My beetle in a film.
Hey everyone,
I have not posted here in YEARS. I hope we can bring this group back to the popularity it once had. I'm the guy with the PlowBug, a rusted 74 Super Beetle that I use on my acreage to plow snow in the winter. Some of you will remember this. I think its been 14 years since I started plowing snow with it. Well, in the last year or so, I have developed an interest in film. Last year I helped produce a film called Dead End Drive which is a music video about the dangers of drinking and driving. You can find it on YouTube. I was the Stunt Co-ordinator, Stunt Double for the main character, and even acted in the film. (I'm the liquor store guy who calls the cops) We used my 68 Mercury Cyclone as a major character in that film. We ended up being nominated for Music Video of the Year for the Alberta AMPIA awards. Had numerous TV interviews, it was a great experience. Since then, I have wanted to do another film, but it will be a while until our team can get together again for the next one. So, I wrote my own script and directed a film this past June and July. My PlowBug was a major character in the film, but it was not used for plowing. ;-) Have a look at it with the link below, the second link is the blooper reel. Since I had a budge of ZERO, I used my kids as actors, and they did REALLY well. It was a lot of work, but I've been getting rave reviews on it, especially being my first film. Enjoy! Ryan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U0FwgWT-_c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sU__rgZHn_w |

I liked it. Your kids will be able to look at with fond memories years
from now. I suggest you post it to Samba.com which is the most popular air-cooled VW website. I'm sure everyone there who sees it will like it. It's easy to register there with your own user name. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/faq.php?mode=forums How to add a link to a video: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/vie...ighlight=video Here's a list of all of the forums there. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/ |

Most ISPs don't carry Newsgroups anymore, and the VW enthusiasts have migrated to web forums like The Samba. http://groups.google.com/group/rec.a...cd228cb9764c36 -- Randall |

Good idea on posting on samba, I do have an account there, although I haven't used it in quite a while. I just pretty much copied my message from above into the samba. I remember the good old days when Bob Hoover used to respond to questions. May he rest in peace. Ryan. |
