The 2 Ways To Shoot Car Scenes

[@LukeVanMol]

Well explained. I’m in post for a road trip comedy I’m directing. We encountered pretty much every potential problem you described. We did an ultra poor man’s method. One tubular nan-light was mounted above the windshield for all the car shots. After realizing it would take at least half an hour to change the cameras mounted position for each angle, I opted to only shoot the master wide shots with the car rig, then we shot the rest of the interior medium shots on a tripod with a wide lens in the center consul. It caused about as many problems as you would expect. Just yesterday we finished recording ADR for every single driving scene. Our light needed a cord to power it, which meant in the drivers shot you could see the power cord running along the side of the window. You could also see the light in the master wide. I’m still working on VFX to take all those out. Not to mention all the on-set problems you already described that eat up the production schedule, causing much stress. No wonder people use green screen for this stuff. I didn’t consider that an option after watching some really bad car green screen on a low budget film that was still a higher budget than ours. Not worth the risk. All that being said, movies that have a lot of moving car shots are possible on a micro budget, but are extremely difficult.

First question that came to mind was "Which method was used on Taste Of Cherry by Kiarostami"

shot all of my car scenes for a short film, and NOW this video drops. Great video though!

[@АнзорФахми]

As always, the video is flawless! Thank you very much!

I still don't think they've nailed down car scenes realistically if done virtually in a studio vs. the real thing, there is nothing like real world lighting and motion that can be a one to one match, it always looks artificial and fake looking if done in a studio vs. the real thing, even with current day technological advancements made in Filmmaking.

[@mg6945]

Exactly. It doesn’t really matter that Other Guys used green screen, since it’s meant as a deeply satirical take on action movies, but the green screen effect is really noticeable. The best usage of it shown here was for Death Proof and Pulp Fiction, where Tarantino took advantage of its artificial nature to intentionally make it more surreal looking.

[@robertobuatti7226]

@@mg6945 Yes definitely, it really depends on how the filmmakers implement the driving sequence and not overuse the virtual production so it doesn't look artificial, but I feel if it can be filmed for real the better to sell the driving sequence to be more authentic.

This video is so well produced! Thank you for the great info!

Could you please make a video explaining the legal requirements of filmmaking, like this road permissions or for using guns in movies, and other documents

Hey man, love your channel, you probably were asked this before, but why the bright bars? I throw your vid full screen and I've got the yellow lines, can't wrap my head around why would you choose to do this...

[@RocKoNoX]

The power rangers movie actually pulled off a fun car scene.

[@rogerkincaid931]

StudioBinder did a similar video about two weeks ago.

[@therealmcdcm]

And?

[@jozeftotalwar]

You think In Depth Cine made this video in only two weeks? These coincidences just happen.

[@rogerkincaid931]

@@jozeftotalwar - I know. I was not trying to suggest plagiarism.

[@hey-zel]

@@rogerkincaid931I don’t mind similar videos being made. You can get a different perspective from similar made videos sometimes

[@LetsCrashThisParade]

Sounds like a pain in the ass lol

[@TinLeadHammer]

And then there is the most realistic method used in "Ronin".

[@mrebear9758]

Most of Ronin looks like it was shot on a process trailer too. Bullit and some Tom Cruise movies, it's clear the actors were doing most of the driving themselves.
