While chase cars are most commonly associated with capturing dynamic shots involving vehicles, they can also be used for various other filmmaking scenarios. Here are some additional use cases for chase cars.
When characters are running or moving at a fast pace, a chase car can keep up with them, allowing for smooth tracking shots. This is particularly useful in scenes where traditional steadicam may struggle to maintain the required speed and stability.
Did you know we can also move real smooth and slow? We've perfected 'dolly' movements to be able to perform in as many ways as possible on set. Just in case our chase car is too fast and to big we're happy to bring out our rickshaw! Switching the setup between car and rickshaw is a matter of minutes and you will again find new ways of moving the camera dynamically.
While not technically a “chase car” on the ground, some filmmaking scenarios involve coordinating aerial shots using helicopters or drones alongside ground-based chase cars. This combination allows for seamless transitions between ground and aerial perspectives. Featuring the madly skilled drone pilots of Shift Creative.
CAMERA PACKAGE
We can provide different camera packages, ranging from mirrorless to cinema camera, prepare an in-house camera package or host your very custom camera package.
RIG / SUSPENSION
Our proven gold standard is the Flowcine Blackarm mounted onto a speedrail rig. Suitable and secure mounting point on the chase car provide the most stable base for the camera arm to ensure optimal responsiveness of the Flowcine Blackarm to movements, and ensure that the camera remains stable and well-balanced.
STABILIZER
The collaboration between the DJI Ronin 2 and Flowcine Blackarm results in a more comprehensive stabilization system. The gimbal addresses high-frequency vibrations and small movements, while the Blackarm addresses low-frequency vibrations and larger shocks, providing an overall smoother and more stable shooting platform.
CUSTOMIZATION
Tailor our services to your unique filming needs, whether it’s high-speed pursuits, stunt sequences, or capturing breathtaking aerial shots.
CREW & PERMITS
Get on board! Hire an experienced and skilled chase car team, including a chase car driver, camera operator, and any additional crew members.
Please bear in mind
to arrange all necessary shooting permits and road closings ahead of time! Of course we can help you out with this procedure.
