Hi guys ! Looking for a location around Tampa area or within an hour of there to do some stills and filming for a "behind the scenes" video. We are looking for somewhere with a vintage feel and some atmosphere and ideally a hot rod or custom business that would also have a few vehicles on site that would allow us to use one in the filming. A budget is available and we will be coming across from the UK for this so really looking for some good local knowledge and help/advice if anybody thinks that they could help or point us in the right direction. Below is a shot that we did recently near LA (Old Crow Speed Shop) and one of another car near San Fran, it's the sort of location we are looking for regard to the shop and type of feel of car we are looking for. Filming will be for one day only and we would only need to work in one area for the shoot rather than take over the whole place as I do realise that's not ideal and we appreciate that the location is a operating business also. Your help is greatly appreciated once again ! Thanks a lot ! Jess and Tim Wallace http://www.ambientlife.co.uk
creative workshop in dania beach fl is where you should go. vintage looking building incredible vehicles and craftmanship.
I agree with 59 Brook. I worked at Creative Workshop in the late nineties. It is funky the building was a feed store, before Chris Smith the orignal owner started the restoration shop.
Thanks to you both ! We had a look and it's really nice ! But unfortunately for the filming crew it's too far from Tampa ! But Tim is really interested so I guess we will go there for personal stuff... But thanks again we really appreciate your help ! Have a good wknd guys !
