    Thumbs up CATMAN ON T.V. I need some help

    I am looking for some help I have a 40ft box full of cats / cat parts from CA USA out at sea, 4 Cats pre 1938, Engine Units and a pile of parts, The container is full, and maxxed out, My Limit was 19 ton inside the box, I am at 21 ton, and paying the surcharges for a little over weight . I am expecting the shipment next week I am looking forward to seeing the items I have purchased and not-even seen a piccy off um over 12 months back.

    I have been Approched by a Sub-Contract Film Company, who want to film the unloading process and the Restoration of an Old American Cat Crawler. I have stalled them for 2 years. So it looks Like I have a Film Crew of about 6 People videoing and documenting the importing and restoration of Antique Cats Will I need any make-up, do I need any special Clothing, nice clean boots etc etc ??, I Guess I need to be on my Best Behaviour and not use any Sware Words .

    I think KoO might have some pointers??, I am told they might film 3 hours worth of film, and make it into a 5 minute broadcast I am not quite too sure about the whole thing is being on the TV a good or bad thing.

    I've produced quiet a few videos/documentaries over the years of Cat machines. I would recommend having "good" work clothes on (Cat brand, even better) and try to make sure you're working in a well-lit environment. I'm sure the production crew will bring lighting, but the more natural light the better. And there's probably no need for make up. If they interview you, they might dust your face with a little powder, but nothing major.

    I would think a pair of Tractor Don's white coverals would be just the cat's meow.

    I was just going to recommend you needed the patented white coveralls, then I see that Jim D4&6 beat me to it. I tried to send you some before, but we never did make that happen. We could FedEx them for the shoot, tell the crew to pay/part of wardrobe. Maybe I can be in the credits
    Good luck, hope they actually do the shoot.

    Catman - I look forward to associating with a TV star. I've never been that close to one before .. I trust there will be all kinds of "perks" involved, as all good TV stars get, as a matter of course ..

    I also trust that you'll be wearing an ACMOC hat, Caterpillar gloves and boots, and a Cat jacket. Maybe if you put the "bite" on the local Cat dealer, mentioning the glorious, free, worldwide publicity .. they will shout you all the necessary branded equipment, just in appreciation ..

    I hope you read the fine print, They might have a license agreement that you can not copy right or show your cats to anyone -glen

    And just maybe you can find some pretty girls in short shorts and halter tops to help unload.
