GR4 Productions will be doing team/vehicle profiles during sign-in at the UROC Salt Lake event for the 2006 UROC TV show. This will consist of a video mug-shot of Driver and spotter and vehicle. There will also be questions about vehicles specs and team info. It is requested that the teams show up to sign-in with clean and wrinkle-free uniforms: both driver and spotter.

Filming this year has been great. You guys have been TOP-NOTCH! The interview footage is turning out great and many of you are getting good at reponding while on camera.

We appreciate your patience in Phoenix when we held up the main event for 5 minutes trying to capture the opener shot with that 45' jib set-up. We did get the right shot. There will be another Jib and helicopter Salt Lake which will flow smoothly.

If there is a situation when we have to do 2 or 3 takes, please have patience. We broadcast into 27 million homes accross the country and would rather have the few thousand at the event wait a couple of minutes to get the right footage for the 27 million homes.

Thanks in advance for your understanding and patience.

For questions email me directly. And if you think you have a good story that would make a noce segment on the show, let me know! See ya' in Salt Lake!

AWESOME JJ!
Sounds like you guys are working up a GREAT production.
I believe this will be the best Rock Crawling Comp series ever broadcast.

Please keep us informed as much as possible about what's going on.

I can answer any questions about the production of the show, but that's about it. UROC is handling distribution so all questions on broadcast need to go to UROC. I can tell you that UROC decided the show needed to be a 1 hour show and that is what we have been producing. So it will be twice as long as last year. We are incorporating awesome point-of-views (POVs) including 34 on-board camera angles, 45' jibs, helicopter footage, and more driver/spotter personalities and team highlights.

Done....

I'm thinking good neat team shirts- most of the fire suits are looking tired this far into the season- this way spotter an driver match better too.

Good idea!

We will be shooting you all from the waist-up. It will be a good idea for driver and spotter to have matching shirts. Comb your hair. Shave. Please look your bests with the consideration that UROC is a professional motorsport and we are all directly responsible for conveying that through the TV screen.

We will have an 8x8 area that will be isolated to control light as a studio with green-screen and a light set-up specifically designed for these profile shots. You guys will look great! Just show up clean, groomed, and matching...

If you have sponsors, you may want to call them and tell them what is going on. I am sure that they will be more than happy to set you up nicely for this. This is their chance for brand impressions in over 27 millions homes and reinforce their sponsorship commitment. We will have a generic-looking shirt that will be available for those who show up in dirty, worn, or stained shirts. Again, our responsibility is to translate professionalism to the home audience, so we would ask you to wear the generic shirt if, for some reason, you should need it.

Thanks again. See you in about a week..
