Hey Guys,

I just got a phone call from James at Lasonic and he was contacted by a TV producer asking if he could buy / borrow a classic 931 they NEED for a shoot. I just received an email with all the details. Please read. If you can help, let me know and I will put you in contact with James! email me at cv@cessationoflife.com if you can help out!

FROM JAMES:


Hi, Chris 

Nice to talking to you today. 

Chris, below the mail is one of the Producer in London, he may want your help,, 

I also copy this mail to him, so he can also contact you if he need it, hope you OK for this right? Thanks!!

Best Regards

Dear James 


Further to our conversation re; The TRC-931 Lasonic Boombox for a major Video shoot in the UK. For a very high profile music video for Simon Cowells/Sony Records artist Cher Lloyd (XFactor - UK).

We bought one on Ebay a couple of weeks ago and the couriers seem to have lost it. Which is a major problem..


This is very CGI heavy shoot and we have 4 weeks of special effects CGI to do at Mainframe (one of Londons premier CGI companies). And ours is probably one of the most prolific film crews in London today. This video will be huge.... The Artist starts by carrying the Lasonic TRC-931 down the street, she places it on the pavement and the TRC-931 opens up like a transformer revealing a whole new world in which up to 38 dancers perform in a magical world at the end of the video this world collapses into the TRC-931 again. As you can imagine this is quite a large budget Video and will feature on a very heavy rotation on MTV, and other Channels, and as I'm sure your aware XFactor is going to be one of your highest rating US shows!!! 



I desperately need to ensure we have a TRC-931 in London this Saturday 14th May to finish the CGI mapping before the shoot on 17th May in London.

If you can loan me yours I can supply you footage that would cost close to $500,000.00 to reproduce. Which I'm sure you'll be able to use. We would cover FEDEX Garanteed delivery costs and return the same way, fully insured.



I have attached the video treatment for the shoot... and our website is http://www.thefoundcollective.com where you can see some of our previous work. The Cameraman we are using http://www.willbex.com mainframe the CGI co. http://www.mainframe.co.uk



I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible as we are locked in to our shoot days. And I will need an answer from you asap. Ours may still turn up, but we can't afford to leave anything to chance.



Please call with any questions.



Regards



Sean Stuart (Producer)

 

PART TWO

 

Hi Chris (and James thanks for intro)

Chris I'm in a bit of a pickle as you'll see from my email below to James... I'm shooting a music video featuring the TRC-931 and we bought one on Ebay to ship to the UK in time for our shoot and USPS Guaranteed 3 day delivery has well.... they dont know where it is...

So I desperatelty need to get hold of one. to borrow or buy and have in London by Saturday 14th May... maybe you know of one in the UK we could borrow.... If you or any of your members have one we can use for a few days, we will FEDEX special overnight etc. and fully insure against any damage. I can't stress enough how important this is as we have based a lot of CGI work around this model.

If you can help in anyway it would be greatly appreciated.

I very much look forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards


Sean Stuart (Producer)

THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN HANDLED!
Hey Chris
 
Can you Please put a very big thank you out to all who responded to my distress call.... Which believe me it was!
 
My CGI guys totally freaked out ....when i had the courage to tell them that a weeks work was apparently down the tubes.... The Models I was kindly offered through your members, weren't the right models, and I was very close to panic buying everything!  but it would mean a week re-rendering... ouch!
 
Sooo. There is a God apparently and ours turned up today by FedEx and saved the day!
 
I can't tell you how grateful I was for your immediate postings in coming to our rescue. And I will make it my mission to make someone Else's life happier over the next few days.
 
I will endevour to forward you the finished video.
 
Many Thanks Again
 
Seany Stuart
