BRING A TRAILER - SUCCESS STORIES

We love telling stories about cars and the people who drive them. Bring a Trailer, the number one online auction house for unique cars and memorabilia, asked us to share tales from a selection of their favorite success stories. The assignment was simple but enticing: capture the narratives of three car enthusiasts and what their vehicles mean to them.

In classic California style, we had to navigate between three different people, scattered across the state, in just three days. Our production needed to be lean, mobile, and always ready to roll. No time for intricate lighting setups or cumbersome cameras. Instead, we armed ourselves with specialty gear, including cameras with built-in gimbals and wireless transmission capabilities, allowing us to shoot cinematic-quality footage at a moment's notice.

The end result? A whirlwind journey across the Golden State, capturing the spirit of car culture and its aficionados, all while keeping the project under $30,000 for three days of shooting and travel, thanks to smart gear planning and efficient production days.
