So my friend Steven wanted some help building his rig so I obliged. After we finished, we decided to take some quick shots (yes I know rig shots are played). Here are the results:







The photos were taken by Steven Pham the editing was done by myself.

Pretty cool pics! Any shots of the rig?

 

You have inspired me to stop procrastinating and create my own auto rigging. Curious if this was a single car rig or shot with a chase car (w/ rigging)? Not sure, but I think I spy a little blurring from clone tool or patch repair in the reflections off the hood of the red VW shot. So leaning towards a single car rigging setup with post-processing to remove the car rig mast.

 

Chad, here you go here is a behind the scene shot:




Renaissance.Man: glad to hear! This was a single rig shot attached to the car being photographed. Oddly, I did not touch the hood in the VW shot. That photo doesn't have much photoshopping. The porsche on the other hand I did a considerable amount of photoshopping to get rid of this horrible street light glare and to brighten up the front. If you have any questions let me know.

 

Cool -great job on photoshopping then. I like your cable suspension rigging design. With the limited pipe diameter and low weight requirements, it is common for rigs to bend under its own weight. Looks like that cable should cleverly solve that issue.

I already ordered a Manfrotto Magic Arm, a couple of pump-actuated suction cups, and several Manfrotto superclamps.

If you have any more images of your rig cabling or any other links for similar designs, please shoot me a PM.

Thanks!
