On Sunday afternoon while the LA Lakers were busy winning their 15th championship in that franchise's storied history, we here at Carlyle Motor Club were busy shooting yet another music video/commercial in an effort to make some history of our own. (To Derek Hunt: money never sleeps, it also doesnt take time out to watch basketball games LOL) This time around, we were honored to have Far West Entertainment/Universal Records hip hop recording artist Young Life bless us with an awesome custom Carlyle verse.
The shoot started with a caravan throughout the streets of the San Fernando Valley that included a Mercedes Benz CL63, a Mercedes Benz SL550 AMG, a Lexus GS450, and a BMW 650i. President of Carlyle, Geoff Hull, also brought the Rolls Royce Phantom out just to reaffirm Carlyle Motor Club's place among the elite LA area luxury & exotic car dealerships [Editor's Note] Shout out to our friends at Far West Ent. who we were following, for having the presence of mind to pull over to the side of the road to let the LAPD squad cars that were trailing us go ahead of us and pass us by while we were caravanning. I'm sure they ran our plates and were disappointed to discover all of our cars are clean and in good standing. Haters come in all shapes & sizes. But I digress...
Acclaimed director John Colombo was on his "A" game as he got some awesome driving & performance shots of Young Life doing his thing in & around the BMW 650i Convertible. The 650i ended up being the showpiece of the video. Yes, we closed off an entire street to shoot this video...
All in all it was a great shoot and should end up yielding yet another masterpiece Carlyle commercial. Special thanks to Tasiri from Black Wall Street, Arman from Far West Entertainment, photographer Jorge Peniche, Emil of Emsar Design for putting it all together for us, and of course Young Life.
Stay tuned as we'll be leaking the Young Life Carlyle verse in the next couple days, the behind-the-scenes pictures & footage from the video shoot next week, and of course releasing the Young Life commercial for Carlyle in upcoming months!
