We took the techniques and gear used to film modern day car commercials and Hollywood car chases and shrunk them down to a miniature 1/10th scale too.

A miniature version of a Russian Arm was created using an RC tracking car and custom mounts designed to hold small lightweight cameras, to get as close to the action as possible. Additionally, miniature low loaders and trolleys were commissioned, which were used to capture locked close ups of the nose and rear of the car, just like full scale car commercials.

One of the biggest challenges was tech, we couldn’t find gear that could live stream content to review remotely whilst on the move. We repurposed a drone by removing the propellers and mounting it to a secondary stabilised RC vehicle. The wireless remote camera allowed us to stream the action live whilst giving visibility and agile filming control.
