No problem.
That's how I do it, but it don't take me 8 hours. I don't record each car, just the 1932-1953 Ford V-8 autos. And if there is a very clear shot of the vehicle, the film does not have to be stopped at all. I do appreciate that era location shots can provide a challenge, but as an historian I live for such tasks. Since most movies only have a couple of Fords that appear only briefly, most movies do not provide a huge challenge or require a large expenditure of time.
Look through this thread. For a very large majority of the movies that I list on this thread, I have actually watched the movie and recorded the Fords in this manner. I watched two movies last night and saw no Fords. I like old movies, so this is not a big deal. I get to see old movies and possibly early V-8 Fords in their natural habitat (and in some cases old America on location).
Since I am pretty busy guy, I can only watch a few movies a week. I do have a list of V-8 Fords on Film that I have been compiling for some time now (I could post every week and it would take a long time to run out of V-8 Fords on Film). I have a lot of movies featuring Fords that IMDb doesn't have.
Mike, Many thanks for the great tip. I am looking forward to seeing a movie that is so rich in old cars and especially old V-8 Fords.
Will be looking for this one. Thanks to all who have posted, I really appreciate the tips.
