I want to have the x5000 in a commercial.

[cpaek72]

Hey guys, I'm a commercial director in the Los Angeles area and I'm looking for Trevor's contact info. I've been a silent fan of Amiga for a very long time and even deliberated buying the x1000 a year ago and finally took the plunge and bought an x5000 a few days ago after watching the latest documentary and just following Trevor's adventures. Didn't fully understand how vibrant the community was and would like to help make it more relevant in any way I can.

I am filming two spots on the 11th of July for Spike TV and one of them is specific to a break-in into a high security facility that needs a computer where one of our main characters is hacking into. I think having the X5000 in that shot would be amazing and it could be a really nice piece to highlight Amiga after all these years.

My site is http://www.charlespaek.com

If any of you know Trevor's email please let me know or let him know that I'm interested in placing the x5000 as a product placement piece in the commercial with A-eon's and Hyperion's permission of course.

You could send a support message at the Ad on web site or trybthe user Amigakit here. The later would pass it on as he is a partner.

Thanks, just sent an email to them. Let's see if they respond.

@ cpaek72

great idea & I know I'm biased;) but I would personally make sure I got a 'Boing Ball' cover case for the commercial as it stands out proudly from a standard 'pc' case ...if you can find a modded Boing Ball case like mine see here http://mancave-ramblings.blogspot.ca/2016/ even better :hammer:  

guaranteed non amigans and especially Amiga enthusiasts will notice the "Boing Ball' case

[cpaek72]

That's very true. The case that is offered by Amigakit is black on black logo. I'm sure I can have our art department figure out a way to highlight that. Not receiving my x5000 for at least 10 days, but I'm hoping they can send an extra one just for the commercial sooner.

awesome & I'm sure you agree on the Boing Ball case:)

@ Charles

please don't forget to update us here :hammer:

[cpaek72]

Yes, if the timing all works out, I'll post the spot here in a few weeks

[yssing]

That is awesome!

[hishamk]

Awesome indeed

Would be great if the spot actually shows a working OS4 environment and perhaps a legible 'Amiga' text on there I'm sure someone on here would be able to help you should you need to mock-up some UI action.

Very cool!  Looking forward to seeing it!

@cpaek72

What would something like that cost?

[cpaek72]

Oh, the commercial? It's in the hundreds of thousands range. Not cheap to film a commercial.

I'm looking forward to seeing your completed project.
Trevor, are you going to make a cameo?
