Let's have fun with this. I recently shot an Aston Martin spec on the side of another project (literally shot in an hour so go easy).

Who can guess what camera and lens set was used?

Bonus: Find the goofs

No exterior shot? Except for the logo on the headrest, it looks like a Buick. No offense intended. Also, the car rocks like a boat when the actor gets in.

What kind of money can one make on a spec like this? Curious because I have no idea whatsoever. Hope you sell it though...

Trust me I wish I had the time to get exterior shots and yeah I can agree the interior wasn't my favorite but hey it was free! The car rocking is subtle enough for my taste but yes in a perfect world I would have rigged it up above the hood.

As far as money I actually didn't shoot this to sell to anyone specifically. So I guess it's not much of a "spec" just a fun piece for my reel.

Hope I wasn't too harsh -- it looks good overall. I was just hoping to see the body. The new DB11 is my dream car. Maybe one day...

What model was this one?
 
Not at all! I agree with everything you said. It was a DB9 convertible. And yes one day....
 
Needs some trimming. The entry to the car can be cut to when the door is opening. Second shot, do you have a take where he's looking forward as soon as he gets in? We see him fumbling and too much of the top of his head. Commercials have to be clean and look effortless.

As a side note, have you seen Macgregors Spec Aston spec? Its a different tone and shot on RED One.

My guesses are that you can't see the map fully and that he roars off while still in Park.
 
Thanks for the input Bob. Good notes and loved the other spot.

Mark, you got 2 of 3. The last one is hard to find.

Hint: May need to freeze frame
 
Is the third one the engine revving before the tach shows any movement, right before he presses the D button?
 
He presses D but the display shows P, also probably not possible to have the high RPM in D, without the car Stearingwheel moving. Engine temp already in working range. Heavy strand of hair in the side shot that isn´t shown in the other shots.
