Car rigging in the film industry refers to the process of mounting cameras or other equipment onto vehicles to capture dynamic shots while on the move.
Car/vehicle rigging
Common car rigging setups include:
Suction mounts: These mounts use powerful suction cups to attach cameras to the exterior of the vehicle, such as the hood, roof, or windows. Suction mounts provide stability and flexibility in capturing shots from different angles.
Camera cars: Camera cars are specially modified vehicles equipped with platforms or rigs on which cameras can be mounted. These vehicles are designed to provide smooth movement while maintaining stability, allowing filmmakers to capture shots with precise control and reduced vibrations.
Pursuit vehicles: Pursuit vehicles are typically used in high-speed chase sequences. They are specialized vehicles equipped with platforms or rigs that extend from the car, providing a stable base for cameras to capture action-packed shots while maintaining safety.
Process trailers: Process trailers are trailers specifically designed for filming driving scenes. They allow the actors to perform their scenes while being towed, with the camera mounted on the trailer to capture the action.
It adds excitement, realism, and visual impact
Car rigging requires skilled technicians who understand the specific requirements of camera placement, safety protocols, and the equipment needed to achieve desired shots. Safety is of utmost importance during car rigging, with precautions taken to secure the equipment and ensure the well-being of the crew and performers involved.
