Photos starting on page 3

I'm planning the photoshoot for today (Monday) 8/08. The room will be open 30 mins before with the # posted here. I'll send PMs to everyone to see who can make it.

I had this idea today so I'm going to share it to see if the interest is here for a Corvette photoshoot of all the generations. If this one is a success I would like to repeat the same for other manufacturers (VW, BMW, Ferrari, etc.)

Basically I have picked 12 Corvettes that I think cover all chassis and their racing counterparts in the game. The idea is to take all 12 Corvettes to 2-3 tracks and pose for various pictures (both rolling & stopped). Obviously we won't be able to fit all the cars into one frame but for a few pictures. However it would be fairly easy to have a bunch of variations with 4-6 Corvettes in frame from different years. I am open to ideas on how to matchup the cars for different pictures (old vs. new, RM vs. stock, etc.). The more the better.

I only suggest a few rules:

1) All cars must be bone stock (from the exterior). This means no aftermarket wheels, aero, suspension, or anything else that would otherwise make the car look like it has been modified from the showroom.

2) Paint chips should be stock, as in only the colors that the car comes with in the game. If anyone signs up and needs a stock paint chip for a Corvette I can send you one.

3) Mics are suggested to make the coordination of the shots easier, but not required.

My suggested tracks:
1) La Sarthe
2) Daytona Super Speedway
3) Grand Valley Speedway
(Open to change/suggestion, but I say no more than 3 tracks)

Corvettes:
1) 1954 Corvette (C1) [stibrian]
2) 1963 Corvette (C2) [dylansan]
3) 1963 Corvette Z06 Race Car (C2) [ZDUPH]
4) 1969 Corvette (C3-Stingray) [Caz]
5) 1996 Corvette GRAND SPORT (C4) [tyrellg]
6) 1990 Corvette ZR-1 (C4)
7) 2004 Corvette Z06 (C5) [ZOHSIXGT5]
8) 2000 Corvette C5-R (C5) [Cowboys965]
9) 2006 Corvette Z06 (C6) [Tazj_7]
10) 2006 Corvette Z06 RM (C6) [maxpontiac]
11) 2009 Corvette ZR1 (C6) [DaleJrFan]
12) 2009 Corvette ZR1 RM (C6) [MedigoFlame]

If anyone thinks I should add some of the models left out please say so. Also if you would like to participate but do not own any of the above I can lend one to you.

If you are interested please list your PSN name and the car you will be driving and I will update the OP. I am hoping to do this later this week, but it depends on the interest and if the list fills up. I am in the US on Eastern Time, and this will mostly likely be 6pm or after.

1) 2004 C5 Z06 - ZohsixGT5
2) 2009 C6 ZR1 RM - MedigoFlameX
3) 1963 C2 Z06 Race Car - ZDUPH
4) 1969 C3 Stingray - caswellhouse
5) 2009 C6 ZR1 - ISADEVILS43
6) 2006 C6 Z06 - Tazj_7
7) 1996 C4 Grand Sport - tyrell8108
8) 1954 C1 - stibrian
9) 2000 C5 Race Car - Cowboys965
10) 2006 C6 Z06 RM - maxpontiac
11) 1963 C2 - GTP_dylansan
12) 1990 C4 ZR1 - ???

Thanks,

Below is my quick attempt to show the entrants what I have in mind regarding car locations for the pictures. If we feel the need to go to a 3rd track after La Sarthe and Daytona, I'll take a vote on a track and then well take some "on the fly" pics there.
I estimate if we have everyones cooperation, we can do this in about an hour. After we have setup the pics below, we'll give about 5 mins for ppl to setup their own pictures with other corvettes as they please before we finish the race. If we can pull this off we all should have some pretty awesome pics of all the corvettes.

I have a legend listed below for the chassis abbreviations in the illustrations.

You can click on any of these to see a larger size.

