God forbid they make life less stressful on the debt slaves. Well, every so often they dangle a carrot over the slaves to give them hope. But they never, ever get a bite of it. Look at this thing. Will you ever be able to buy one in the USA? My guess is NO! You must pay $30, 000 for a truck!

This is Pacific Coast Highway showing Huntington Beach oil wells. Back in the day, California used to be #2 in oil production in the USA, just behind Texas. CA does not even rate in the top 5 now. The top five crude oil-producing states and their percentage shares of total U.S. crude oil production in 2022 were: Texas 42.5% New Mexico 13.3% North Dakota 8.9% Colorado 3.7% Alaska 3.7% https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/oil-and-petroleum-products/where-our-oil-comes-from.php It is always hard to date things for the archivist when no dates are marked on the originals. Cars can help date things. The cars shown here are from mid 1920s. I saw another photo that was being sold from this collection of the Brea oil fields in CA that was dated 1927. So that gives some time frame. <><><><> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Small Gauge Film Archive Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Advertising Archive Daniel D.

Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Advertising Archive 1936 ad Back in the day they had rumble or dickie seats. Looked tough to get in and out of one. Within a couple years rumble seats would be a thing of the past in the USA. Brits still had them for another decade. <><><><> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D.

Hi everyone. I'm not exactly a student or a new filmmaker, but I am closer to a new filmmaker, than a professional DP, so that's why I'm posting here. Apologies to moderators if it's in the wrong section. I'm filming a low budget car commercial for a small community tv channel and I am wondering what the best options are to film a moving car. I basically want to be able to make the most out of a little to no budget as possible, whether using guerilla style filmmaking or out the box ideas, I need some guidance. I want basically get multiple moving angles of a car driving on the road. My options so far are: Film the car out the window from another car. Use a pillow as a vibration/shake absorber while holding the camera on the door through the window opening. My angles and height are very restricted and I can only pan very slightly. Film the the car from the back of a pickup truck (in SA, we call these vans), with a little jib to get some dynamic movement, however while this option provides the most creative shot options, it could also provide me with, you know, death. So I'm not really considering this as an option, but if I found a way to safely set this up then I would do it. Film the car by sticking my camera out of the window and holding the top handle. I cannot hire a 3-axist gimbal to fit my FS700 in my city but I could use my Glidecam, however I don't have much confidence in this option. So you see, I am basically lost for options here. Every bts video I have seen of a car commercial has mind blowingly expensive rigs that are built into vehicles. I need some cheaper options. Thanks!
