Mercedes Pens Makes the Doggie Boogie Movie Trailer

 Pijo Doggie Boggie jumping in the Mercedes Pens Art Car

About a year ago the Mercedes Pens Art Car was hired to be in a movie called Doggie Boogie about Pijo the dancing Dog. Yesterday I run into the trailer and to my big surprise I found a brief shot of Pijo jumping in the Mercedes Pens from the passenger side. This was the scene right before the big chase scene, with a taxi cab going after Pijo in the back seat looking out. In fact a Pijo stuffed stunt double was used made from hair collected from the real deal. Not sure when the movie will hit the big screen but I am looking forward to my art cars big day on the silver screen. Its a very cute movie and the color scheme is simply magnificent, perfect movie to for The Mercedes Pens.

Mercedes Pens in the Doggie Boggie Movie

This Friday the Mercedes Pens and I will be headed down to SF for more shooting for the Doggie Boggie movie that the pen car is in. This shot was taken last month while shooting the chase scene, where the taxi cab goes after the Mercedes pens driven by Candler and Pijo the dog looking out the back window.

Candler is played by Chris Marsol, a kind soul whose dog Yuman has been down the path of Barkananda. He realizes Cassie and Pijo’s needs and introduces them to Shangrrrrla.

It was a little nerve racking handing the car keys over to Chris but a after a few minutes of explaining the basics he took off with no problems. He also brought the car back in one piece but not Chris, he got cut pretty bad on a pen in the doorway as he was getting out and lost a fake shirt pocket to another pen a little while later. The pen car is pretty but you can never turn your back on it.

4 Steps to prepping the Mercedes Pens for a movie shoot

Do you ever wonder what its like over here at the Pen Guy house with all the donated pens I have been collecting locally and through the mail? Well here are the exclusive, never before seen pictures of my front yard totally covered in pens ready to sorting for my big roof project.

You start out with all the old pens out in the open ready for sorting.

Then you start sorting the crayola markers by color in bundles.

Then you prep the roof with drain pipe glued on with silicone.

Then you shove all the crayola marker bundles in the tubes and pray to God they don’t fly off the roof while your driving down the highway at a whopping 65mph.

It took me about a week to scrape and prep the roof and another week to short and glue the new pens on. All this to get the Mercedes Pens ready for filming on the new movie called Doggie Boogie in San Francisco. I got one more day of shooting next week so all I have to do do is show up with the car just as it was last week.

Mercedes Pens to Appear in Doggie Boogie Movie

Yes folk its true I just signed on with my Mercedes Pens to appear in a movie called “Doggie Boogie!, Get Your Grrrr ON!”. Its a Feel-Good Family Comedy with an Unusual Twist, written directed and Produced by Romanus Wolter. They were looking for a colorful art car to be in about four scenes, one of them a car chase scene. Filming is to begin in a couple of weeks in San Francisco which means I don’t have much time to get the car ready for the big screen. One of the sections I need to work on is the roof, because the pens are faded, broken and sad looking so I need some fresh ones.

The movie is about a devoted Bichon pup helps his teenage owner and her uncle unleash their true potential in a wild quest for personal identity that romps through the worlds of dancing dogs and holistic doggie healing. more
