Paul Pulver is an art director assembling a team to do a photoshoot near Quincy, Washington, at Frenchman’s Coulee (not far from me). Most of his team his flying in from Pennsylvania. As he explains below, he’d like to rent a 1970s jeep from someone in the region for the photo shoot. He’s offering $1000 for the day plus a night in a motel for the jeep owner. The photoshoot is August 19th. If you are interested, contact Paul at paul.pulver@verizon.net, or give me a call at 610-517-5496. He’ll probably request a photo that shows the rear of the vehicle with its top removed.

His client wants a shot from behind towards the front of the vehicle with the models inside. An illusion of movement will be created, though the vehicle won’t be moving. Here are a couple of stock photos (though the second doesn’t show movement) that provide a flavor of what he’s been asked to produce. The photos below show a 1960s Ford Bronco:

I mentioned that some people have had good experiences and some bad with photo shoot/movies. He explained, I’ve had too many experiences with directors and photographers asking models/talent to do stupid things. I don’t work with people like that. That won’t happen here — I promise you.

I also asked about why type of 1970s CJs or Full-Size Jeeps’ he was considering (and provided links as he’s not a jeep expert). Other than being a convertible, it could be anything from a Jeepster Command to  a CJ-5, CJ-6, CJ-7 or CJ-3B. I think a stock Bronco (as pictured above) or another vintage 4×4 from the sixties might also interest Paul.

Here’ s the email Paul sent with the details.

To introduce myself, my name is Paul Pulver. I work as an Art Director for Film and Television, and I’m currently working on a still photo shoot for The Vanguard Group (they’re a financial group that is marketing to employees at Google) that we’re going to be doing at Frenchman’s Coulee in Washington State.

I’m looking to rent a good looking vintage Jeep for the shoot, and I came across your website (which is great, by the way…I’ve learned a lot!) and I thought I’d reach out to you and your readers.

As of the moment, I have this information:

The client would like the Jeep to be of 1970’s vintage, with a removable top and doors, and in fairly good condition with a decent interior.
The vehicle color is not set in stone.

I’ve attached some pictures from the Creative Director at Vanguard. They’re stock photography, and I don’t even think the vehicle shown is a Jeep, but they give you the idea of what I’m looking for. The concept behind the photographs is a road trip, with two to four 25 to 35 year old on the trip….in a very cool Jeep in a beautiful place.

The area we’re filming at is pretty spectacular, but it’s a haul from Seattle – about a 3 to 4 hour drive. We would need the car to be on site at Frenchman’s Coulee at 11:00 AM and we’d need the car to be on site until dusk. The date we’re looking to do this is August 19, 2015

I have $1000.00 to pay for the car rental, and we’ll pay for the driver to stay in a hotel after the day is over. We’d also pay for gas and food, and the car would be insured while it’s on set.

The funny thing is the models will never drive the Jeep – we’d ask the driver/owner to move the car as needed.

I’d need some pictures of the Jeep from the owners emailed to me, so we know what we’re getting.

Please let me know if I can answer any questions, or if you think I’m out of my mind.

If I can answer any other questions, please feel free to email me at paul.pulver@verizon.net, or give me a call at 610-517-5496.

I’m going to send you an email directly also – I was only able to attach one picture to this, and i think that was only of the interior of the car.

Thanks a lot, and I hope to talk to you soon,

Paul Pulver
