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!

When someone from MythBusters says they're about to demo something, I'm not sure if they mean demonstrate or demolish.

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.
Get Scott in for some metal shop 1 day builds!

I know its not really Jamie's thing, but please don't lose him from tested now that Mythbusters is over. A lot of tested loves the bigger builds and engineering, Jamie's thing.... We would love to see more in any format that makes him happiest! We love engineering and big builds, Jamie! :)
I'm a simple man. I see Jamie on Tested, I press like.

So glad to see Jamie on Tested again!
love the sunset at the end, nice timing, good job guys
Great video, plus I'm glad that Jamie is still with Tested
Few comments for such great rig! Left everyone speachless
I saw this rig on the final episode and thought, Wow! How neat is that! Would love to see more on the tools used for the production of mythbusters.
Glad to see Jamie back in a video!!
It's so rare and fun at the same time to see Jamie for once. I usually don't click like, but did it this time. Hope will be on more.
The video quality from that camera is pretty awesome.
Rip mythbusters. thanks Jamie and Adam for a great, memorable show
That Ursa footage was gorgeous... Amazing camera!
will's bike is freakin awesome!!!
I love that this channel can be a behind the scenes of MythBusters.
Scott is such a cool guy
Love your work on Mythbusters not going lie when watching the show i love to see how the mith was done or made but i always wanted to see more behind the seans as well
This is what this channel needs!
love the color grade!
Beautiful shots
Yeeeeeah Jamie Video!!! A delight, absolute Engineering gem
Nice rig, also the color grading is super nice on this one !
more videos like this please. great stuff.
these are really gorgeous shot and engineering, i feel like it as to be more smoth on the rise but that may be cause it was norm first time and he could use some more training :p really nice and thanks for 14 years of mythbuster !
Impressive rig, thanks for sharing. Also - Jamie!!
Seeing Jamie do a Tested video is like catching a glimpse of the great white walrus.
This is great! That vibration shock absorber solution is just so elegant!!

Sadly it doesnt seem to work very well as they added a huge amount of warp stabillizer in post production which gives a really weird look.
I'm drooling over that camera
So cool to see Jamie again!
omg LOVE these videos!
I love the infrequent Jamie approved/intro'd videos!
2:50 - that lamp shot by his hand? nice one! :D
yay Jamie videos. We need more Jamie
Wow, that is surprisingly great
And here I felt cool when I strapped my FS100 to the hood of my car. This is a kickass rig.
This is incredible. I can’t believe that’s a thing.
For a second there I thought they were gonna blow up the custom chase car when Jamie said "We're about to demo it".
THAT'S THE CAMERA I WANT. I JUST GOT SO EXCITED.
i luvs yous guys! ty for sharing!
Awesome!
This is a pretty cool setup! The ronin on the vibro plate is a great idea to smooth bums while driving.
If you have a shop you can build anything... jealous :P Really some nice shots you guys got with that camera rig!
Sick!!
Love the bullet hole in the right tail light. +1
So lucky.. that’s a very dope car rig
wow this awesome!
I get these every morning about 8 😀 I thought this show had finished.
Nice rig!
Thanks!
From 9.06 it is so smooth it almost looks animated! Maybe it is the lack of shadows?
Need more Mythbusters behind the scenes by Tested :D
that camera on the rig is such a nice camera

*yeah i was kind of wondering what would happen with all of the items created by the show too now. it's heartbreaking that it's over but i'm hoping to see more of everyone in the near future unless they are too well off after doing the show to want to do much of anything else*
"Precise control" 7:55, and that warping, omg...

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
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?
"We're about to Demo it".... aaaaaaand the show is done!
Great Video! You guys should take a look at what ty Evans did with the shotover rig on his car. That thing is amazing
I love how much the crews rig resembles something that would come straight out of Jamie's shop! Instead of something that came out of hollywood! :D
Passing on double lines! Your citation will be mailed to you ;) Kidding aside, those guys did great work on that vehicle.
Jamie nice to see you again.
12 oclock upload.... yup
Awesome..Reminds me of a skid loader hydraulic forks setup
Gud jawb, Norm!
7:15 went to the bike shop and said "I want really low, flaccid looking handlebars.... but do you have any with such a huge stem that they sit even higher than the stock bars? 'Cause I want everybody to know I have trouble making decisions."
good job
Awesome
When they said "Will" I thought it was Will from Tested riding the bike.... which would have TOTALLY redeemed all the sh*t I've said about Will in the past. But it's not... so the sh*t stands.
Hell of a backup camera
Can't believe Adam called this a Caprice in the last episode... but then again they've killed so many Crown Vics on the show he's probably numb to them.
MORE STUFF LIKE THIS!
More videos with Jamie please
This guy has balls of steel. I mean...he LET Norm touch it...
Nice video upload
Long Live MythBusters!
nice rig.
And a P71 is one of the few vehicles out there with a trunk huge enough to hold all that sh*t with room to spare.
"it's basically the world's most advanced back up cam right now" hahah
A wild Jamie appears!
As a TV technician, I do have a nerdgasm watching this.

It's pretty cool how they just using it in public filming the motorcycle shot and everyone is all like whoaaaaa
Such a sick rig really impressive. I wonder how smooth that initial movement of the lift is, I would have thought that would have been quite difficult to achieve, but I couldn't see any sudden bite in the footage.

+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.
Helo tis is THE best video
NiiiCE!!!
what kind of editing was done to the final shot? it looks like a little bit of warp stabilization
Those rolling shots turned out fantastic. Any chance of those being uploaded in 4K for my consumption and drooling? Please?
We need a chase car !Meh, give me 1 hour. 1 hour later, he come with a police car and the camera rig attached to it :Here you have your chase car
so a camera crew filming a camera crew? thats deep
I miss Mythbusters soo much 😭😭😭
That first shot hey filmed reminded me of Terminator II
Awesome video where can I buy that plate that’s attached to the Ronin
I would personally buy this like they should sell this it would make filming tracking shots way easier
7:56 Notice the hesitation. That may have been a foot foul up but it is the kind of motion that I expect from air power. Love air power for many things but for motion that you need fine control of, not such a fan.
is it just me or does that license plate translate to The Jato?

Anyone know what lens they were using on the Ursa?
So will Jamie do more videos?
No lens motors? How do they control the focus and iris?
I miss Mythbusters man!!!
