done. I will be asking Ken Koncelik to let me screen the finished video at the upcoming Delorean Car Show this June in Gettysburg, and it will also be screened at several sci-fi fantasy conventions around the world. It will be a sci-fi/fantasy/time travel story, set in the world of the long-running BBC-TV series "Doctor Who", with three of the original professional actors from the original TV series reprising the roles they played in the series. I make one of these films every year as part of a creative workshop connected to a celebrity/fan vacation cruise that I run for fans of Doctor Who, and this year I'm am adding a Delorean-themed twist to the workshop film. Part of the plot involves the time- traveling Doctor and his traveling companion visiting 1982 Los Angeles when they accidentally change history by tipping off John Delorean to the truth behind the impending covert drug sting that the government was planning to entrap him with. They then travel 20 years into the future to find a slightly different 2002 where John & the car company are a huge success, and with people driving our cars everywhere. That's where YOU come into it... We need to stage several short "scene establishing" transition shots, which will show recognizable Hollywood/LA area landmark sites & buildings, with LARGE numbers of Deloreans mixed into the everyday car traffic passing by, making it appear that they are EVERYWHERE. We should be able to pull off the shots with anywhere between 30 and 50 cars, which we know is technically achievable, as our friends at DMC California managed to coordinate about 70 cars to show up for the ride closing ceremony at Universal Studios last August. The more cars we can draw, the better. We will be planning to do the location filming on Wednesday 13 February, with a backup date of Thursday 14 February in case of heavy rain, or if additional time is required to complete the shooting. These are the only days we will be able to do these scenes. It will be coordinated throughout the day for the group of cars to move across the area from one location to the next as we finish each shot, and it will be a huge help if you have a cell phone and/or a FRS two-way radio with you to keep up on timing and cues (and if you happen to have a GPS unit, that would be nice too.) If you do NOT have a Delorean but would still like to help, we will also need a few additional volunteers to help out in pre-positioning the cars on the day, and also with advance scouting of the areas around the locations in the weeks between now and then so we can operate more smoothly and quickly on the shooting day. If you'd like to help out, please e-mail me privately off of this forum at FloridaDelorean@xxxxxxx (FloridaDelorean AT aol DOT com) and we'll take it from there. Thanks in advance for the help that I know I can count on from many of you.
