Looking for a Prius for a PSA commerical

creativefilmcars · 08-18-2006, 01:04 PM

Hello,

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.

We are looking for a light blue or green Prius for a Public Service Announcement-style commercial. The commecial is being shot in Northern New Jersey on the afternoon/evening of Tuesday, August 22nd. The Pruis will be driven a short distance (up to a gas pump) on a closed set. You will be compensated for your time and the rental, and your vehicle will be fully insured for the duration of the shoot.

Please don’t hesitate to call us at 212-864-4060 if you are interested in participating, and we will be happy to answer any questions that you may have.

To describe more fully what we do:

First, 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. You will be paid for the rental and your time.

Second, we act as a caretaker. As a fully licensed and insured company, your car is safe and covered with a one million dollar policy. A CFC representative will attend every shoot to guarantee that everything goes smoothly. At the shoot, you are welcome to stay with your vehicle to ensure that it is treated in the manner, and with the respect it deserves. 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 and we will take the time to answer any of your questions, or go to http://www.creativefilmcars.com/ .

Thank you,
Donald and John

I can't get out there for this, but do you deal with stuff in California. I am sure there would be many interested parties out here on the left coast.

While the majority of our shoots are based in the New York City metropolitan region, we do have a West Coast affiliate in the Bay Area. We could refer them, if the need arose.

As always, please feel free to give us a call at 212-864-4060, if you have any questions.

Thank you,

It's a creative decision by the producers, the blue and green metaphorcially representing earth and sky. The other vehicle in the commercial is a big black gas guzzling SUV.

I thought it must be something like that. Sounds cool.

“. . . a Public Service Announcement-style commercial.”
“ . . . welcome to stay with your vehicle to ensure that it is treated in the manner, and with the respect it deserves.”
“The other vehicle in the commercial is a big black gas guzzling SUV.”

How do we know this isn't a Public Service Announcement -"style" [weasel word] commercial FOR the SUV, and our Prius would be treated with the disrespect potential SUV buyers would be expected to exhibit?

Just Kidding. :P

By the way, my Prius would demand artistic control over any scene in which it is featured.

Smug little thing. Fame has gone to its head.

You aren't going to blow it up are you??

Inside joke...

When the time comes, please let us know in which markets this PSA will be aired. Thanks.
