>Hi:
>
>My company produces commercials for clients around the world. I received an
>e-mail from a client of mine in Japan asking if it would be possible to
>shoot a commercial at the Salt Flats as follows:
>
>>1.    Shots of the Bonneville speed car running
>>2.    P.O.V. shot of the car
>>3.    The parachute (to reduce the speed) comes out from the rear of the car
>>4.    When the parachute opens completely, you see the name of product
>>       painted on the parachute.  Once the parachute is up in full, the car
>>       slowly comes to a stop.
>>(Narration says:  once you start, the only way you could stop is
...........)

>He also asked:
>
>>I would like to see if those speed car (what is it called?) can be rented
for
>>a commercial.  I understand they run this thing during a certain season only
>>due to the dry lake condition.
>>As for the car running shot, we may need a chopper in addition to a camera
>>car (depending on what the director wants).

>Any information you can provide about the requirements and fees for shoot
