Filming MythBusters with a Custom Chase Car Camera Rig

Ғылым және технология

For the MythBusters series finale, the incredible wedge truck drive through 14 years of props was filmed with a unique piece of custom camera gear. MythBusters' Director of Photography Scott Sorensen built a motion-controlled camera rig onto the back of an old police car, effectively turning it into a camera chase car! We go for a test drive and learn how the rig works with both custom and off-the-shelf technology.
Thanks to MythBusters Director of Photography Scott Sorensen for sharing with us his camera car rig!

    Yes, amazing to see Jamie in a "Jamie and Adam's" Tested video. ...even if it was only for literally about 10 seconds. I think Jamie's name is only associated with it for vanity reasons anyway. At this point they may as well just rename the show.

    He was talking about the air. Don't take it out of context. And for air, there is precise control, it's a solenoid valve. they tell it go, it goes, they tell it stop, it stops, it's pretty much instant Edit: Looking at the shot again, he went too fast and stopped midway. Then restarted. That's something to expect with fast moving gear that he has no experience with. And for a demo like this, there's no real point in reshooting it

  • @gpschilling
    @gpschilling8 жыл бұрын

    I love this !! Looks like the vertical movement is a little "jerky", guessing that is the way the pedal handles the air compressor ie. no smooth lead in/lead out? Also, just curious, I assume you have to have a set point of focus before you roll, like 8 feet out or something, since you have no remote focus/iris control, yes? Finally, minus the camera and Ronin, what is your guesstimate on the cost to build such a rig?

    +kingoginge The upwards movement didn't look very smooth to me, viewed 3rd person or through the camera. The first thing I thought when they said it used a pneumatic cylinder instead of hydraulic, was that it would be very hard to get it perfectly smooth, and sure enough, it was not.
