Default 944R Promotional Video

I'm going to be putting my 944R up for sale on Bring A Trailer in a few weeks. A friend of mine, Mike, who is much more talented at this stuff than I am, helped me put together a promotional video. I think it turned out really well but then I'm biased He used his drone to get some of the footage, which I guess is the hot setup these days. Making the video was a lot of fun and I learned a lot. I hope you enjoy it!

I'm trying to not get my hopes up regarding the sale price. It is a hard one to value. I do plan to go No Reserve, as I truly am ready to move on to other projects. I feel that BAT will give me my best shot at realizing a fair price. We will certainly see

Nice Video! Good Luck with the sale, I will be following along to see how it goes.

You may want to post your BAT listing on the 944 SPEC website to drive traffic

I enjoyed the thread that documented the build. Nice car, nice video. Hope it generates the desired interest and a fair return.

Good video Harvey but I'm surprised Mike didn't tell you it's traditional for the person presenting the car to be dressed in a bikini.

Hah! I asked him if he wanted to be considered for followup business and he said only if attractive girls were going to be involved in the shoot!

He's actually very heavy into the virtual reality stuff and wanted badly to do something with 360 degree point of view capability but I thought that was overkill. He also said that at almost 5 minutes in length that I "talked too much" and thus exceeded the attention span of the average viewer. Sad but I suspect true.

Well, that's the whole purpose of the bikini of course, but I don't think it would have worked for you; he's right, you'd probably need a girl to go with it and that starts to get expensive...

Mike and I discussed a Heavy Metal soundtrack at one point, as being commensurate with those lads that came of age in the 80's but fortunately he didn't go there

he explains the roll bar at 3.30 watch the video.
Good luck with the sale! nice video but poor choice of music. you should've chosen some music which is exciting, and appeals to a younger generation. You could probably sell it at Hershey as well.
