Top Gear Parody - Results released

 

Applications not accepeted anymore... :) After 2/3 weeks of accepting results, we have finally decided who will be taking part in the Top Gear Parody!:

 

Places taken:

Ford GT (navy blue - white racing stripes):__DDDenniZZZ

Pagani Zonda (orange): __________________Speed_Freak

Ferrari F430 (silver convertable): __________Iced_Bullet

The Bike (black)*: ______________________Mattnade

An extra camera man**:_________________MartijnMb.

 

* will only be used for a 20 second clip with all three car drivers...

** will be need to park up and record as the 3 cars drive on ahead...

 

 

Myself and Speed_Freak would like to say that it was very hard to decide between the applicants, as people had very similar specs and situations, however we felt that the people chosen above seemed very sound people and tht we would be able to get the maximum potential from choosing these people. I hope you will agree, and wish us luck as we set upon the long task of re-creating it (God I sound philosophical :P)

 

 

 

Orginal thread:

 

Firstly I'll say that I'm new to TDU, and for one reason after another (regarding my Graphics card, I havn't been able to play TDU for 2 months now), and I ordered a X1950GT 256mb card last night, and I should be playing TDU soon.

 

Myself and Speed_Freak are wanting to recreate a Top Gear shootout.

 

The reason for this thread is that I am asking if there is anyone else who would like to take part... We are looking for someone who has either the Ford GT, Ferrari 430 convertible, a Zonda or ANY bike.

 

The episode we are wanting to re-create is the one where the Top Gear team go to the south of France in their supercars and get stuck in the hotel car park in Paris.

 

The link to the edited Top Gear video (Part 1)

The link to the edited Top Gear video (Part 2)

 

We wont be requiring (who-ever we chose)'s help through-out, only for the clips where there are 3 cars visible + the clip where they're in paris and a bike comes into the screen.

 

Only apply if you are willing to be a "team-player" and not try and add your own bit... but keep to the video I have edited etc

 

I am not expecting loads of replies, but any would be welcome... and me or Speed_Freak will get back to you...

Thought it was time for me to respond to this, mainly because I just noticed this thread :)

 

I'm not really willing to respray my Ford GT because it's green with pink stripes and looks great, I don't have a Ferrari F430 Spyder and I don't want the minor part of "Biker" so if I get the choice I'd like to be Richard Hammond in the Orange Zonda. My character even looks a bit like him too :)

 

If anyone else would like to take part, copy the form below and fill it in. Thanks.

OK thank you, the Zonda poisiton is taken up by Speed_Freak, this leaves the Ferrari and the GT... However I have a slight preferance to the F430

 

This means you would have to re-spray the GT to navy blue and white stripes (if possible)... unless you are wishing to be the biker or the extra camera man? Plus you would have to download fraps

If you guys manage to pull this off, it should be great fun to watch. I love Top Gear :D

 

Are you going to use the bridge to Ford Island as the big long bridge?

 

We will be indeed :) its perfect.... not the 100m bridge near it with the 10 or so lanes :P too short

 

the only bit we're concerned about is the car park bit :S it's going to takes some clever idea to pull that part off XD

ok, well we wont be starting until around sunday... maybe later if my graphics card is delayed :|

 

and until then this thread will be still be open - as the only dissadvantage is that you live in USA etc and Speed_Freak and I live in England... so it would be difficualt (or not very suitable) for us to do loads of filming with you... as the hours would probably not be very confortable...

 

However me and Speed_Freak can do most of the filming with ourselves, and then for the clips with 3 cars... get you in...

 

but until we start filming, I cannot say definately wether or not you have the place :P Sorry

If I can do the TDU Central Cruise almost everyday, then I might be able to do the movie.

 

OK, yes be patient, we've got you on the list for the GT position :P along with 5 others
