One of my most favorited/enjoyed movies; especially when I own a MINI Cooper of my own! I called up a couple of guys in my MINI club and said; "HEY, can you help me with a photoshoot?"
"A who what shoot?"
"A photoshoot, see I'm involved in this online photo contest where....." [a couple more minutes of yaking to follow]
Well long story short I went to where I work and borrowed their bucket truck. These guys showed up with their cars "MINI Coopers like the movie", and we shot away.
It only took them about 4-5 passes to get an acceptable shot. I do know a little more about how I might set up the next scene but with the bucket truck and getting other people involved this shot pretty much takes the cake for the most effort I've put into a shot yet.
A few things that I'd like to point out about the movie and how I tried to copy it: 1. Car's colors Movie - Red, White & Blue
Photo - Red, White & Black
2. Trains / Tracks Movie - Boxcars are final departure method
Photo - Boxcars are in the background
3. Movie / DVD case Movie - Black and Yellow stripes
Photo - Black and Yellow border
