But sometimes, all you need is a car and a crew.<\/h2>\n<p>As an indie filmmaker, I\u2019ve found that\u00a0using my car as a portable\u00a0stabilizer is incredibly useful. From simple setups to complex angles, cars are a great way to diversify your coverage on a budget in outdoor locations.<\/p>\n<p>The following tips require proper safety preparation. I do not recommend\u00a0using any of these shots unless you\u2019re safe and secure and those around you understand the procedure. There\u2019s no value in the shot if someone gets hurt in the process.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SSrQAERA0Rs?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"through-the-window\">Through the Window<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/window-shot.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-100553 size-full\" title=\"Video Tutorial: How to Use a Vehicle as a Dolly System \u2014 Through Window\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/window-shot.jpg\" alt=\"Video Tutorial: How to Use a Vehicle as a Dolly System \u2014 Through Window\" width=\"755\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/window-shot.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/window-shot.jpg?resize=300,165 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/window-shot.jpg?resize=277,152 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/window-shot.jpg?resize=359,197 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/window-shot.jpg?resize=543,298 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/window-shot.jpg?resize=560,308 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/window-shot.jpg?resize=150,82 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This setup is the\u00a0simplest,\u00a0and it&#8217;s one you\u2019ve probably already used yourself.

This can capture some beautiful slow dolly shots, nice push-ins and even some detailed slider moves. SUVs, trucks, and vans are the best vehicles for capturing this type of footage. (Always make sure you&#8217;re properly strapped in place.)<\/p>\n<p>Similar to filming\u00a0out of the back, you can capture great footage from the side of your car with the sliding door open. I would only recommend you capture this shot with a vehicle that has a sliding door that locks open. This angle can get you some really nice fast paced tracking shots of people, animals, and landscapes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/open-door.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-100557 size-full\" title=\"Video Tutorial: How to Use a Vehicle as a Dolly System \u2014 Open Door\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/open-door.jpg\" alt=\"Video Tutorial: How to Use a Vehicle as a Dolly System \u2014 Open Door\" width=\"755\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/open-door.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/open-door.jpg?resize=300,168 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/open-door.jpg?resize=270,150 270w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/open-door.jpg?resize=277,155 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/open-door.jpg?resize=359,201 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/open-door.jpg?resize=543,304 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/open-door.jpg?resize=560,314 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/open-door.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The key thing to remember is that you don\u2019t always need \u201cfilm gear\u201d to capture a cinematic shot.
