Filming the Introduction

Saturday, February 3rd, 2007

We went out to the canyons of Los Angeles to film an introduction and disclaimer for Slide America. Lance Feliciano and Lisa Kim Fleming showed up like 16 hours late or something outrageous like that. It was all good though, we dipped out somewhere out in the Malibu area if I remember right that Jenny Chu knew so we could shoot the opening at sunset.

These are some pictures before filming started when team morale was still high……

Thanks to iheartjennychu.com for the photos!

Once we got the Dori 2 Garage 240sx setup and calmed everything down things went well. We almost ended up filming into the night due to some “line mishaps,” that kept taking place but we won’t say any names….It was a great time, Richard Tran (former Formula D employee) came out along with Good Times Media who did some filming and tagged along with some other shots.

This is Jenny Chu and myself in an argument about the filming. I won.

Here is a picture of the crew after the filming. We ended up going to Korean BBQ and watched Lisa Fleming out eat us all, I cannot make this stuff up.

Thanks to Good Times for this photo.
