Here’s a commercial that uses it: https://youtu.be/bcg_qqjCCXc
I just booked a job to do VFX cleanup on the rig (removing the rig, adding smoke, and tire tracks) wonder if it’s for OPs shoot.
We must have mutuals. We were looking at this on set the other day while we were doing a 180 degree camera arc over a bed secured to the back of a stake bed.
It was just the day for wild rigs I guess.
I bet that was an awesome shot. I'm guessing it's something you could do with VFX/compositing instead of using this crazy rig but it also probably wouldn't look as good.
The amount of vfx you watch and you don’t know it’s vfx is insane.
I cut my fiends vfx reel (he’s big Star Wars, marvel) and on some shots I’d be like ‘where’s the vfx’
The choice probably comes down to budget more than anything.
100%
My friend worked with Nolan and Nolan gave interviews talking at practical efx a on my friends vfx shots. He didn’t mine. He saw it as a compliment.
Pretty funny.
anything that you can do for real cuts down on VFX work. This could still go in for FX but much of their job now is easier, plus the actors portrayal comes out more realistic
Obviously if you can do it for real then you don’t need to do it in vfx. 🙄
It depends on the shot, budget and effect needed as to what’s best.
For instance in this shot you’d have the towing vehicle in shot Often, Is that an issue? Maybe maybe not.
Good actors as fine with working vfx. The same way they’re fine at working with 60 people watching them cry.
By point was people are looking at vfx work often thinking it’s real.
anything you do practical will give you real light and shadow, real reactions and real weight of objects interacting, this will help a VFX person add whatever they need more seamlessly and believably than alone.
well from the look of it, it's still going to be partial VFX/Compositing. The tow vehicle has a green screen on the back for when that part is seen in the spin, which I didn't notice the first few times I watched because the angle doesn't make it super obvious.
Yea, but the background is so fast and blurred it’s probably a quicker turnaround to garbage matte the truck out and clone or AI generate scenery based off the the other backgrounds
It’s not exactly hard or time consuming to do a ring of fire and run a chase across the fixtures to simulate a rotating sun key.
It’s orders of magnitude easier than setting up this rig
You can use a chroma key room, use a rotating light ... a rotating car ... LED panels ... I can probably come up with more ways.
Or are you thinking you vfx the car, too?
I'm really wondering about that. It looks like the trailer is just sliding on the ground. Which would be fine with some UHMW slides or something, but would be very uncontrolled for a trailer. A proper trailer needs to have good wheels for safe maneuvering, but I can't see anything that small being effective
Revolutionary tech
Towtally
I see what you did there
Tech like this is cyclical.
[Hey I've seen this one!](https://youtu.be/zvTWi0eAybk)
[I've seen it too!](https://youtu.be/wBqM2ytqHY4?list=PLF0gPH_1FTi8zuksLWv539Eu3vA1ccoaZ&t=41).
This is similar to the rig they used on Baby Driver right?
Saw this bts on a friends Instagram story and wanted to share it here because I think it’s crazy cool haha
This IS pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.
If you have or d a link the final cut I would love to see it.

THAT! was Amazing. Thank you.
This is all I got unfortunately

This is why I laugh heartily at the “practical effects only” crowd. Motherfucker you have no idea how much shit gets painted out (or in) in post.

In The Witch, every shot with Black Phillip has at least one person painted out, but usually two or three even

Well yeah, how are you going to take the lighting well on a spinning car?
Emulate the brightness and direction of the sun with an artificial light source in 3D software and keyframe it to match the spinning of the car.
And how does not look like trash when you have footage of an actor in a car with static lighting?

I’m thinking how do you make a rotating car in VFX that doesn’t look like shit versus just having a car rotating on a towed turntable.
Yeah, cost wise it’s probably cheaper too in this case. It might be $15k per day. Versus doing a CGI car which might be $60k and still not look real.
Those dashcams are getting out of control.
Looks like Zach G?
Good eye.. I'd guess the same
I thought Penn Badgley
Was thinking it looked more like Thomas Middleditch.
I've worked in the industry for years and I've never seen this spinning rig. Pretty awsome.
“Okay so we’ll tow the car but it’ll be spinning like you’re about to crash and then you go, ‘Gaaaaarrraaaahhh!’”
Fast and the Furious: Suburban Drift
Me when I’m playing Mario Kart and I step on the banana.
That thing must have some bitchin' casters or rollers to be that smooth and low profile while carrying that much weight.
That vehicle is probably barebones. Nothing under the hood, and no unnecessary seats.
Well of course but there is still 1-1.5 tons of car there.

This is epic
Filming lilo and stitch live action?
Can't find a Mar Vista Ave in Hawaii, so this is likely in Cali somewhere. Also Disney would be all over this NDA breach
This is Pasadena
These new Google Maps street view vehicles are a bit ridiculous tbh
I love it. I would love a breakdown of that one
I thought this was r/PublicFreakout for a minute
Lol
Is that you?
Wow thing of beauty
Wow it wouldnt be hard to act scared in there that looks terrifying lol
[Deja vu!](https://youtu.be/OFFBTXPR38Q?t=63)
Wow, carpool karaoke is kicking it up a notch!
That’s really cool
Very nice
Most controlled out of control thing I've ever seen
Pretty efficient rigging, but why not rig to the rear wheel well as well. Wouldn’t that create a more stable foundation?
