From the Cabin.
To the Smallest Control.
Feature Demonstrations.
Plan each control, movement and insert shot. Film a clear sequence that explains how the feature works without rushing the close-ups.
Interior Stories.
Allow a dedicated cabin setup for displays, trim and materials. Check camera positions and reflections before filming the presenter or product sequence.
Hands and Controls.
Bring an approved shot list for button presses, steering-wheel controls and dashboard inserts. Keep continuity consistent between takes.
Detail photographs illustrate filming ideas. The studio archive gallery shows productions at Cineview.
Before the vehicle arrives
Plan the Frame.
Prepare the Vehicle.
A vehicle film often moves between wide views, presenter sequences and detailed inserts. Prepare the cabin and visible surfaces before the first take, then allow time to change camera positions and refine reflections.
Vehicle dimensions: send length, width and height, including mirrors or fitted accessories, so access and positioning can be discussed.
Arrival plan: agree delivery, drivers, load-in and the time needed to place the vehicle safely before lighting begins.
Floor protection: discuss tyres, cleaning and protection for the studio floor as part of your production plan.
Allow time for each setup
Control the Light.
Keep the Sequence Clear.
Work through your main vehicle angles, cabin scenes and detail shots with your camera and lighting team. Share requirements for green-screen composites, controlled reflections, talent and any camera movement before booking.
Studio hire provides the space for your production. A vehicle, camera operator, sound recordist, lighting crew, post-production and road filming are not automatically included. Agree any additional equipment or support in your quote.
