Use your car in movie and photo shoots
Hi!
We’re from Creative Film Cars in Manhattan. We are the Northeast’s premier provider of vehicles for film, television, fashion shoots, magazines and events.
Ever wonder whose cars those models are draping themselves over in Vogue Magazine, or are sitting in the background of the latest Scorsese flick? They are privately owned cars just like yours. From show winning trailer queens, to the wreck that has been parked in front of your apartment for weeks these productions use them, and they pay.
We would like to invite the members of your forum in the New York City metro area to submit their vehicles to our free film car database.
Basically, we act as an agent for your vehicle. You supply us with a few photos and we put them in front of our hundreds of clients, and on our online database. When a client selects your ride, we contact you immediately, see if you’re interested, and send you a contract. In most cases no driving will be required. They just have to look the part.
As a fully licensed and insured company, your car is safe and covered with a one million dollar policy. At the shoot, you are welcome to stay with your vehicle to ensure that is treated in the manner, and with the respect it deserves. A CFC representative will attend every shoot to guarantee that everything goes smoothly. Location, length of shoot, and use of vehicle are among the factors that determine payment. The moment the shoot is completed you get a check in your hand. Now wasn't that easy?
Additional benefits are increasing the vehicles provenance, value, possible tax write-offs, and seeing your vehicles in print or on film.
Go to http://www.creativefilmcars.com/submit.htm and submit your vehicle. It's really pretty simple. It costs nothing to be listed with our company and your information is protected and will never be shared with anyone. Ever.
For more info give us a call at 212-864-4060, or go to http://www.creativefilmcars.com.
Cheers,
Donald and John

Yeah I think there was a lot of banter about this last time. Anyone actually try to work with them? Anyone get anywhere beyond filling out forms?

Well once you fill out forms and submit pics, it's just a waiting game to see if anybody out there wants to use your car.
These guys act like an agent, they put your car out there for the big shots to choose from.

Well for movies sometimes they want particular cars, maybe like HS kids from the 70s driving in fbodys etc. If you film a movie takign place in a certain era, you need usually a bunch of random cars from that time to make it seem more realistic. The actual vehicle and condition may not really matter. Last summer, my truck was used for a movie (not through this company though, my neighbor knew people) and that truck was a rusted out 85 chevy c2500. The movie should be out by this summer. They also used a trailer and 2 lawnmowers from me to use as props since one of the characters was a landscaper.

I still have to send them the pictures of my car. It would be cool if they used it in a movie.

The deal may go sour. They want to remove the door. I'm not sure if that is a good idea. Trying to work it out.
I will probably be at Wyckoff tomorrow night. I will be showing my car for the first time, come by and say Hi.

Why in heck would they want to remove your door?
I don't really see it being a problem. The cars are covered under an insurance policy while on set, so if anything were to happen to the door during removal/reinstall it should be covered by them.
