top gear

[sweggie]

on this weeks top gear when Clarkson drove to Oslo, how did they film the car going at speed along the roads, motorways etc that were not inside the vehicle. there must have been a heck of a lot of cameras involved? Any ideas

It's done by filming him from another car and cameras inside the car aswell (when you see him talking away). Thought it was very funny the other 2 got stuck in the middle of no where

yes, i appreciate that but what about overhead shots ( obviously helicopter) , a static camera when the car whizzes by and what were they driving for Clarkson to be driving directly into camera. The cameraman must have been well ahead of JC to get those shots surely?

Clarkson says he is driving at 160 mph, he pulls juvenile faces like he is in a candy shop. Well he did not reach those speeds. The camera in another car was tracking him. They were probably doing 80 mph. Most of the shots were edited in. They may have been taken, hours or even days apart. They are all put together to appear as if seamless. Dont believe everything you see especially with wildlife filming (lions chasing wildebeest especially, they are about 25 different lions made to look like one) and lot of staging involved.

Top Gear is rapidly becoming a bore, with these pointless �lets see who can get there the quickest� stories. Who cares? It is supposed to be a motoring magazine, not an excuse for Clarkson to show off to everyone that he can smugly drive a Ferrari across Europe. �Oh look at me everyone. I get to drive all these posh cars which you peasants can only dream about. Aren�t I the big cheese�.

You may think your'e a big cheese Jezza, but the plain and simple truth is you are a tw&t.
