Increasingly, that one special car is sought for the making of a commercial, or producers are looking for classic vehicles associated with a period in history being made into a film. Sometimes this search presents significant problems because the right cars cannot be found. For instance, a well-known American manufacturer had to use cars that car enthusiasts know were not yet on the market during the period in which the film being shot was set. Classic Movie Cars has dozens of its own vehicles AND an extensive network both domestically and internationally. If we do not have the car you desire, we will search for the right car for you and deliver it! Our fleet can be described as spectacular. Not only because we have a wide range, but certainly also because the vehicles we possess are often unique. For example, we have a Tatra that officially served as the Czech State Limousine. We also have various Italian-made cars, some of which are one of a kind in the world. All vehicles are in perfect condition! We would be happy to discuss the possibilities and conditions with you personally, precisely because we aim to provide tailor-made solutions! For example, we can supply vehicles with or without a driver. We can also ensure that the vehicle remains in optimal condition on set. Picking up and returning the vehicles is, of course, also an option, even at a foreign location. If you are looking for a specific car, please contact us without obligation to discuss the possibilities. We are happy to be of service!

On Thursday, April 7, 2011, the workshop: Working with a Flip starts! In America, the Flip Mino mini video camera has been a huge hit for ages, but you see it increasingly often in the Netherlands as well. 'The Flip' is a veritable craze. The little device is so popular because more and more people want to upload homemade videos to YouTube or other video sites, but don't want to lug a large, expensive video camera around in a bag. Not only the size but also the user-friendliness catches the eye: filming is simple; the small screen turns on within a second, after which you start filming by simply pressing a button. The gadget features a retractable USB port that allows you to connect the Flip directly to your computer, without wires or drivers. The built-in software ensures that videos can be uploaded directly to video sites like YouTube or Vimeo without any further complications. Studio Bromet has now developed a workshop where you learn to film and edit with the Flip. Handy for anyone who wants to create videos in a simple yet professional way, for example for your (company) website. Also useful for print journalists who want to make more use of video! Duration: 1 day Time: 10 AM - 5 PM Date 2011: Thu. 7 April Cost including flip chart: €445 (excl. VAT) Maximum number of participants: 8 Register: Email [email protected]

The Level 2 course offering is for people who already have experience making reports and who wish to develop their skills further. In this course, the focus is primarily on the content side of program production and less on the technical side. During the execution of the assignment, various aspects of program production are covered. The course begins with a Research lesson, after which you get to work finding a case for the item you are going to film. Following this, you will have a lesson on Interview Techniques, in which Frans Bromet teaches you the fundamentals of interviewing. After filming, a lesson on Content Editing follows, where you learn how to structure a story: the introduction of the subject, the narrative arc, and the conclusion. Throughout the course, your progress is continuously evaluated on an individual level. In this evaluation, you discuss the choices you made at various points during the production process. What went well? Where can improvements be made? Finally, there is a public viewing session where you view and discuss your item with your fellow course participants. After completing this course, you will be able to create a video portrait entirely independently. Duration: 4 days Date: March 12 to April 2 Time: 10 AM - 5 PM Cost: €995 (excl.
