Build the shot list
From the silhouette
to the smallest detail.
Wheels & materials.
Plan tyre, wheel, badge and bodywork details alongside the full-car views. Keep the lighting consistent with your campaign.
Lines & reflections.
Bring reference images for highlights and paint finish. Allow time to refine reflections across curved panels, glass and chrome.
Interior & controls.
Allow a separate setup for the cabin, dashboard and trim. Confirm which features need a close-up and where the final images will appear.
Detail photographs illustrate shot-list ideas. Studio archive photographs above show productions at Cineview.
Before the vehicle arrives
Preparation shows
in every reflection.
Schedule cleaning and detailing before the first setup. Bring suitable cloths and the products your vehicle team recommends, then allow time to check glass, wheels, badges and visible interior surfaces.
Vehicle dimensions: send length, width and height, including mirrors or fitted accessories, so access and positioning can be discussed.
Arrival plan: agree delivery, drivers, load-in and the time needed to place the vehicle safely before lighting begins.
Floor protection: discuss tyres, cleaning and protection for the studio floor as part of your production plan.
Use the studio time well
Plan the angles.
Give lighting time.
Bring your photographer, lighting team and reference frames. Start with the main vehicle position, then work through front, rear, profile and three-quarter views before changing the setup for interiors or details.
Share the campaign formats, crew size and equipment requirements when enquiring. Studio hire does not automatically include a photographer, vehicle, detailing team or a complete production service; any additional equipment or support is agreed in your quote.
Prepare the production
A clear plan.
A smoother vehicle shoot.
02. Share the look.
Discuss your planned look and background requirements. Moodboards, reference images and shot lists are optional. Agree cove preparation, blackout or green-screen requirements and any set changes in advance.
03. Allow working time.
Include delivery, positioning, cleaning, pre-light, photography and pack-down. Book enough time to reset the vehicle and lighting between angles.
