Hi,
Today’s update will post a little later than normal. I am getting ready to start a shoot with a new model today and I will be using the police car again. I’m still working on getting a plastic back seat, window bars, and new prisoner uniforms. I do have the light bar on top of the car now, but it is not wired up yet. I also have been testing this morning a go pro cam (which is why the update isn’t done yet) for inside the police car. I don’t always have someone to hold a camera and the normal camcorder does not have the widest angle so I think the go pro may give a good angle in the back seat to film the prisoners. I have it mounted and ready to go so I’ll see how it works as soon as I get started. I may put up a clip from today with the new model and police car as today’s update if it’s not too late when I am done. I have a few more improvements that I am working on in the studio that I’ll write about soon.
Have to go shoot now.
Thanks,
Tony
Hi,
i like your work now since years…but missing the old jail installation. What happened to the prisoner van?
I also missing the use of plastic restraints – especially the double-loops.
New prisoner uniforms?? I’m so excited!! What kind of uniform are they? It’d be great if we can have one of those official ones, like the ones that say PRISONER at the back.
@Oli, I still am trying to schedule another shoot at the old jail, but getting something scheduled there has been tough. Also as I mentioned before the building is basically just a shell with no utilities so it is not an ideal place to film videos. I am working on a two cell set for the studio. I’m going to improve the current cell that I use with a better door in the next few weeks and then build a better set with real metal bar doors once I get the space cleaned out for it. The prisoner van will happen, but I’m not sure when yet. The police car sorta fell into my lap so I couldn’t pass it up. I still have the prisoner van cages, but still need to get a van for it. When the right van comes up at the right price, I will probably buy it….or if anyone has a 1999 or newer chevy/ford extended 1-ton van that they want to donate or sell cheap that would be great as well. I’m placing an order for more cuffs soon and I will order some more plastic ones, it has been along time since I have used them.
@Uniform, yes the new uniforms will say prisoner on the backs and on the legs. I’m getting two piece orange suits, some two piece striped uniforms with green/white and orange/white. Also black/white stripes jumpsuits. I placed an order awhile ago, but ended up having to get my money refunded as the order was never fulfilled so I’m working on ordering from another company.
