A test drive for the Ages
Here’s the set-up: for the launch of the new 508 model, customers were treated to a one-of-a-kind test drive. During the drive, the driver would enjoy live music, played by a musician who tailored their rhythm and melody to the scenery. So the driver would be listening in the car, without being in the know of what’s going on.
The technical
backbone
A strong backbone is everything, which is why CK Productions teamed up with Eurolinx for the wireless connections and with Videohouse for the facilities. During the drive, we had five cameras connected through a relay plane, and live editing. We rented a Russian Arm from Filmotechnic, which allowed us to capture the car in all its glory.
We love a Good Challenge
Maintaining a connection over a long distance was the true feat of this project. A car driving through miles and miles of woods for 40 minutes, countless signals that needed managing – from audio return to intercom, video and shading… the amount of technical strategy and planning that went into this project was like music to our ears!
But Wait,
there’s an Encore…
In addition to live production, we also shot an EFP for a promo video. We set up an Alexa Mini on the Russian Arm, for which we also provided remote shading.
