dunefreak Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Very cool, Rich! Thanks for the pics and report. I wonder if they had a filming permit? I bet there are alot of companies that just go out and do it regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjunky3 Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 it was nice and quiet all morning with us 2 being the only ones there so it was really good for him to get used to riding a quad. the sand was so nice and smooth except on the ridges where all the rain had made potholes. some places the sand was harder than other places. 1 other pickup and trailer showed up by noon. those rigs and crew didnt show up until later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one time Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 cool pics. i was out at Dumont last year at the begining of the season and just about the same thing happened to me. bunch of rigs pulled in, cam setups and the works. silly me joked around to the crew i was with and said i am gonna take the rail and drive circles around the shoot. needless to say i didnt. come to find out later, it was one of my favorite big bootied babes, Jennifer Lopez was filming something out there. pissed me off that i didnt crash that party. thanks again for the report. We were out there that weekend too.I redirected about a hundred people who pulled into the little dunes trying to find the shoot. The tow truck that was carrying the car they were gonna use in the video got stuck in the dunes trying to find the location. While we were pulling him out he told us about the video shoot. It was a J Lo music video. I drove the family over there in our Sami, I was surprised how close they were letting us get. Of coarse we didnt have to get very close before we could tell it was J Lo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Here is the reply I got from BLM on the commercial; Mercedes was issued a filming permit for the OPEN Area, which does NOT include the access road. Thanks for letting us know, we will deal with it. Lynnette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 i didnt start this to cause any problems i started this just to share my day and something cool at dumont, maybe next time i should just keep it to myself Rich, I just want you to know why BLM was advised, first if any filming by a fimmaker,commercial co. etc. is going to be conducted at Dumont they have a fee to pay just like we do but larger, way larger. They have restrictions just like we do on things thy can and can't do.Secondly, the road is not in the best of shape and the layer of asphalt that was put down is very thin in some places so a car throwing itself sideways and throwing debris all over is not helping on top of this wasn't something they were supposed to be doing. We(you & me) paid for that asphalt covering not them. I want BLM to supervise these companies during there permit times to make sure that they are leaving the dunes better than when they arrived just as we all should. So to put it bluntly you did the right thing and it is appreciated. We need to keep our eyes open to what is going on when we are not there. Thank you for your post!
