Vehicle Mounting

Here is what that looks like on the ground. We give car mounting and qualified rigging crews from a base in Jakarta and Bali, supplying the suction mounts, hard mounts, hostess trays, speed rails and stabilised heads that fix cameras safely to moving cars. Our teams rig cameras to cars, motorbikes, boats and pro cars, calculating load, securing each mount with redundant safety attachment, and positioning cameras for dynamic driving and tracking shots. We work with car coordinators and precision drivers to choreograph moves. We manage the permits and traffic control that road filming needs.

Here is how the picture comes together. Indonesia's tropical climate shapes each rig, so mounts and electronics are weatherproofed against sudden downpours and salt spray on boat-based shoots, and hardware is inspected for corrosion in humid conditions. Driving in Indonesia is on the left. This our crews plan into mounting positions and camera-car choreography. For shoots reaching Bali, Komodo or remote islands, we build transport-efficient mounting packages that travel by road, flight and boat, supplementing the core team with local crew who know regional conditions. Indonesia gives a wide range of environments for car-mounted work.

Here is what we have to work with. Jakarta, the megacity capital of a nation of around 280 million people, gives dense, characterful traffic for urban driving sequences. Bali adds coastal roads and rice-terrace backdrops. The open highways of Java link volcanic landscapes including the ways to Mount Bromo. As the world's largest archipelago, Indonesia also makes boat-mounted camera work key, with vessels carrying cameras across the waters of Komodo National Park and around Raja Ampat. The Jakarta-shot action heritage behind Gareth Evans's 'The Raid' films has built crews skilled in physical, car-based action work.

Here is the layout. 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, and ATA carnets are accepted for incoming mounting and rigging gear. English is widely used in the film-services sector, above all in Bali, so global crews set up car mounting easily with local teams.
