Thanks for this. Just 1 hour back was thinking how car scene are shoot in movies. And now I'm getting this notification from RU-vid. Your channel is a treasure for aspiring filmmakers. May god bless you all with happiness, peace, health and wealth. Thanks.
Even just a driving scene with dialogue take planning. I did one car scene in Amy's Baby were our protagonist has a breakdown in her car. I rode in the back, holding a shotgun mic on a very short boompole. Had to remain out of sight. Good times.
This is a complete audiovisual encyclopedia about How Filming Carscenes. Certainly one of the Best Video. Thousand Thanks StudioBinder for this Inspiring video.💯💯
The amount of preparation is more than you'd think. For my short Amy's Baby, we used an Arri Alexa mini, a $60,000 camera. It took 90 minutes to get right. But damn, the lights reflected off the windshield in downtown Sacramento was so beautiful.
The one that started it all. Love that film. If you notice, once the chase starts, the music ends. BTW, the '67 Mustang had a 351 c.i. I believe, but the sound was actually dubbed from the Le Mans Ford GT 40, 289 c.i. engine.
Can you delve into the meticulous process of maintaining visual continuity across various scenes, especially when they are shot separately, and elaborate on the techniques used to make them seamlessly appear as if part of one continuous shot?
I’m just as much of a car enthusiast as I am an animation/filmmaking/mixed media enthusiast! (I grew up watching films such as Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the Herbie the Love Bug movies, the Cars franchise, and Transformers (movies and tv) and my favorite scenein Toy Story is the chase scene with RC Car, and when the toys are driving the Pizza Planet Truck in Toy Story 2! And of course…in terms of experimental and visually stunning movies…Speed Racer! Need I say more? But either way, thank you so much for posting this!)
This was an awesome video! Didn’t realise how much work it took. Come a long way from sitting in a car with a driving scene played on a back screen 😂. Loved this!
one of the best videos from yall definitely wanna hear more about these obscure topics like this u dont see how to shoot a car scene on every other channel which is dope about studiobinder
I really love the cars scenes, car chase and car marks that appears in the Michael Bay Transformers movies. The are really awesome. Bay isnt the best director but the man really knows how to film a really really good car scene.
Hey studio binder, I love all the videos you make for us! There’s one thing that I want to suggest. Could you try to organize all your videos a bit more? I know you have playlists but a few videos are in multiple playlists and I’m pretty sure some videos aren’t even in them. Thank you!
There are several BTS on that film, which I love. I'm younger than those guys, but cruising in Lucas' Modesto is very similar to cruising in Sacramento in the late 70s. My MIL was famous for getting in trouble cruising K street in the 60s.
In regard to sound recording while filming on a moving car, it would've been interesting to ask the sound guys how they recorded sound on extreme chase sequences, like the one in The French Connection. It's a great video... but that further piece of info would have made it amazing!!
As a sound guy, it is damned difficult. Car noise you don't want is always a problem. Use a mic like the AT 4953b. Lav up your actors. Do ADR after the scene if necessary. My first car shot was with a cheap used Sennheiser, don't remember the model. It was a long shotgun. One tip, as the video suggested, use a low pass filter to filter out rumble, maybe 120 hertz. Experiment before the shot. I recommend safety first. Sound guys can't always where a seat belt, so drive slower than you would ordinarily. Only my short, The Script that Came in from the Cold, we laved up the talent, then had a pencil condenser mic wedged in between sand bags in the back seat.
Can you do a video on shooting with celluloid film cameras? From the pre production to post production. There is little info on RU-vid about film cameras.
@@StudioBinder and if you, please focus on the video tap function. I have absolutely no idea how the video tap works on celluloid cameras. Do they support playback and storage for later viewings?
Thanks for the video again. Great as always. I already posted it on the previous video but can you do a How They Shot It on "Poor Things". Saw this film during press run and again last week. Totally stunned.
These are a bit of a stretch to call "poor mans process. The rear screen/front screen- stage with elaborate rigging used to be called the "process stage". They had special cameras, projectors and rigging, even stuff like hanging miniatures and matte paintings to do these scenes in the proper studio way. The "poor mans process", then, was a term for the techniques used by the b-movies and indies that could not afford those luxuries. So they resorted to just a pure black background (even for dayshots) and maybe some stagehand with a swinging light if they were feeling frivolous. Calling the rigs of the Fast n Furious films poor mans process feels a lot like calling a nuke a firecracker. They may both be used to show destruction. But a nuke is not at all an approximation of a... Nuke.
Good question. What I did was write the dialogue, told the driver where I thought the lighting would be nice, and let them run the scene a few times. Shot on an Arri Alexa Mini. Oh my, so friggin' beautiful!
make a video on boat scenes like action scenes and the conversation between the actors inside it how many cameras need to be kept how much time does it take to shoot a 5 min clip for example in john wick 4
My Favorite Carscenes in Movies are : -Mad Max Franchise Specially Fury Road (2015) -French Connection (1971) -Batman Begins (2005) -Kill Bill Volume 1 (2003) -Pulp Fiction (1994) -T2 Judgment Day (1991) -Psycho (1960) -Drive (2011) -Collateral (2004) -Taxi Driver (1976) -The Batman (2022) Don't forget Star Wars spaceship scenes. Filming Carscenes and vehicles scenes are very Important to make entertainment in Movies.
I'll tell you how: use lav mics with either a wireless set up, or (my favorite) a personal data recorder with a lav mic. Curtis Judd has multiple videos on hiding lavs, using wireless gear, and so on. I personally like the Tascam DR 10L Pro personal data recorder. The Sennheiser G4 is probably the most common indie wireless rig.
On the subject of sound: the audience will forgive bad lighting, but not bad sound. Thus, your most valuable crew is your sound mixer. Pros know this to be true. And I not saying this because I'm a sound mixer.
Most car chases are boring and offer nothing new tbh at this point. Been done to death, so you need to be really creative to add something new. Great video as always tho!
I have a question, first thank you studio binder ,my question is the movies that have a lesson is better or what cuz all of new movies are just pure fun , it's good to watch but , still no thinking
not necessarily because the cardinal sin of filmmaking is to be boring, so a movie with a message that's boring would be worse than one that's just pure fun
hi, am from africa uganda. How do they light scenes and light seems so natural not from obvious lights. What camera settings do they export the final copy from so the color of the film doesnt change on different devoces
Considering the high quality of Studio binder videos I would wager they take longer than a week, which is how frequently SB churns them out. To balance workload, they rotate voice actors.
Nothing matches in terms of real world photography filming a car / vehicle in real life, no matter how good the virtual production is it doesn't match the real world look, like one to one, it always looks like a fake/virtual background, the audience can always tell no matter how good it is.
There's always more versatility when doing it for real. But virtual production has provided a lot more opportunities for filmmakers to realize their vision!
I used the poor man technque in my short film Kate. I shot all the background myself. With modern cameras and projectors, that has gotten extremely more accessible and can be seamless. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uvott1NjXhM.htmlsi=SkaUVcgbhkH_csdw&t=240
