Car Filming Services

Here is how this works in practice. We deliver car filming as a set up pro operation, supplying camera tracking cars, low-loaders and process trailers, picture-car rigging and the crews to run them. Our teams build car-mounted camera set-ups — bonnet, door, suspension and interior rigs — and operate tracking cars that match a picture car's pace safely on Icelandic roads. The country's roads shape the planning: the Ring Road circles the island through fast-changing weather, while the Highland F-roads are unpaved, summer-only routes that demand 4x4 super-jeeps and modified cars, and our crews plan picture-car and tracking logistics to match.

Here is the short of it. Cold and weather affect everything — rig trust, road surface, visibility — so we plan cold-weather handling, weather backup and crew safety into each shooting day. We set up road-use permissions and, where a sequence needs it, traffic running, working with the production to keep schedules realistic. We staff from the skilled Reykjavík crew base and bring in extra tracking cars, process trailers and rigging pros from the UK and mainland Europe for larger shoots.

Here is the breakdown. Iceland is a powerful setting for driving sequences. The Ring Road runs the full circumference of the island past glaciers, lava fields and coastline, and shoots including 'The Fate of the Furious'. This staged its ice sequence on Lake Mývatn, have used the country for car action. Driving is on the right. The dramatic Highlands, reachable only in summer via F-roads, give remote, otherworldly backdrops but need modified cars and careful logistics. The fast-changing subarctic weather is a genuine production factor for any driving shot.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. The fragile environment, where moss and lava recover only over decades, makes it key to keep cars to set up roads and tracks — off-road driving is prohibited and filming in covered areas is set up with the Environment Agency of the country. Eligible crew and gear spend can count toward the country's production reimbursement of 25 per cent, rising to 35 per cent for qualifying projects, administered by Film in the country.
