July 26, 20187 yr I’ve never seen that before, but it’s pretty ingenious. It lets the actor act without the distraction of driving during road scenes, because the dude up top is actually driving. Probably reduces the need for a stunt driver greatly. Edited July 26, 20187 yr by Vito Andolini

Well, that actually makes better sense than what I thought it meant: That it was a scene for a dune buggy being filmed, but they had the car driving for them...
July 26, 20187 yr Better than how they filmed the car scenes in Justified, all crappy 80s green screen style.

July 27, 20187 yr Interesting. They used to use (some companies may still use) a camera car. The actors would be in a car attached to a car pulling it. It looks like this apparatus offers advantages for camera and lighting in addition to having the control of the car remaining with the vehicle. That's a light in front of the driver side windshield. I wouldn't want to take a hard fast turn in that thing.
July 27, 20187 yr They used to just put the car on a low to the ground flat trailer and pull it. Seems that would be a lot easier and less costly plus you have room for cameras and lights on that trailer as well.

July 30, 20187 yr In a spin off of tv production work, Tyrese is a musician that is having a spat with the Rock over the spin off of the Fast franchise:
