URGENT! Lands End Photo Shoot

[Bill Basler]

We have received a request for a restored wooden runabout for a Lands End Fall Outerwear catalog photo shoot. The shoot will take place in salt water in Long Island Sound, June 15 and June 18. . The boat will need to be available for 2 days. Obviously this is coming right up.

Specifics on the exact style of boat were not provided, but the following details were provided:

Shoot info is as follows:

• 15 and 18 June
  Sheffield Island Light House, Norwalk, CT
  Hours 8:30-5:30, approximately
  Boat will not be used in every shot, but most of them. 10-12 shots per day.
  # of people on boat: captain, photographer, 1 model, possibly 2, 1 photo assistant
  Rate is $1,200.00 per day

Lands End will carry full insurance. Signature of a standard photography release is requested.

Given the number of persons on board (4 to 5) this will need to be a good size runabout, utility or cruiser.

Please contact me via PM on Boat Buzz, or via email. I will coordinate from there.

I just spoke with the prop stylist. A new clarification. The boat will be prominently featured in the shots, but the boat will NOT be running. It will be docked at the Sheffield Island Lighthouse dock. Models will be on board, socializing, etc.

Boat would need to get to and from dock under own power.

Looks like John Kadimik is going to take charge of this. Thanks John. Hopefully you can make some gas money.
