Car scenes

Re: Car scenes

I just realized you wanted dead on front shots, and I must say, the U-Haul we used was perfect for those. All the best.

One side note, we had to drive slower than a usual shot without being towed, but it still looked fine regarding the speed of the vehicle.

Re: Car scenes

I too am shooting some car scenes. Except my car will be a convertible and most of the footage will be shot on a highway (deserted two-laners, some four-laners, and one non-dialogue shot on PCH). Any advice as far as lighting, sound, locations to shoot -- someone said earlier they knew of some locations where you won't be bothered by cops -- I'm in LA. It's a roadtrip movie. I want rich/beautiful colors. Not that harsh ugly top-down super-bright sun look.

Re: Car scenes

Hey guys, I was able to find some pics of the whole car set-up we used, as mentioned above. You'll get a solid idea of our set up. Here's the problem, I'm pc illiterate, if someone explains to me how to post pics in here, like I'm a 5 year old, I'll post them in here for you guys.

Re: Car scenes

Let's see if this works...

Hope that helps a little.

Re: Car scenes

By the way, if you think setting up car shots is difficult, our current film requires high speed dolly shots with horses and carriages on rough terrain...sheesh!

That is awsome Alvarez, thank you so much. I'm going to pick up that car mount for sure.

So that's all you ordered?

If your speaking to me, yes the car mount comes with everything you need including a safety strap.
