Oh, Now I See How They Do It!

Ever wonder how they got a lot of driving sequence shots? Me too, but now we see how it’s done. This is called a ‘Process Trailer’. When the platforms on each side of the car are let down, the rig is 15 feet wide, but with them up, it’s the width of a normal trailer. Next time you see a driving scene in an older production, look to see where the center lane marks are in the background. Process trailers are still in use, but these days there are a lot of very clever car mounted rigs.
