Car Filming Services

Here is what that looks like on the ground. We deliver car filming from a crew and gear base in Jakarta and Bali, supplying the tracking cars, camera cars, process trailers, rigs and precision drivers that car sequences demand. Our teams mount cameras to cars with suction and hard-mount rigs, run tracking-car pursuits for moving shots, and use process trailers and low-loaders so actors can perform while a car is towed and the camera works free of driving distraction.

Here is how the picture comes together. We set up stunt and precision drivers. We manage the road permits, escorts and traffic control that filming on Indonesian roads needs. Indonesia's tropical climate shapes the work, so rigs are weatherproofed against sudden downpours, electronics are covered from humidity, and schedules account for heat and changeable conditions. Driving in Indonesia is on the left, which our teams plan into each camera-car choreography.

Here is what we have to work with. For sequences in Bali, Yogyakarta or beyond, we supplement the core unit with local drivers and fixers who know regional roads, traffic patterns and the practicalities of securing routes for a shoot. Indonesia gives a wide range of driving environments for car sequences. Jakarta, the megacity capital of a nation of around 280 million people, is known for dense, characterful traffic that suits gritty urban driving scenes. Bali adds coastal roads and rice-terrace backdrops. Java's highways link volcanic landscapes including the ways to Mount Bromo.

Here is the layout. The Jakarta-shot action heritage behind Gareth Evans's 'The Raid' and 'The Raid 2' has built a local pool of crew skilled in physical, car-based action work. Driving is on the left. Road filming needs permits, traffic management and planning with local authorities, all of which our team handles. Foreign shoots need filming permits. ATA carnets are accepted for incoming camera-car rigs and mounting gear. English is widely used in the film-services sector, above all in Bali, so global crews set up car work easily with local drivers. The dry season, roughly April or May to September or October, gives the most reliable conditions for exterior car sequences.
