🎬 A Smarter, More Cinematic Way to Shoot Driving Scenes

Filming realistic car scenes shouldn't drain your budget or eat up your schedule.

At Rear Projection Driving, we replace expensive process trailers, frustrating green screen workflows, and high-maintenance LED Wall volumes with a streamlined in-camera visual effects (ICVFX) solution.

Shoot stunning, controllable driving scenes in-studio, with no street closures, no permits, no green spill—and no surprises in post.

🚫 The True Cost of a Process Trailer Shoot

Most producers don’t realize how much it really costs to shoot with a process trailer. Here’s the breakdown:

• Process trailer: $3,000–$5,000 per day

• Tow vehicle & driver: $1,500+

• Police escort: $1,000–$2,000

• Street permits: $500–$1,500

• Insurance & safety rigging: Costly and time-consuming

• Weather or traffic delays: Risk of reset and lost time

That’s $10,000 or more per day, with no room for flexibility.

💸 Green Screen Has Hidden Costs

Green screen setups might seem cheaper but post-production says otherwise. Common issues include:

• Green spill on actors and reflective surfaces

• Unnatural lighting and reflections

• Disconnected performances (actors can’t “see” the world)

• Heavy VFX lifting in post: rotoscoping, compositing, lighting fixes

• Delays and overages that kill your schedule

📹LED Wall Volumes: What You Need to Know

• Too dang expensive!
  LED wall stages can cost $10,000–$30,000+ per day, not including setup (more money) LED techs (more money), calibration (more money)
  Rear Projection Driving offers a fraction of the cost, with all-in pricing, 4K plates included, and MUCH fewer crew needed.

• No Moiré Patterns
  Rear projection uses smooth optical screens, not pixelated LED panels—so you’ll never get distracting moire effects or scan lines on camera, even with tight lensing or shallow depth of field.

• No Flicker or Banding
  LED walls can introduce camera flicker, color banding, or ghosting depending on your shutter angle and sensor. Rear projection uses continuous light from projectors, giving you clean, consistent frames.

• Faster Setup and Turnaround
  Rear projection is plug-and-play. No multi-hour LED mapping, no Unreal Engine pipelines, no complicated rendering environments.
  You walk in, drive the scene, and walk out with the shot in the can!

• Easier on Camera Sensors
  Some high-resolution sensors (ARRI, RED, Sony Venice) struggle with high-frequency LED patterns. Rear projection is camera-safe at all resolutions and frame rates.

• Available Now. No Waitlists. No Hype.
  LED volumes are often overbooked, overpriced, and underdelivering for simple car scenes. Rear Projection Driving is ready when you are.