C4 GS = 1996 Corvette Grand Sport
C4 ZR1 = 1990 Corvette ZR1

C2 RACE = 1963 C2 Z06 Race Car
C2 = 1963 Corvette

What is the date of the photoshoot? At 6PM est time, I'm available on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. >_> I could bring my ZR1 C6 RM, it's painted in (what I hope is a similar) yellow to the real C6.R. That's my best of my stock-ish looking Vettes. I also have the C3 convertible (premium). Great idea for a photoshoot, have a shot of the cars organized by generations and what not. I might buy another Vette...just for the photoshoot, my other Vettes are all tuned for drifting with some aftermarket parts. X_X

PSN: MedigoFlameX (if I can go in on the date chosen)
 
May I bring the Corvette Z06 (C2) Race Car? It's my favorite classic race car, so I'd be happy if you allowed it. If you do allow it, count me in!
 
I can most likely come in with the ZR1 RM, And if it's this week, hopefully I'm still not occupied with my school registration stuff, Next week I'm definitely going to be busy with school stuff.

ZR1 RM - Spartan0189
 
OP Updated.

No date added yet. I'll wait to see if the list fills up a bit. This will most likely be on a weekday, so it should fit your schedule. You're added to the list.

Yep, you're added to the list.

MedigoFlame already picked the ZR1 RM. How about the Z06 RM, or another Vette?"

I did a vette shoot a couple months ago for myself on daytona. The grassy area on the front stretch makes for some.great shots.

I have you listed for the 69' Stingray. When I picked the cars I just went through the list and tried to get all chassis and the race cars. If you can think of 4 more shout em out. I know I left out the C3 Vert and the Morrison.
 
When i get home ill see what i have. I thought there was 16 or 17 vettes including the A.M.
But that would be including some duplicates on chassis and style i think.

Yeah I think it would be okay to have some more duplicates though. So far I have several on the list:

C2 - 2 models
C4 - 2 models
C5 - 2 models
C6 - 4 models
 
I like your thought process with photo shoots.
I have a few albums ive done in similar fashion.
German engineering on the ring.
American muscle cars at laguna
Vettes at daytona.

Mine were all done offline so single car shots only.

I did an eiger shoot in 2 player with the art morrisson and the shelby cobra. Those two cars shoot well together.


Sorry for the off topic
 
I'm only free on Monday,Wednesday, and Friday if it's during the week but I can bring a C6 Z06 I'll just have to put the stock wheels back on

No problem, I'll save you a spot and hopefully have a date picked out tomorrow.
 
I lied about thursdays ;) mon tues and wed work for me. After august weekends as well for other shoots.
 
Are we like bringing the cars online so you can take photos of them?

I would host a lobby, set the laps to 3 or something low like that. Wait for everyone to show up. Start Race. Do not race, but instead coordinate several pictures with the cars. Such as: a giant V on the daytona straight, cars parked in order of year along the La Sarthe start/finish line, etc. I have a several ideas that I will share once I post a date. I'll give 5-10 mins for ppl to present their own ideas, with the entire group or just with a few cars. For example, I want one with the C4 ZR1, C5 Z06, and C6 Z06, and C6 ZR1. Finish race. Save replay. Everyone can save the replay and take their own pictures. I will take several and post them back here, and I assume everyone else will do the same.

So in short, it's not just for me. Everyone can take their own pictures how and when they please, the lobby will just let us get all the cars in one spot.:)
 
We can save online replays? How? I had no clue :ouch: Also I might be able to make it, I own every Corvette so a car won't be a problem. I think I'll go with the C1 though if I can. 👍

After a race has finished and everyone has returned to the lobby, there is a flashing "Race Results" button at the bottom of the screen (podium icon). Open that and inside there is there is a "Save Replay" button. This will save the replay to your PS3 and you can access it through the replay theater.

Let me know if you're joining us. The list is filling up pretty quick today, it looks like we might be able to do this in the next couple of days depending on schedules. Definitely by Monday of next week.

2) Paint chips should be stock, as in only the colors that the car comes with in the game. If anyone signs up and needs a stock paint chip for a Corvette I can send you one.
crap, you know what I'm talking about cowboys :P
 
I'll try to make it in the Z06 RM

Cool, you're added.


Only 2 more cars left to go. I could do with out the C4 ZR1 since we already have a C4, but I definitely think we need a road going C2 for the shoot. Once someone volunteers for that, I will finalize a date.

Right now it looks like our best option is Monday of next week. Once that is confirmed I will send everyone on the list a PM or PSN message to verify that the date and time works. I will add everyone to my friends list in the next few days so you can expect to see a FR from me.
