Default M3 mini photoshoot + commercial

Sometimes it's a great thing when you have some cool friends around. My good friend Eric Kieu is probably one of the very best photographers I know.

His photography eyes and photo editing skills are just nothing short of amazing. He shoots/shot for Import Tuner, Falken, Turbo, Luxury Exotics, MOD, Siphon, ADDX, Super Street, Motor Trend, Sport Compact Car, and the list goes on.

He took a chance to do a mini shoot on my M3 and here are the results. Sorry I had to make them uglier by putting on logo for Eric to protect him.

He also did photoshoot of my SC430, LS460L, and GS350

And I was lucky enough to run into another very cool buddy as well, Gevorg Karensky. He's a student at Art Center Colledge of Design, but don't underestimate what they can do. One late evening of work and some editing / work, he and his crew used my M3 to create the following awesome BMW commercials from scratch. It was amazing to see how they did it and all the fun, great guys to hang out with! Even though the shoot was from midnight till almost morning, it was well worth it!

Before you ask, all the footages are real

Enjoy

Thanks for sharing Henry. The composition in the 1st piC is a little off. Sorry I know he's your friend and all.... But he made it up and done it right by picking the PERFECT male model. Who is he do you know? Cause he's just so handsome and yummy!

mounted the camera to the car to shoot all the scene, then edited out all the poles and such. completely separate pure sound recording sessions, and then more editing.

yeah, that's a lot of burnouts and donuts on my car
