FAQ’S
QUESTIONS QUESTIONS QUESTIONS!
WHERE DO WE START?
We start with a consultation phone call and go over all of your needs, details, scene locations and shoot date(s)
You would drop off your vehicle the day before the shoot and we place it on skates and do a full preflight so that it’s ready to go when you arrive. Your DP can do any tweaks like they like.
We require a deposit of half of the rental upon holding the date(s) for you. The second half is due at the start of the shoot date.
Payments can be made any way that you like, typically we email you an invoice through Square, that accept most payments. We can also do Zelle, Venmo or whatever works for you!
HOW DOES PAYMENT WORK?
WHAT KIND OF VEHICLE CAN I BRING?
Just about any kind. We’ve worked with Mini Coopers to Muscle cars. SUV’s to an Armored truck!
IS ANY GEAR INCLUDED?
YES! In fact… all of it! The studio is entirely pre-lit to our system. You don’t have to bring anything at all. Lights, grip gear, dolly, track, even a full camera package!
WHAT’S IN YOUR CAMERA PACKAGE?
You can bring any camera(s) that you like but we also have a Red Camera Package INCLUDED FOR FREE!
6k Red Komodo/ 2 Terabytes of storage/ Zeiss lightweight zoom PL Mount 21-100mm Lens / Atomos Monitors / Lidar focus system / Nano Batteries, even a tripod!
HOW DO I SHOOT THE OTHER SIDE(S) OF THE CAR?
That’s where the "skates" come in. Instead of moving the cameras, we simply turn the car to any angle and flip the moving backgrounds!
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SPIN THE CAR?
It only takes about a minute to turn the car itself but we give on average 15mins to be up, running, and shooting the opposite directions.
The industry refer to these backgrounds as “plates” our library has 9 camera angles making a full 360 view of each location. We simply choose the appropriate angle depending on the camera shot and project it onto the screens.
HOW DO THE BACKGROUNDS WORK?
HOW ARE THE PLATES CREATED?
We have already captured all of our rich plate footage, shot with our custom built 9 camera 360 degree driving rig.
Our system also runs Unreal Engine 5 for special plates (sci- fi, cyber punk, apocalyptic, etc)
CAN I BRING MY OWN DRIVING PLATES?
ABSOLUTELY!
WHAT IF I WANT SPECIFIC LOCATION(S)?
If you are in need of a specific location that we don’t already have, we can drive our custom rig to capture it for an additional fee. (Please inquire for rates)
DO WE GET ANY HELP WITH THE RENTAL?
YES! You will have a tech working the entire time handling the whole system. We take care of the complete projection system so that you can just concentrate on the performances. We are happy to give you any advice, guidance or technical knowledge if you require it!
WHAT AMENITIES DOES THE PLACE HAVE?
Far too many to list. We are a fully function film studio.
We suggest you watch our STUDIO-TOUR video giving you a full video tour of the entire facility!
CAN TALENT SEE WHERE THEY’RE DRIVING?
YES! Very little acting is required for that part. There is a 55” monitor that’s always in front of them to see the road. So they know when to turn or even stop.
CAN I DO WEATHER?
YES! We can make it rain or snow. (Additional rates apply)
HOW DOES POST PRODUCTION WORK?
Nada. Zip. No Post Production. When you’re done…you’re done. The true time & money beauty of our entire system!
A real armored truck on our stage!
Our Red Camera package with Zeiss zoom lens!
