Nikki's Camaro featured in a music video. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So, my brother (who works in film and directs music videos) called me up a few days ago and asked me to ask Nikki if she wanted to have her car featured in a music video for a song featuring some local bay area hip-hop/r&b artists, to which she said yes. The video was initially supposed to be in San Jose, which isn't too far from San Francisco, but there was a change of plans and the video had to be shot in Plymouth, CA .. which is 150+ miles away.

So we had a bit of an adventure getting out there, we left at 10, got there after midnight, and when we arrived we knew who the real star was!

EVERYONE was drooling over the Camaro!

People were taking pictures, asking about the car, telling us how much they loved it! It was great!

So we pulled the car in along with an Escalade and they filmed the shots they needed. Due to the way the camera was rigged, the focus was on the artists, and since the Escalade was so much bigger than the Camaro, I don't think the Camaro will get as much camera time as we all know it deserved. But it still was pretty fun. The video shoot was at a carnival, it lasted all night, rides going and everything!

So I took a few snapshots of the scene the Camaro was in as well as the ongoings of the shoot. It probably won't be edited for a few weeks or so, but I'll let everyone here know when it is ready.

I'm not a huge fan of Hip-Hop and R&B, but growing up in the San Francisco bay area it has a big presence. It was a pretty fun experience.

Anyways, the song is "Ask yo baby mama" by J. Dandridge feat. Kafani and Matt Blaque.

Here are the pix that I took:

LoL! That is Nikki .. And she wasn't crying, she was watching the screen with the video feed from the camera .. The pictures came out a bit blurry because I wasn't using a flash (didn't want anyone to get mad at me), which is why her eyes look kinda hazy. Also it was pretty late at that point.

Or maybe she WAS crying because she had to leave her Camaro's lights on for so long !

I think it was about 3 or 4am and we had just driven 150 or so miles right after work.... I was so exhausted!

ZNOLMT · 08-16-2009, 12:44 PM

Added a really cool pic that we got back from the photographer at the event!

68RS · 08-16-2009, 04:37 PM

Very cool. Can you tell us what music video it is for?

68RS · 08-16-2009, 04:39 PM

Nevermind, I missed the last part with the name of the song.

That is awesome and something you can share with your grandkids one day.

That is really cool. I did have local water colorist take a bunch of pictures of my car and a green 69 Camaro to use for a picture he is doing for a festival in October in Madison, Ms. It is an annual festival and car show (The Scarecrow Festival). It is going to be a limited number of prints made for the show. Hope I get one. It is nice to see all the attention the car is getting.

Sweet! Seems like a ton of rappers are using the Camaro in their videos!
