Yes, American car commercials are frequently shot in New Zealand. You have very good crews and excellent locations. Plus, you have summer when we have winter. I shot two Dodge commercials in Ashburton back in 2001. We actually built the road that you see in the commercial. We brought an American director and DP, but used a crew from New Zealand. Had a great time. Wonderful people, fabulous country. Paul On Mar 5, 2007, at 2:07 PM, Alastair Robertson wrote:
