Thanks for this. Just 1 hour back was thinking how car scene are shoot in movies. And now I'm getting this notification from RUclips. Your channel is a treasure for aspiring filmmakers. May god bless you all with happiness, peace, health and wealth. Thanks.
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.
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?
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!
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!)
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.
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
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.
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.
Can you do a video on shooting with celluloid film cameras? From the pre production to post production. There is little info on RUclips 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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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. ruclips.net/video/uvott1NjXhM/видео.htmlsi=SkaUVcgbhkH_csdw&t=240

I think the car rig for Children of Men really paid off, that scene is awesome
One of the best of all time!
One of the most memorable long take in film history (actually three scenes, but who counting?)

Probably one of the hardest shots in production... But worth it including.
Definitely, cars are here to stay so we got learn how to film them :D

Make one video on how they create huge sets!! Both interiors and outdoor ❤please
Thanks for the suggestion!
Wow. I'm not entirely sure why, but this video was particularly inspiring.
Glad you liked it!
It takes a lot of creativity to tell stories. Kudos to all filmmakers in the World.
Can you make a video on Balance between practical effects and CGI in modern filmmaking.
we might!
super, love the inside views and perspective - but please don't forget the greatest car chase ever: Bullitt!
👍

Can you make a viedo on challenges in designing film sets to convey desired atmospheres.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Fascinating video, SO well done!
Happy to help!
I want a video on how great directors create immersion in their movies!

Fascinating - I'm surprised there were no clips from - or any mention of American Graffiti.

Studiobinder should make a video about Francis Ford Coppala's filmography
We plan to!

He needs to when all his characters are cars haha
Love this! Your uploads are always amazing. Can you do a video on how to film a kiss scene? The Spiderman and mask of zorro kisses come to mind
Thanks for the suggestion! You might like our video on sex scenes ruclips.net/video/bh0HIi5WQq4/видео.html
@@StudioBinderI hate sex scenes. Slows the action down. My sex scenes are always, "He took her by the hand, and led her upstairs".
Awesome!! But William Friedkin did a amazing with the car scene in The French Connection. But firstly, safety first.
Always
That was crazy stupid. Emphasis on stupid.
these are always so entertaining and informative
That's the goal!
@@StudioBinder then youre Nailing it!
I'd love to see the making of from the final car chase in The Blues Brothers, particularly when they crash about 100 police cars!
That's epic!

I need to know how to write car chases. Kinda did one for my novel, but it was hard to do
Thanks for the suggestion!
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!
Amazing vid ❤
Cheers!
This was quite the exposé.
Thanks for watching!
Your videos make my mornings, Thanks!!!!
They're perfect with a cup of coffee!
Hello studio binder. Can you do a guide on how mics are used especially on a wide shot?
We'll make a vid on recording sound!
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.
Now to think of a script that can be written around a car.
I think there was a Tom Hardy movie that did just that!
Props to whoever picked to have Drive my car as the intro background music👌👌👌
💯
Need a video on character's transformation scenes. Tq
Thanks for the suggestion!
Perfect timing I just got my license
Congrats!

Done a bit of car filming myself the hardest part is sound recording, you can see why they use rigs for complex stuff.
Yup, the unseen key component
ADR is your friend.
Great instructions.
Glad you liked it!
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.
Batman begin carscenes is pretty poor. Transformers 1 is better
Great picks!
Check out Diva, Freebie and the Bean, To Live and Die in LA, Bullitt.
hi, loved the video. it would be really cool if you could make one about training montages.
Would love to see a video on car crash scenes!
Look up behind the scenes on "Smash Palace". One take, no stunt driver. Or Kill Bill where Tarantino almost killed Uma Thurman.
best american diner scenes
Diner, Breaking Bad, Pulp Fiction.
THE INTRO SONG IS ON FIRE
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!
Yup master the fundamentals and change the game!
If you're an indie filmmaker a chase on foot is just as exciting, safer, and a lot less expensive.
The usual voice actor is part of your brand. Please have him back.
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
@@StudioBinder thank you very much for the teaching , i learned alot from this Channel
I love it, but I’m still learning
we all are!
Can you make a detailed video on lighting and sound
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.
no hate to the guy but it felt weird watching this video without the usual voice actor
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.
I thought they had the best AI voices, tbh
Out of curiosity, you not been watching this channel much lately? This voice actor has been doing videos for them for I think nearly a year now
we've been using both narrators!
@@StudioBinder I guess I have some catching up to do! 😉
Good video. Something on Pacing and Narration would be nice
Thanks for the suggestion!
How do Sentiment scenes ......?
Thanks for the suggestion!
01:06 - Regarding crew safety: It looks just like one of them is scrolling on their phone while hurling down the road.
