FALKEN Photoshoot

I just came back from Buttonwillow Raceway.
I took 5ZIGEN TSX there for photoshoot for FALKEN TIRE.

John of FALKEN TIRE takes pictures of the TSX under clear blue sky of Buttonwillow.
The tires on the 5ZIGEN TSX are Azenis RT-615, 235/40-18.

This is what John is taking "rig shot" of the TSX.

John fixes the camera up side down on the rod and sets the angle, focus and exposure.
A young FALKEN race driver gets in the car as a model.
He helped us in his break time of testing FALKEN's American Le Mans race car.

Then, two guys pushes the car and John shots with super slow shutter speed.
The rod and the suckers (and the restrooms in the back ground) will be disappeared by Photoshop.
It makes the picture look it was taken in front of the car running at high speed, like cover pictures of car magazines.

It was worth to drive 3 hours for this photoshoot.
Thanks John, for your great job!
We, all 5ZIGEN staffs, are looking forward to seeing the pictures on the FALKEN ads.
