Often when we have all the cameras rigged up, we are called out by people on the street, to be the Google car, and often we reply no we are the Samsung car, or some other derivation of some other to mix things up. Rigging cameras is not easy feat, and with 4K and 8K cameras, we take the time to secure cameras with safety straps. Our driving plate rig is flexible and we can achieve custom angles and heights to meet production needs.

What is a driving array plate? Well it is the moving scenery seen through the windows of a vehicle when the actors of a television show or film are driving somewhere. Also know as process plates, car plates, or vehicle plates. Moving points of view (POV) shot simultaneously from multiple angles: front, back, sides and reflection plate, but also the 3/4 angles from the left front, right front, left back and right back of the car. Reflection plates capture footage of the sky and objects overhead, as it would be reflected back on the automobile's hood and windshield, add the final realistic touch to a scene. The driving array plates footage are much longer than typical stock footage clips, with average lengths of 2-3 minutes, allowing for greater flexibility when editing to capture those perfect frames for your production.  
 
VFX artists to make the driving plates footage come to life, first, they key out the green screen, then VFX artists composite driving plates and vehicle footage into a single, seamless composition. Production teams opt to film driving scenes in a studio and comp in footage outside the windows. Due to the high cost of location shooting, driving plates can save the studios tens of thousands of dollars per day.  
 
The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, 
And sorry I could not travel both 
And be one traveler, long I stood 
And looked down one as far as I could 
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 
Then took the other, as just as fair, 
And having perhaps the better claim, 
Because it was grassy and wanted wear; 
Though as for that the passing there 
Had worn them really about the same, 
And both that morning equally lay 
In leaves no step had trodden black. 
Oh, I kept the first for another day! 
Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 
I doubted if I should ever come back. 
I shall be telling this with a sigh 
Somewhere ages and ages hence: 
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I? 
I took the one less traveled by, 
And that has made all the difference.
