Hi everyone, I am gonna be shooting a short 3-5 minute video that my boss wants me to do for his lamborghini murcielago. We have a stock dvx 100b, no special lenses or audio equipment, and he wants it to look very similar to this:

It is a commercial that Ferrari and shell did together to promote both Shell gas. Now I have never done a car shoot before, and I was wondering if anyone out there might have a few tips on how to do a car video like this for a Lambo? It looks like in this commercial that they use a rig to hold the camera onto the car on a lot of the shots....how do I get one, or make one? Anything would help out at this point, thanks so much guys!
 
wow. I salut my hat to you sir, all the luck to you.

I wish i had something to say except.. perhaps with what you have, the only thing you can control is how you color grade and manipulate the editing.

Otherwise you need to purchase some sort of grip kit to rig the car with a camera mount.
 
How is your experience with the Sticky pod? I'm assuming you have the "sticky pod director"? Is it reliable at high speeds? How versatile is it?
