Last day of the adventure: track day!
Got to put this turbo diesel bimmer through its paces, dancing with some exotics.

Had a few spots open up today. Unfortunate for us not getting to work with some new talent, but great for you if you’re looking to build some skills sooner than later!

Thursday and Friday (6/27-6/28): Metro Camera Cars will have the Arm Car built for some show-n-tell.

For those who haven't had a chance to check out some of our gear, come by the shop and we'll chat about the possibilities.

Trying to make sure everyone gets some quality time to chat and maybe take a ride, so text/email/pm me so we have a general sense of who and when.

Rumor is we'll be grilling up some burgers and dogs... just a thing I heard.

BTS from the Remote Camera Operator Workshop 🎥🏎💪
DM for details and to book a spot.
Don’t learn on set! Come get reps in the Camera Car on a closed course in a safe and collaborative work environment. The skills you’ll be building here will translate to any other remote / hot head work... and you’ll walk away with some footage to scrutinize and use however you need ;)
Operators: @willsvideo @steadical @littlemadd

Big thanks to @mike_lapp and @eightfoldcollective for coordinating and hosting our introductory event for Detroit. We had over 100 guests between the demos and after party. 50 of those good folks hopped in the camera car for demos, either operating or observing, while shooting our picture car driver @nolanbaltz in his little white subi. Nolan also printed up a sexy rear window decal. We had a great time meeting the local film community. We’ll be back in about a week for some commercial work, so please feel free to reach out to see the rig or talk shop. @ Eightfold Creative

Public (ish) speaking alert!
Joe from Metro on @stuntpod trying to not mix up his words and make sense. This is an awesome platform for getting to know the folks behind the action.
They have other guests that aren’t this terrible... I promise!

Our first “Remote camera operator workshop” was a blast.

@steadical and @willsvideo crushed it on the wheels and were super creative in the first two slots of the day. Having @johnfloresca there assisting the ops was invaluable.
@littlemadd came in for the 3rd and final slot of the workshop, and the faster we went the better she got! (Not in group photo sadly)
*To book a slot and get your reps in, contact Joe - [email protected] (or DM is fine)*

Thanks to our stunt drivers @andredasilvanyc @benrezendes , and to @tophermazz of @timeshiftproductions for helping us organize and navigate the location, and @andrewpeister for being boots on the ground. @derbeck01 helped shoot some BTS, coming soon.

Lauv & @troyesivan dropped a little love-day groove that we were fortunate enough to bring the camera car out for. ARRI #sr3 and #super16 from Kodak Motion Picture Film swinging from the MotoCrane LLC performed flawlessly!

BTS with our camera buggy arm car.

We rigged our Motocrane Classic and Ronin2 to an Offroad buggy for shooting on loose surfaces. Getting sticks, a high hat, dolly, or a jib in the marsh wasn't an option. The entire scene was shot on our camera buggy, which was provided by Ryders Alley.

New music video for Stro !!
Label: Mass Appeal
Director: @charlesmn
DP/Op: @ed__herrera
AC: @mrmarcoandre
Camera Car Driver: @joeybwhoelse
Motocrane Arm Op: @andfurthermoore
Visit Stro and Mass Appeal Records to find links for the full video.
A little experimenting and collaboration for ya!
Stro drove the X5 with the operators hidden in the back/trunk while the Metro Fit led and blocked.
Then the Motocrane goes back onto the Fit for some ‘running footage’ through Bushwick and the intro (video clip above).
2nd post with some BtS shots in another post to follow.
