4 New Autogeek TV Episodes with Dennis Gage for My Classic Car

On Tuesday, October 11th, Max and I flew to Evansville, Indiana to shoot 4 new episodes for My Classic Car with Dennis Gage. The last time we worked with Dennis the focus was on detailing products as in polishes and waxes, this time the focus was on the different tools Autogeek offers and showing how each tool works when machine polishing paint.


The My Classic Car studio is tucked away in the rolling hills of Evansville and when we first arrived Dennis was filming with a representative from Corvette Central and then after that from Flaming River Products. So we quietly entered the set and then watched as they filmed these two segments featuring products from both companies.

Jerry from Corvette Central is working with Dennis who you can't see as a camera man is standing in front of him.

Autogeek is now the Title Sponsor for My Classic Car and this is why each time you watch the show you'll see our new Autogeek Garage sign on the wall in the background.

Mike is a "Grip" and that basically means anything that's gripped or positioned on the set he's in charge of, in this shot you see him adding a clamp to a beam to add more light for the Opel GT work.

There are a lot of lights on the set and it can get a little warm and this will tend to make you sweat. High Definition Cameras show everything so Dennis has an Make-up Artist on staff and she's in charge of making sure Dennis looks his best as well as taking care of all the guests on the show.

This is just part of what you have to do if you're working on TV...

This shot was taken right before we started the rotary buffer segment in which we shared just two of the rotary buffers we carry here at Autogeek, the DeWALT 849X and the Flex PE14

Next to me pointing to where the cool air comes out of the air conditioning vents is Sheila who is the Vice President of Sales and also the most wonderful host to all the guests that visit the My Classic Car TV Studio including Max and me. After we finished for the day she took us out to dinner to a local favorite place to dine, the Haub Steak House.

That is why I am heavily invested in Kini Flo lights and am just getting started in high power LED lamphousings. NO HEAT!

And you know how loud studio AC units can be. And that the directors demand that they be shut off during shooting. At least Kinos are much cooler than incandescent lamps and the LEDs are much cooler than even Kinos

The only problem is that HD cameras demand even more light than the older NTSC studio cameras did.

The more things change the more expensive it gets!
