Vehicle Mounting

Here is how this works in practice. We deliver vehicle mounting as a expert rigging service, crewed from our Belgrade base with technicians skilled in safely fixing cameras to moving vehicles. Our team fits hard mounts, suction-cup rigs, hostess trays, door and bonnet mounts, and full process trailers to picture cars, matching the rig to the shot the DP needs. We calculate load, vibration and the safe envelope for every mount, and we plan camera positions so the rig stays clear of the action and out of frame in reverse angles.

Here is the short of it. For interior dialogue scenes we rig low-vibration mounts and process trailers that let actors perform without driving; for exterior coverage we mount cameras for tracking, side and pursuit shots. We set up vehicle mounting with the camera-car, gimbal and aerial units so an automotive sequence cuts together cleanly, and we run safety checks before every move. Mounts, rigs and process trailers come through our Belgrade base, with expert hardware supplemented from the wider region for major productions.

Here is the breakdown. Serbia gives vehicle-mount productions a strong range of driving environments within reach of the capital. Belgrade offers dense city streets, the bridges over the Sava and Danube and the broad boulevards of New Belgrade, and the city doubles convincingly for other European capitals. Beyond it, the highways of Vojvodina, the winding mountain roads of Tara. Zlatibor and Kopaonik and quiet rural routes give variety for tracking and travelling shots. Driving is on the right. This our riggers account for when planning mount positions and pursuit coverage.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. The temperate inland climate brings four distinct seasons, so a sequence can be planned for dry summer roads or winter conditions. Our coordinators handle road permits, traffic running and police escort where street rigging needs it. ATA carnets cover temporary import of expert mounting hardware a production brings. English is widely spoken across the local crew base. The cash rebate through the Film in Serbia programme of the Serbia Film Commission keeps a fully rigged vehicle unit cost-good.
