Kaiser-Frazer documentary film now on Youtube
« on: June 09, 2016, 10:24:28 PM »
As some of you know I'm a professional videographer.  I attended a regional meet in Jackson TN a while back and shot interview footage of K-F enthusiasts and club leaders. I also went to the Ypsilanti museum and interviewed the curators and photographed the cars. I started to put all this together into an hour long comprehensive documentary that I intended to sell on DVD. Other projects got in the way and this one got put on the back burner. Meanwhile, I sold my Kaiser and am now restoring a '66 TBird. I've decided this may never get finished and don't want to risk it being lost completely to a hard drive crash- so tonight I rendered it out "as is" and put it up on Youtube. Hope everyone enjoys it, in it's unfinished state, it's about 25 minutes long. If you want to send someone to it without sending a link, just tell them to go to Youtube and search "Kaiser-Frazer documentary". If anyone wants DVD's I can make them, but due to time involved would have to charge something.

Glad to do it. Everyone please share the link, especially with K-F fans who may not visit the forum. After all that work, I'd love for someone to actually see it!

I saw it and very much enjoyed it.  I shared the link on FaceBook and plan on showing it at work tomorrow.  Since I am the boss guys are going to learn about KF whether they like it or not....Funny I said in the film I had done everything but the running gear and I am on that now.  Very good show, class act for sure!

You are all welcome. The 3 members featured are Jim Lape, Joe Keys and Gilbert Chestney. Putting their names on the screen is one of the many finishing touches I left off. That and getting enough extra footage and photos to cover the many, many edits.

Glad you liked it Joe. That vintage Kaiser showroom footage you donated made the film. Were you the little kid in the store?

I've made a few DVD's of this and have made them available to the Ypsilanti museum. If anyone else would like a hard copy, PM me and I'll give you price and details. There will also be an ad in the next KFOCI bulletin.
