For the world premiere of the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class on 23 February 2021, schwäble + wolf shot the trailer in the Allgäu – around Oberstdorf and on the Riedberg Pass, Germany’s highest pass road. JRJR was on set.

The shoot

The C-Class is Mercedes-Benz’s volume model, so the stage was big: bends on the Riedberg Pass, autumn colours and mountains as the backdrop.

The shoot ran under Covid rules with testing for the whole crew. Pass road, light and traffic left only tight windows, so every run was coordinated between driving team, ground camera and drone.

How JRJR supports automotive productions

JRJR was founded by Jan Radt and Jochen Riehm. On productions like this, we bring the two of us and our network around the car:

• Direction and camera
• Car-to-car filming – on schwäble + wolf productions often alongside a Filmotechnic U-Crane
• Precision drivers who hit marks and speeds take after take
• Car prep that keeps every car camera-ready
• Drone and FPV for aerial and close dynamic shots
