Pan & crop right?

yES gREAt FUN...

Hows it done....

Gotta have a GO.... I reckon the wheel Brace Handle was attached to a welded bit of Metal on the roof And cable run all the way around and under the Brace to a Truck in front and out of Sight which Pulled away pulled the Car over... theN the Dummy driver was replaced....

Mark! You got it in one .. .

Should have Used the wire removal tool for the Uuum Wire.... The Clone tool For the welded bit on the roof... and been a tad more accurate with the Dummy/real person change... Then I/we may have suspected but not been able to prove.. Would never guess at First viewing though !

GREAT FUN !

Grazie Is there a Link to there Website would like to have a look around...

Always strikes me as funny how the first thing we look for is a way to do it in post when most of the truly great work is done as a practical.
The other technique, although probably not applicable here, is optical effects, there's some amazing lens gizmos out there, only downside is most of them don't fit video cameras although I think I've seen split focus lenses that will.

Bob please tell me you weren't serious, "Always strikes me as funny . .. " . .I wanted an excuse to share this with y'all . . . . . Now That IS funny .. .

Grazie

apit34356 . .Arrghhh . . . stop it ! STOP IT ! . .

I can't tell you how many times I've seen this happen here in San Francisco. Whenever you are parked over the cable car lines you have to very, very carefull that you don't let tie-down straps dangle.

Of course, usually the lift gate will stop the truck from going all the way over...

(seriously, I have heard of one instance were a road box got hung up and went rumbling away)

I've seen the gizmo...you attach a cable to an outrigger on the camera and then wind up the spring. Hit the release and WHAMMO! The camera does a 180 degree roll.

Then on a second camera you shoot the pit crew...

That's just the cordless drill. I bought my old dad the corded model a few years ago. We're still waiting for him to come down out of orbit.

Funny video, Being a former auto tech it rings home, come accross some very powerfull impacts in my day too.
I submitted what I thought the first take went like of this video to chienworks site. Dont know if he can post it though being a rudux of a comercial. Anyway if he does it will be titled grazie redux.

Thanks for the laughs and the inspired fun I had with it, Graz !!

My guess ?

3 Shots....

- first one is the normal beginning where the 2 pit crew are against blue screen in foreground. Car is a real car shot separately on set. Then the background plate.

- second shot...the flip ...is all the same elements except the middle element of the car. Replaced with a CGI car flipping over. Much safer and more efficient.

- third shot...the flipped over car.. Might be practical, might be CGI. I would vote CGI for budgeting.

- morph between shots one and two and two and three.

- add in the lift jack getting smashed and the crushing of the rear end in cgi.

- film element of driver in car separately and flip element upside down, and composite into car window.

....my 25cents worth

My three cents, they used two chains/cables, one on bumper(tight), one around axle, a little loose, secured to a point under the bumper/axle,(ground bolt). Used air jack/piston on the front end to launch car. The radius of the flip,(notice the "tightness" of the flip), suggest center pt beneath the rear bumper. You can see the trees thru the car windows as it flips. Note the car and crew are on a slope piece of concrete. Actual shooting a small car flipping was probably cheaper than a commercial CGI rendering.
