DIRECT A DIGITISER SCENE!
Added 2021-06-27 19:44:01 +0000 UTCHello, y'all. I need some help!
In short: we lost a tiny, but REALLY important bit of footage from last week's filming. It's a shot looking out a car windscreen at night, as it travels down a small country road... and then STOPS, as if it loses power, headlights go off... and then it just sits there for a few moments.
Now... I don't own a car these days, and short of renting another one, or borrowing my dad's overnight, there's no real way for me to reshoot the footage.
Would any of you be able to help by grabbing something similar for you?
It's not vital that the car has to be exactly the same as our rental one (which was a black Tesla, if you must know), but preferably close enough so that the bonnet/hood is dark enough that it could pass as it in some handheld in-car footage looking out the front window.
It doesn't have to be super-high quality; on a phone will more than suffice (and obviously don't drive and film; get a passenger to do it, or something). And if any of you can help, and we use your clip, we'll give you a credit in the ep.
Let me know... and thank you!
Paul
EDIT: Of course it wasn't a sodding Tesla. It was a Lexus.

Probably too late to be useful, and it's not what you asked for. But I have some grainy old footage of an "alien" frollicking in a Swedish forest.

2021-06-29 10:11:58 +0000 UTCI dont have a car but I do have a lovely bonnet and regularly stand motionless in the middle of dark country lanes, if thats any help?
2021-06-28 23:09:31 +0000 UTCThink you should have some footage now hopefully it is of use 👍
Kyle Rowe
2021-06-27 22:34:31 +0000 UTCPlease feel free to make videos anyone else who can it’s still not dark in Scotland! I’d rather Paul got plenty to choose from then had to wait for a video from me that wasn’t what he needed
Kyle Rowe
2021-06-27 22:09:35 +0000 UTCLots of these lovely people already offering to help, but do consider me 15th backup please Paul! I live right in the middle of nowhere (check out my village of Enville!) so spooky/pitch black is our thing here!

2021-06-27 21:45:42 +0000 UTCDitto to Dan but I've got a dark red Fiesta, a dashcam and access to Buckinghamshire country roads if everything else fails.

2021-06-27 21:08:40 +0000 UTCSeems like you're covered here, but we have a dark gray car and live on a farm down a country track (no lights), so if the above doesn't pan out gimmie a shout.
Dan O'Connor
2021-06-27 20:32:36 +0000 UTCI'm in the countryside, but also have a silver car so not ideal. Out of interest, can you share any clips or stills of any existing country road footage (e.g. tree-lined or not) or bonnet footage, to try and match?
John Veness
2021-06-27 20:31:47 +0000 UTCSent through a short vid man it’s still to light but gives you a couple choices of location
Kyle Rowe
2021-06-27 20:23:21 +0000 UTCI won’t be hurt if my scene doesn’t get chosen just happy to help

2021-06-27 20:04:14 +0000 UTCCheers, Kathy. Will let you know. Keep drinking!

2021-06-27 20:03:16 +0000 UTCWe have two black cars and live in the arse-end of nowhere, but we’ve also just had alcoholic beverages, so better not. If you still need it tomorrow PM then we can do it, but it looks like you’ll be sorted by then.

2021-06-27 20:02:02 +0000 UTCAbsolutely.

2021-06-27 19:59:05 +0000 UTCBrilliant, isn't it?
Paul Rose (Mr Biffo)
2021-06-27 19:58:35 +0000 UTCYou star! One other person is having a crack too, so we might mix-and-match. Either way, you'll both get a shout-out.
Paul Rose (Mr Biffo)
2021-06-27 19:58:14 +0000 UTCDon't drive myself, but love that within minutes there's people in the Digi crew offering to help.
PJ Close
2021-06-27 19:54:49 +0000 UTCYeah no streetlights is fine I just live in the north of Scotland so still waiting for the sun to go down…
Kyle Rowe
2021-06-27 19:54:48 +0000 UTCExcellent. Cheers, Kyle (preferably somewhere with no street lights).
Paul Rose (Mr Biffo)
2021-06-27 19:53:27 +0000 UTCNever have I more regretted that my Tesla is white.
David Glover-Aoki
2021-06-27 19:52:10 +0000 UTCCould maybe manage it so you can’t see the bonnet anyway
Kyle Rowe
2021-06-27 19:49:03 +0000 UTCCheers, Mark. Kyle up above might have us sorted, but I'll let you know if not.
Paul Rose (Mr Biffo)
2021-06-27 19:48:58 +0000 UTCCould be perfect, Kyle, providing it's dark enough not to notice the colour. Thank you!
Paul Rose (Mr Biffo)
2021-06-27 19:48:33 +0000 UTCWould love to help, but my car is banana yellow

2021-06-27 19:47:51 +0000 UTCI doubt my old-style Mini would fit the bill... 😂
Thomas Thacker
2021-06-27 19:47:33 +0000 UTCI'm sure someone is on it. Otherwise give me a till Tuesday and I'll see what I can do.
Mark Honeyborne
2021-06-27 19:46:46 +0000 UTCI’ll give it a go. I live in the grounds of a castle so the country road is no problem, the car is silver though…
