Tomcar Shoot - Take One

At G&H, we decided to create a video showing our

capabilities go beyond that of a typical manufacturer. Within the past year, we have taken the concept of the Tomcar from prototype to reality, and we wanted to show the process.

Having never been a part of shooting a video before, I can honestly say I did not know what to expect. However, I don’t think I’ve been that tired at the end of the day in a long time. We hired Kevin Peeples owner of Techinc Productions in North Carolina. Kevin was wonderful to work with, and his creativity was evident in his dedication to get some shots down until he knew they were right.

We covered all aspects of the process from beginning to end – 3D CAD of the Tomcar frame to the final product and everything in between. We even got to ride on the back of an 18-wheeler while it delivered the pipe.

The people at the Indy plant were great and very accommodating. I’m pretty sure they thought we were crazy when we asked them to pick up and put down the finished frame from the shipping truck at least 5 times, then Kevin asked if he could ride in the frame as it was being placed on the truck. However crazy they thought we were, they went along with us on everything. A special thanks to Billy who drove Kevin around on the dolly, to Scott for keeping us on track and to Steve for letting us crash the plant for 2 days.

We will be posting different pictures from the shoot, and will keep you all updated on our progress of the final video. We cannot wait to launch the video to show how diversified we really are!
