hi there
I'm an independent film maker, who requires a shot of a car towing a classic caravan at night. This is a genuine, if unusual request and I'm happy to pay for the footage and provide the camera to shoot it.
my film is a full length comedy feature film, I've been making it for three years and it is almost finished. We are completing the sound work and I'm now filling in several blanks in the edit - left there to mark where some specific shots will go. I am shooting these now, but there is one I cannot really shoot myself. It is a shot of a classic caravan being towed at night. i want a single continuous shot from inside the vehicle towing the car, looking back on the caravan.
I am based in wakefield West Yorkshire but I don't require this to be done locally, I am happy to post a HD camera with instructions etc and pay for somebody to shoot the shot. It's a handheld camera, easy to operate. I use them for these kind of shots, basically turn it on and press record.
the film features a Mardon classique caravan and I want to mimic that caravan with this shot but the angle will only show part of the caravan, from a fixed angle, therefore the caravan does not have to be the same make and model. A passing resemblance will work.
if anyone is interested please let me know ! My only other alternative is to get a tow bar fitted to my car and then borrow an old caravan and film it myself. I thought I would post this message on here first to see if a caravan owner could help. I am happy to pay, and happy to agree that if you break the camera, it's my own tough look. I have broken three of them myself during making this film and it's not the end of the world.
