Our Custom Video Production Van Tour

[@OrikzHD]

This is the type of modularity I have been looking for. Super thought out and very creative. Would make big production shoots so much easier.

[@barrett_media]

As someone looking to build a camera van right now, I geeked out so hard to this video!

[@javier225]

Hard work pays off

[@nightstringers]

Me too.

[@mseriesnigeria]

I want mobile video editing van like this..for film production and color grading

[@robchado]

This is insane. I just acquired a cargo van for production and am excited to kit it out. Great vid.

[@deandillard713]

Forget video production...you guys need to do custom van conversions or both!

[@RedFlyerMedia]

OMG I am in love. Like everyone else, I just totally geeked out. My only surprise is that this video hasn't gone totally viral.

[@ElayneOkaya]

This is the best production van I have ever seen. Ever.

[@Will-Roegge]

"the Banger Bus" is the reason I bought a van too. It changed the way I work on productions large or small. Thanks Matt and Bob for the inspiration and great example.

[@cameramanfrank]

Will Roegge can you make a video of your van ? That would be dope

[@victorfink6796]

This has to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

[@frederikvanmelle2448]

Great breakdown. Awesome van!!

[@BangersMatt]

Thank you!

[@RealChristinaLivingston]

This is so amazing, I don’t even know what to say….except… wow, good job. This is beyond innovative. Very inspiring.

[@Unitedfilms86]

So much inspiration for my first production van. Thanks a lot guys, you put the bar WAYYYY up high. have fun on your shoots ;)

[@BangersMatt]

Thanks!

[@eyeconikmedia2058]

( 3:43 sold me!) we need that shelving for our baby gear truck!

[@BangersMatt]

Shelves are truth.

[@ZOKAmedia]

I've watched this video a couple times now over the past few months. This morning I pulled the trigger on a 2015 Transit 148"... Building it out as a mobile production truck starting second week of September!

[@BangersMatt]

Heck yea. How's the build going? How many plastic christmas tree things have you broken?

[@ZOKAmedia]

@@BangersMatt It's coming along well. I want to say we're nearing completion. Would love to connect on social media!

[@brynmusselwhite4719]

Having followed this on IG and here, this walkthrough just raises the envy levels to new heights. I remember commenting that we fly everywhere on productions so can't justify this kind of build... But that's clearly no excuse as you probably fly more than us! Urgh... Seriously impressive, the reason it works so well is because you're the client. Only somebody who works doing this very specific kind of filming would get why it has to be this way. Kudos team!

[@brynmusselwhite4719]

And at 7.52... What the hell do you lift with that!!!

[@BangersMatt]

Bryn Musselwhite had the same opinion for a long time. I usually do 180,000 air miles a year. Still worth it!

[@BangersMatt]

Bryn Musselwhite was originally built for 2 REDs (array). But it’s really too big. Became more of a science project.

[@detachsounds]

What is their ig?

[@BangersMatt]

@@detachsounds @specialtyfield

[@storyisgreater]

Heck YES! Looking at going mobile for our studio vs renting space. So many advantages.

[@JDenim88]

My guy! This is the best van mod build ever made. Once my investments are ready to pull out you will be getting a call from me because this build is insane and I want to buy one made to order. 😁

[@BangersMatt]

Thanks dude!

[@ArchWayE]

Your video provides so much inspiration to our build.

[@RadiantMediaEchuca]

efficiency on a shoot is so important! and the clients love an organised crew :) very nice setup.

[@BangersMatt]

Time is money!

[@chadterpstra]

Nice work, Matt! Making Grand Rapids proud. ✊🏼

[@fordboy17]

Not gonna lie, I’m jealous, and I don’t even shoot video- that van is just that awesome! The countless little things that make your lives easier and making sure the mounts are interchangeable, just wow, that is some great planning and building! Next business venture: building custom work vans.

[@BenjaminRowlandTV]

Whoa. Well done. You thought this through and executed!

[@rickmagnell]

Step one..... get the van! Agh I want one so bad now. Thanks for all the tips!

[@nav9701]

Very inspiring! I’m venturing out of the home office and into a mobile design office van/truck to provide my web design/e-commerce services to brick and mortar stores in the UK. This video has definitely inspired my creativity to use all the space inside to its maximum ability.

[@BangersMatt]

Go for it!

[@Mike_Mandigo]

Sick. I plan on having a van like this. Thank you for the many many ideas of how we can suit this to our needs. 💪💪💪💪

[@AUTOSARTID]

man i love the van and your works.. definitely i'll following you!

I have a ford transit high top, and this would be super cool to do with it.

[@bigwhoopdave]

Like most others, I wish I hadn’t seen this. I watched it twice, immediately. Send help. That awning. The cart. The shelves, which are on shelves and have shelves. It’s all too much. Excellent work, keep it up.

[@BangersMatt]

Thanks!

[@Matt.Gillard]

This van is amazing! I’d love to see what they’ve changed and modded to make it even more incredible

[@NyleRaps]

Yes please, @Bangers&Matt

Just plywood with automotive carpet on them. Ez.

[@305kubrick]

This production build is beast mode. For those location shoots that are in hotels, high rises etc where you have to drive up several floors to park, this truck is too high to enter parking garages. What solution do you employ to transport gear from ground to high rises or buildings? Also wondering what security alarm systems would be best for these kind of vehicles.

[@mattjohnston2922]

Yea. High rise hotels stink. We try to avoid those. Good example. Say Las Vegas. Don't stay in a casino. There's a nice Hampton Inn with an outdoor parking lot on the other side of I-15. We book around parking, security and ease of use for all hotels and lodging for sure! Nothing worse than having to lug 20 cases up 2 elevators and 3 hallways when the bell-cart is missing!

How many turbos has it been through at this point and has it had transmission problems, or any other major problems? Beautiful build!

[@LiveFromCenterStageConcerts]

Amazing job, very inspiring! I am working on a similar project customizing a Ford Transit. Do you mind providing more information on your choice of inverter and the power configuration? We do primarily streaming events and want to generate our own power but Im a bit concerned about the switcher and some of the other sensitive gear we use.

[@BangersMatt]

We're using an AIMSPOWER 2000W pure sine wave inverter. Our streaming company has a separate similar setup in the trailer actually as a backup, but primary power is 2X 3,500W generators. The AIMS in this van actually kinda stinks - it hates generator power. It won't auto-switch to generator provided power most of the time. In my grey camper van, the slightly larger model AIMS inverter doesn't have that issue. No idea why. It works great on grid power.
