[edit] Here are some questions that are asked by you and will hopefully/helpfully be answered by you and us.
[edit] GENERAL
- So you guys camping on peoples couches or did you guys get Ford to pay for hotel rooms?
- "A fan replies - If it is couches, this would be a good place to start: http://www.couchsurfing.com/"
We are doing a combination of both, but since there are 4 of us, we usually try to stay in hotels. Ford provided us with the Escape Hybrid, and Environmental Countdown is covering our expenses, including hotels.
[edit] CAR
- You should tell us a bit more about the car (it's a hybrid, right?)
- Yes, it is a Ford Escape Hybrid.
- How many MPG?
- We are averaging round 36 mpg.
- It's great that they gave you a car, but doesn't it suck that a (non-hybrid) Corolla could do better?
- How fast does it go?
- We've got it going 90ish, but it can go faster.
- Does it have a GPS?
- Yes it does.
- An mp3 player?
- We are using RoadTrip to connect our iPods through the radio.
- Satellite or HD radio built in?
- No.
[edit] GEAR
- What kind of cameras do you use?
- We are using a few cameras. Our primary camera is a Sony HRD-HC1, and our secondary is a Panasonic PV-GS400. There are also a couple gadgets that we use to shoot both video and stills, the Canon SD-600 is one, and the Nokia N-93 is the other.
[edit] TEAM
- Why don't you work with a professional cameraman?(I am getting dizzy!)
- Why don't you edit the videos?
[edit] SPONSORS
- Who are your sponsors (more than just an name)?
- Why did they want to sponsor you?
- Why did you want them as a sponsor?
- How are they supporting you?
- Did they come to you, or did you go to them?
