Ford’s Language of Tape: The Modeling of the 2015 Ford Mustang

[ame]

Cool video. I'm glad Ford is slowly releasing stuff about the S550's design, testing and development.

Do you think these videos were filmed during the actual design process and are just being released now or did they just go back to the old models and film a few shorts for YouTube after the release.

They just went back to the old models to film a few shorts for YouTube after the release.

Actually it's a combination. They filmed them working in the studio's to document the design process and filmed the interviews later, then edited them together just for this purpose. They couldn't just go back to those old clay models because they are eventually covered with a 3-M Film called Di-Noc to simulate Painted Surfaces and Eventually the Clay Models are Destroyed. Sometimes a Fiberglass Mockup will survive, but those Bare Clay Models Never Survive.

I love seeing this type of stuff from a manufacturer. I wish they did more of the entire process and not just snippets.

I'm not a fan of so called reality tv with the exception being NFL Hardnocks. It would have been awesome if Ford created a series like that to document the development of the S550 program from start until sale. Imagine the buzz that would have created if it aired shortly before launch. Seriously if Flavor Flav had a reality show isn't the Mustang worthy?

NHL 24/7 is another good one. I think less reality tv and more documentary like Hardknocks.
