Rickmoore24 - It was a union production. We worked around the clock and production staff was there to get all of it. There was a day crew and a night crew. Only breaks that we took were for food due to union rules( breakfast lunch and dinner and a 4th meal in the middle of the night) Everything was catered. There was no direction other than "intro" shots and walk in scenes before the clock started. Each team had their own producer and camera crew. Camera crews were not allowed to interact with us or interfere in anyway and they did a damn good job of staying out of our way. So much so, that you eventually forget that they are there to an extent. The producers only did interviewing and prompted us to talk more as when you are building a bike, you typically are not thinking about telling people everything you are doing. If we weren't getting our thoughts out correctly, they would help us rephrase what we were trying to say so that it would come across better on camera. We were mic'd around the clock and were not allowed to take the mic off. There were girls in a back room that listened to EVERYTHING that we said and took notes on things that were said off camera and if anything was said that they wanted on camera, they would ask us questions about it in an interview. There was an EP on set during the say his name was Adam Vetri. He was in everyones ear (camera crew, audio techs, producers all had radios and ear peices). I am sure he was pushing people around to get certain shots.
754 - The gold leaf turned out great! I knew that we would not have time to produce a high quality paint job. So I chose my painter based off of his skill set of hand painted signs and pinstripping. It was all filmed in LA and the bikes we were given were completely stock without gas tanks, or seats.
