Unlock the secrets of one of filmmaking’s most dynamic tools with our premium virtual masterclass, presented in collaboration with Filmotechnic. Buckle up as we go into overdrive, exploring the world of camera cars in a way that has never been done before.

For filmmakers new to camera and arm cars, you’ll gain the confidence necessary to understand the systems, roles, procedures, and etiquette. Experienced filmmakers will appreciate a look “under the hood” of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo featuring the U-CRANE 6 Arm and how it performs.

In this masterclass, we begin with the history of arm cars and why filmmakers rely on them for capturing high-octane sequences along with an overview of various crane moves and how their mobile base enhances creative possibilities.

Invaluable insights and instruction come from industry experts such as Shane Hurlbut, ASC (DP), Chris Moseley (A-Camera Operator), Darin Necessary (A-Cam 1st AC), Kevin Descheemaeker (Crane Arm Operator), and Chris Barrett (Precision Stunt Driver).

Discover how to determine the ideal arm length, select optimal f-stops for action sequences, choose the ideal lenses, identify the best shooting times, and craft immersive shots that captivate audiences.

Go inside the arm car as we showcase the perspectives of the driver, crane operator, 1st AC, and camera operator. All the while, we dive into the intricacies of inside-the-car communication, etiquette, and operational procedures to ensure seamless collaboration on set.
