If we need to get some sort of account with Advanced or Autozone or something like that, let me know. Ill call them at work and see what we can do.

Never was too fond of Walmart myself. Went to the one in South Plainfield to get a "Poster Print Frame", and everyone they had, was destroyed. I couldn't find a Salesperson to help me locate a good one, so I left, and yup, I too went to K-Mart, and got exactly what I wanted. In fact the "Poster Frame" K-Mart had, was nicer than the ones in Walmart.

You may have to deal with their abyss called Headquarters. I know that's the answer I've usually gotten from the local stores, whenever I've approached them about sponsoring anything related to the "Car Clubs" I belong to.

Good luck Mr. Phelps (obscure reference to "Mission Impossible :) )

The advantage that I have is that I am bigger and I see these people on a daily basis. I can talk to them directly.
They owe me...they didnt give us any Christmas gifts this year. See who buys parts from WHOM this year.

you might have to go to Kmart, too. :D

We arent officialy melded together yet.
The new name will be called...get ready...




S-Mart.





:lol:

Sounds a lot like the result of that mythical merger of Bisquick and Pillsbury :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh, and hopefully your status as a volume purchaser will carry more weight. If this flies, see what they'll do for a couple of car clubs up my way :wink:

Happy New Year, and here's to AGCS becoming the next "Monster Garage" in terms of popularity :)

remember when using digital cameras.....you can only record as long as somones memory card can hold....the 6mb i have now only holds about 5 or so minutes of steady film.
so unless you have all three cameras with 512mb-1gig memory cards, you will need laptops that you can download the footage to every 5-10 minutes and then go back and edit it later.

i am purchasing the new pinncle software and "dazzle" (uploads off analog tape and whatnot, and includes the program to convert to dvd format), and i have a cannon zr85 mini cam that did come with a tripod.

only problem for me helping out might be getting so far north.

Hopefully someone in the group has the solution to these problems

"Shop smart....shop S-Mart!"

I love those movies!!!!!!!

i got my itinerary today. i leave on the 26th of january and will return on the 24th of february.

nice avatar, justin.

any transportation issues can be covered as they occur, or as soon in advance as is humanly possible. i don't foresee transportation EVER being a problem in getting this project done, even if i have to run around and pick everyone up (thank god i bought that jeep for my wife :D).

i believe there is a way to download in realtime from the camera to the laptop - but i might be mistaken. those issues are among the ones i expect to find solutions for before we start filming, but i certainly appreciate them being brought up now. i priced the cards, 512MB is $40, 1GB is about $65 or so. this is part of my plea for a letter to send to organizations so we have enough time for them to respond back and get some cash or merchandise, whichever it turns out they want to donate to the cause.

i reiterate my request for said letter. if i knew how to write it, it would have been written (my garammer is not so gooood :D). hasn't anyone ever done work for a non-profit organization in the past?

jim.....may i ask where you got the prices on those cards? i believe a gig is in the cards for me at those prices

if anyones interested i have a little 5 minute clip of what ive taught myself sofar, with just the stock microsoft moviemaker program

that was wal-mart, right before they pissed me off and i left. :D

show the clip, or give us a link where it's hosted.

ill have to email, i have no hosts lol

Looks like things are moving right along, which is a good thing. :D If I only had Â*a 48 hour day, then I'd have time to do more, but I don't, so I'll settle for doing what I can do, and can the rest.

e-mail it to me at tru2chevy@gmail.com

I'll host it for ya.

i know where their is a garage with like six bays and its kinda nice for cheap not sure but i know its not expensive its in mt holly

please gather information on the garage, like rates, availability, etc. i will be gone for a month, but as soon as i get back this project is going to get cranked up.

My g/f makes commercials/music videos/infomercials/promo vids for a living, I dunno if that helps with anything, but here is her company's contact info:

Magi Filmworks and Multimedia
magi@magifilmworks.com
973-675-6244

It's a small operation, but the have done work for a lot of car dealerships for TV(Loman Ford & Autoland) and for in-house display(the million Flemington car dealerships that are all single operator owned). Â*They are very good at piecing together what a client wants. Â*If this help at all and you wanna call them, tell them Rachael's boyfriend George sent you.
Later

Oh yeah, I have a digi cam-corder and Adobie Premier 6 on my computer if that also helps.

Looks like this project is starting to take shape.
Jim, give me some advance notice before you start crankin, things have been more than a bit upside down for me lately, and I unfortunately can't react on short notice to anything these days

Done in bold, so it's easier to read

i'm back.

Good to see you back Jim...
