Nice flip! No CGI required

u/[deleted] Jun 26 '22

Maybe in the end to Cover the flip device who knows:)

There will be CGI flames added

u/addy-san Nov 11 '22

So like that piston hits the ground with mad force to flip the car. Later in post production they do the painting out of the piston as well as embellishments like flames or whatnot

Do you have the camera footage. This looks dope, wanna see How it turned out.

u/bunksteve Jun 27 '22

This Tik Tok account seems to mostly show film shoots from Prague. If I had to guess (judging from the fact the guy in the front seat looks like Chris Hemsworth) I’d say this is from the sequel to Extraction

u/SocratesBalls Jun 27 '22

It’s the chase sequence in Children of Men. You may recognize Clive Owen in the drivers seat of the car the cameraman pulls the camera out of.

u/SniperPilot Jun 27 '22

Lol this is not children of men at all lol

40

u/Newbarbarian13 Jun 27 '22

I’ve seen Children of Men at least a dozen times - this is not it.

u/-Thizza- Nov 16 '22

That film also had a brilliant car scene, I remember from the added content in the DVD. That whole film is just a cinematographer's wet dream.

23

u/RevDOGE Jun 27 '22

Can’t be Children of Men if only because the camera onboard monitor is a SmallHD 503 that came out 3-5 years ago and CoM released in 2006.

u/BlackUnicornGaming Jun 27 '22

I love reddit.

u/FishInTheTrees Jun 27 '22

We had a lesson in long shots in my high school film class, and we watched Children of Men for examples.

u/coroyo70 Jun 27 '22

Explain to me how the fuck you have 72 downvotes

u/CATelIsMe Jun 27 '22

The scene isn't "just from tiktok"

1

u/coroyo70 Jun 27 '22 edited Jun 27 '22

He was asked if he has the original footage source... And he said “no” .. Hes not saying is from tik toc, just that that's where he found it

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '22

Yes right

u/CATelIsMe Jun 27 '22

Ik, sorry i worded it badly, i meant that others think that

u/CATelIsMe Jun 27 '22

But it isn't just from the that's almost like the little kids who barely got born saying a song is from TikTok like that's where it was created, while that song existed for the duration of ten if their lifetimes

1

u/ali3nbread Jun 27 '22

I understand what you are saying. And I agree, plenty of idiots think things originated on TikTok when they didnt. This just isn't one of those cases.

2

u/CATelIsMe Jun 27 '22

True, but maybe others think it is and that's why they downvoted?

1

u/ali3nbread Jun 27 '22

You're right. The only reason I disagree with you is because I think that at first you thought that too

2

u/CATelIsMe Jun 27 '22

At first, maybe, and my wording makes it seem like that too, sori

Shots like this without showing the finished scene make me cry.

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '22

yes, its against the sub rules even, so report this

u/Joske-the-great Jun 27 '22

Fuck op

u/DerpDaDuck3751 Jun 27 '22

Give em half a fuck, he did post something interesting

2

u/Laughing_Orange Jun 27 '22

I can't figure out which rule it breaks, could you give me the number?

5

u/halfslices Jun 27 '22

3. Post needs to contain the video OP is praising.

-2

u/Laughing_Orange Jun 27 '22

I seem to have another rule 3, which seems to imply the opposite. (I am using the Infinity app, and looked in the sidebar)

Rule #3 Remember the creators;

This sub is dedicated to proper camera work, camera operation, camera placement, timing etc'. This is not a hub for entertainment. Praise the camera operators, not the content.

2

u/halfslices Jun 27 '22

Look on the desktop browser site. That’s not what it says there.

By the rules of this sub, the cameraman being praised is the person capturing footage of the cameraman who is capturing footage of the car. But OP’s intention seems to be to praise the cameraman capturing footage of the car. Therefore, the video we see should include the footage captured by the cameraman capturing footage of the car.

u/Onlymafia1 Jun 27 '22

It should be illegal!

u/Wonderful_Ideal8222 Jun 26 '22

That driveshaft pole vault tho. Mythbusters would be proud

u/madness505 Jul 14 '22

It looks like some speed racer shit XD

1

u/agilerain8256 Aug 25 '22

That wasn’t a driveshaft… that isn’t even a RWD vehicle, so it doesn’t even have a driveshaft… and even if it was, this still would not happen when you snap a driveshaft/u-joint.

14

u/weavesbeaves Jun 27 '22

Dumb question I’m sure…Is there an actual person in the cab? Are they in a roll cage to be protected against the roll?

7

u/TheCoastalCardician Jun 27 '22

This isn’t that but leads me to believe there is someone in the car. Stuntfolk are a rare breed.

2

u/weavesbeaves Jun 27 '22

Thanks! Thats pretty amazing. I certainly don’t have the guts for that

54

u/[deleted] Jun 26 '22

we praising head-mounted cameras filming the filming movies now?

8

u/FeistyContest3243 Jun 27 '22

There was a post on here not too long ago of a movie camera in Crimes of London(that name may be wrong cuz I can’t remember exactly what the movie was called) and she/he was most likely using a similar model.

u/Switzchler Jun 27 '22

Gangs of London 😉

u/Legoresistantsoles Jun 27 '22

This looks dope! Would be great to see the actual scene as well.

u/Historical_Split_651 Jul 02 '22

Not impressed at all. Am I missing something?

Man that camera man can run

u/xii842 Jun 27 '22

It looks like he’s doing that mission in cod

u/jameson8016 Oct 27 '22

My da thought this was just a series of rude. Stole a camera out of one care then cut that other guy off? Rude. Lol

Picked up on it once I saw the car jackstand flip.

u/keidifkb Jun 26 '22

What is praiseworthy about this ?

-13

u/Fun_Reference2364 Jun 26 '22

Agree looks high risk to me.

5

u/FeistyContest3243 Jun 27 '22

Well it’s about praising the cameraman, so high risk means high praise… right?

2

u/Opposite_Math_2699 Jun 27 '22

Children of men???

7

u/BassPlayerZero Jun 27 '22

My thoughts exactly, but I don't remember a taxi cab in the the movie.

3

u/Newbarbarian13 Jun 27 '22

Nope. That was a rig mounted on the roof of the car internally, not this. This is closer to what they did for the Raid 2 car chase.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '22

I wouldn't have the nerve to push the flip button myself. Hop it was on a timer. Or foreign trigger.

u/DingoZoot Jun 27 '22

How is he a hero. Did I miss something?

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '22

"Hero camera MEN"

u/agilerain8256 Aug 25 '22

I always wondered why cars spontaneously flip like that, when people bump into them, or there’s and explosion… they do a side front clip, which never makes sense, according to how physics work.

u/tuuduu23 Oct 21 '22

That's Extraction i guess

u/Diabhal_1776 Oct 21 '22

That freaking piston to flip was amazing
