SCENE 01 / SPECIALTY RIGS

Specialty Camera Rigs

Advanced rigging solutions for your French production.

Scroll

Here is how this works in practice. Specialty rigs are purpose-built car platforms designed for mounting cameras and capturing dynamic driving, chase, and motion sequences. From Russian arms and camera cars to process trailers and insert cars, these rigs enable complex moving shots that would be impossible with standard gear.

Here is the short of it. We source specialty camera rigs and cars from skilled local operators who know the safety and tech needs of car-mounted filming. Our team sets up rig availability, tech specs, and logistics to make sure your unit can capture dynamic vehicular sequences safely and efficiently.

On Location

Specialty camera rigs and vehicle mounts across France

Here is how this works in practice. Specialty rig work in France mostly means chasing performance through landscapes that demand a very specific sites — a Russian arm tracking a hero car along the Côte d'Azur corniche, a pursuit arm picking up a chase sequence through Lyon's Vieux quartier, a process trailer staged on a quiet stretch of A6 highway outside Paris. We set up Russian arms, pursuit arms, complete chase-car setups, cable cam and wire cam systems, and motion control rigs through TSF, RVZ, and pro regional operators, with each rig tied to the actual camera and remote head your DP has chosen.

Here is the short of it. Each buy-in is shaped around the safety envelope first. French rules on filming from moving cars, road closure permits for stunt sequences in Marseille or Bordeaux, and risk assessment for cable-cam spans across Provence venues all get worked out before the rig hits the location. Custom mounting options for POV cameras, crash housings, and motion-control programmable heads are designed by our grip and rigging team when standard kit will not deliver the shot. You will receive a permitted, fully insured, safety-planned specialty rig delivered with skilled French operators and on-call support across the shoot.
