I think the picture cars on Snowfall
do 80% of the job for the environment
and transporting the viewer to 1986.
I've been driving a car since season one,
so now I feel like a pro.
So like when we do a scene in the car
and they're like OK, do you want us to drive it back to one,
I'm like nah, I got it.
I'll bring it back.
It's-- it's been cool.
It's been cool.
Because I'm a car fanatic so being able to like, be
in that moment and drive a vehicle from that time,
it just helps me get back into character.
It's 1986 in Snowfall and so any time
you're out on the streets you have
to replace all the automobiles.
Brian Gurney, our picture car coordinator,
has this Herculean task of creating
the auto world for Snowfall.
The warehouse itself is one of the coolest structures I've
ever seen, it's like all graffiti.
It's really kind of a cool world to go over there and see
all those old cars in that cool building
right there on the set.
So this is our warehouse.
This is kind of where we keep everything.
We have cop cars, Franklin's cars, Jerome's cars,
I mean just everybody.
Each car is different in its own way
as far as like mechanisms and things like that.
We do a lot of pulling of doors, windows coming down,
windows coming out.
There's just a lot of little things
that make this project unique.
There's been a little more action this season than most.
A lot of shootouts, a lot of crashes, and things like that.
My favorite moment involving the cause this season
was where me, Sergio Peris-Mencheta and Carter
Hudson were doing the deal.
And then we're ambushed, and then we have to drive away.
Have to back up here into the truck.
Stay down!
I already felt like Harrison Ford.
And then we drive off, it was just
amazing to have an environment that instantly
transports you to that time.
We go through a lot of vehicles on the show.
A lot.
We've been through five vehicles with Franklin, this season
he's in the Lincoln town car.
We have Jerome's BMW.
He's been through two cars.
Though he's been through two cars.
And it's nice to track Louis and Jerome's growth you know,
through the car's.
Louis old car, it was nice but it was big.
And now she's got this cute little Benz,
I think it is, and looks sporty.
And it definitely is an upgrade, absolutely.
There is a moment where Louis and Jerome
have a scene with Melo.
Melo drives up in this Ferrari and Amman,
not Jerome, Amman is like what?
How does he have this car?
Where's our Ferrari?
So that is fun.
Like kind of tracking their success, and who's
more successful or more showy.
Teddy is another one.
This is his third car in two seasons.
The last few seasons I've driven this like boat of a car.
The thing sticks out like 45 feet in front of you
and it weighs like two tons.
I think part of Teddy coming back now
is stripping him even further down.
So now the car is some shitty beater, you know.
And-- and it just gets more and more beat up as
the season goes.
It's like more and more violent things happen.
It's always funny when there's like two of the same car
from 40 years ago.
And it's one, it's old and shitty,
and then there's like one, it's old and shitty
but has like bullet holes and the glass broken out.
And they kind of just swap them out.
It's like where do they find two of those cars.
These cars aren't designed or weren't designed at the time
to last.
These are all what we consider throwaway cars.
So parts are very hard to find, things break easier,
things don't last.
So Yeah the 80's--
80's are definitely challenging.
To keep them running, it's really up to my guys.
The crew that we work with is phenomenal.
It's like a little family, we've all grown together.
To almost be able to read each other's minds.
My easy unique piece, it's what I would consider
the heart of the operation.
Because there's a lot of tools.
And there's a lot of support pieces on that.
It's a Mitsubishi, it's a little bit bigger than the golf cart.
It's got gas on it, it's got fluids oils, glass cleaner,
I mean anything you could need for picture cars.
It has everything.
Being able to you know, talk to stunts and talk
to effects, and visual effects as well.
What they're going to see, what they plan on using
will determine on how we handle things.
Hopefully we won't destroy too many of these
because when they last for 50 years
and then we turn around and destroy them,
kind of hurts my heart.
That's why we do what we can to take care of them.
Five years of this has been really awesome.
So I look forward to next season.
