Talking Filming of IS Commercial in San Francisco!

5/25/12 around 4PM on Sunset Blvd. Was stopped at a roadblock for what?! A filming of a Lexus IS250, 350, F commercial! Managed to pull over and park to snap a few shots and a quick vid before being told that I needed to leave and no cameras were allowed But it sure was cool getting to see how they were made and what not, never thought it would ever happen in person! Enjoy!

Heres a link for a vid I took: http://youtu.be/_Z2siJQn4E0

And below are pics!

Cool find. However you should be able to film all you want since they are on public roads.

Yeah, where's the RX camera vehicle?
Also note the requisite full, dark tint everywhere and the tinted front windshields. Tint any car like that and it will make it look more stealthy/aggressive. Also, ad cars are often lowered, but it doesn't appear to be done here.
