Working with a Detroit Ad Agency & my reps at Getty we were awarded this project shooting for GMC and Sea Ray Boats. The end product was 12x15 foot banners to be used at home & boat shows. The corresponding GMC Truck would be parked in front of the displays. With the GMC trucks parked it gave the view facade of the Sea Ray Boats being towed behind it... This could be you ;-) !
After extensive location scouting we found an area that suited all our projects needs for the original 4 Sea Rays we shot in the Tampa area of Florida. Working closely with the local Sea Ray dealer our production team coordinated with the drivers and detailers to make sure everyone understood what we needed and when. They did a great job and they enjoyed watching how all the magic is made. We had great weather (as planned) and we were able to shoot at 2-3 locations a day to give the agency some options...I love giving options!
Technically we had to work with the display manufacturers to create the correct angles and heights of the trailer hitches. We wanted to make sure the displays looked great close up so we reached out to Chris Snipes at http://www.captureintegration.com for our digital needs. Chris was great he was on set when needed and super accommodating working with our timeline.
The Agency and Client loved everything from the selection of images to the ease of the working with the team and our communication. Shortly after they decided to expand the campaign and we shoot down in the Florida Keys for the fifth Sea Ray boat.
