Vehicle Mounting

Here is what that looks like on the ground. We give car mounting services for shoots across Belgium, supplying camera mounting systems — suction rigs, hard mounts, hostess trays, bonnet and door brackets — and the technicians who install and operate them safely. Car mounting puts the camera on or alongside a moving car to capture driving sequences, dialogue scenes and dynamic tracking shots from the most effective angle. Our crews check each picture car, plan secure rigging points and tether each parts so nothing can come loose at speed, working closely with the camera and grip departments.

Here is how that works. Belgium's dense, different road network gives car-mounted shoots a strong range of looks: urban driving on the ring roads and through the tunnels of Brussels and Antwerp, character-led sequences on the cobbled streets of the historic cities, and scenic routes through the forested Ardennes and along the North Sea coast. Our teams work in Dutch, French and English and set up the safety and logistics of the rig.

Here is how the picture comes together. Car mounting on Belgian roads needs the same permits and planning as the wider car-filming unit. Our team manages them as part of the production plan. Rigged picture cars must meet roadworthiness and safety needs, mounts must be installed so they do not compromise the car or endanger the public, and filming on public roads — with rolling roadblocks or closures — is arranged with regional and city authorities.

Here is what we have to work with. In practice, the work is hands-on. Belgium's mild but frequently wet maritime climate is a practical factor, since rain affects both the security of suction mounts and the look of a driving sequence, and our coordinators plan cover and backup. For mounted shooting through heritage city cores such as the Grand-Place in Brussels or the streets of Bruges, city filming permits apply. The country's deep service-production sector, supported by the Belgian Tax Shelter, means skilled rigging technicians and well-kept mounting inventory are ready for shoots of any scale.
