The shoot

The Swabian Jura offers what driving shots need: wide landscapes and sweeping roads, close to Stuttgart.

Calm camera moves and precise lines only work if driver and camera share the same choreography. That is why driving line, speed and camera move are agreed before every take – the core of precision driving.

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
