I did not have a show last night so we rented some movies. My wife and I watched the hangover and then Bride wars. In Bride wars, one scene had a DJ and they were using the Bose L1 system. Thought that was pretty cool.

Was that movie made by Bose? :sqlaugh:
 
Who says Bose doesn't market to DJs :sqwink:

Wondered what they paid for the product placement
 
Hey Karl,

Thanks for the post. Saw the same movie with the Mrs a couple of weeks ago & saw that too.

On a similar thread, at last night's NYE wedding, almost as soon as the reception doors were opened for the waiting guests, a guest saw the Bose & his eyes lit up. He points them out to his older son & the ensuing conversation became an oh-so-familar one.

Final thought, this wedding was for 180 guests @ a hotel ballroom. As the reception continued, it was clear that there were crashers (many n/dressed for a wedding). I guess they liked what they were hearing. :sqwink:

Zero.

The DJ in Bride Wars is Charles Bernard, and that's his own system that they used in the movie - it's just happens to be Bose. Charles has been DJing since 1990, and also does some work for Gemini/Cortex at the major music tradeshows.

Charles was the best man at my wedding in 2006.

I have noticed several TV shows and movies where they were using Mackie SRM450 speakers and ultimate support stands.

True. I've seen JBL Eons too...

Remake of Prom Night - You'll see a DJ spinning on a single DN-1000. Yeah, one CD player.

Oh, and in the movie "Love Actually", I think you'll see a Martin Acrobat's images on the dance floor in the one wedding scene. :sqwink:
 
Obviously, it's easier to identify gear you are familiar with.

I wonder if any equipment companies have paid to have their DJ gear in movies.

I would think product placement in movies would be geared towards consumers

Seems like a long shot to be advertising professional gear to the masses like that.

Hey, if the masses see the gear in the movies they will learn to hire DJs with said gear!
Bride to DJ: "Do you use JBL Eons? I can't hire you if you don't!
Bride to DJ: "You use Bose! Oh my, how I love me some big sticks!"

Totally agree, but unless they do some major close ups, how is the consumer going to know what kind of speakers they actually are?

They are assuming that the customer has the zoom feature on their telly on!
 
So which size big screen do you have Karl?

To be able to see the sticks it must have been at minimum 42 inch. LOL. Happy New Year:sqwink::sqwink:.

I forget what moive I was watching on HBO the other week
OBVIOUSLY sponsored by Virgin (records)
the lead character's sister supposedly worked at the store, so they have MULTIPLE shots of her walking into the store (she walks in front of the store sign and the camera sticks with the sign as she walks out of frame) she has a conversation with her sister IN the store (standing directly in front of the Virgin sign) and as she leaves, they pan UP and away from her, to show the huge red neon sign outside the store.
and that was just ONE scene that featured their logo.
I don't mind product placement, but holy cow!
