End of February, beginning of March 2011 and I found myself deep in a production on the east coast. Working with friends on a small crew, we shot 8 days in a row – for a client in Virginia, Vermont, and New Hampshire. Rig shots, chase cars, POV cameras, and plenty of interviews. Here is a quick behind the scenes look at some of my favorite images and still photos. It was an awesome project to direct/dp.
Vermont was still freezing and got hit by the largest March snow storm in state history while we were there. Check out all that pow.
Finally got to shoot some more rally. Tim ONeil’s driving school was prime with plenty of new Ford Fiesta rally cars. Nice sideways shot from the slalom course.
Everyone on our team was good behind the lens – here out DIT/DAT Colby takes a break from transferring and logging to snap some stills.
Wyatt Knox & Verena Mei, in-car screen grab from ONeil’s. Looks like fun in a FWD Rally Mazdaspeed 3.
Art director, Dave Spoonman Padgers explores the powder.

Tag team partner DC Chavez is ready to operate, produce, rig, whatevers clever – he wears many hats and they all look good.
Car prep at Vermont Sports Car was neat to see production Subaru WRXs get transformed into Rally America machines.
Sound recordist guru of LA sound gypsies – Justin Gay leans back in VA. We were in search of some BBQ – which we found on the last night.

Excited to post up the final product in the next few weeks. Thanks to all the crew and agency homies who made the project fun. Thanks to cheese for the snaps of the crew. All other stills are screen grabs from the video itself.
