The shoot
A press reel is footage for journalists and TV newsrooms: driving scenes that media cut freely into their own reports. It has to show the vehicle clearly and be easy to edit – without the music and storytelling of a commercial. The trailer tells the story, the press reel supplies the building blocks, and both came from the same shoot.
Hairpins, reservoirs and 3,000-metre peaks make a large MPV look confident. In October, light and weather change fast in the Alps, so car, position and camera move were agreed with the driving team before every run.
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
