Alternatively, you can use a conventional tripod set on the floor of a car, so long as you make sure it doesn't move during filming. Working with your zoom lens in the wide angle position, you can film the driver from the rear seat. It is always best to use a cable release. Also, to prevent over exposure, you will have to override the automatic controls and set the aperture manually.

Dear Friend....Happy New Year
Just wanted to tell you about www.filmaka.com - a new website ,an online competition where you can submit your short films, videos, commercials, animations, video art...and much, much more!
Its a biweekly contest based on a particular theme.Make a film not more than 3 minutes.First 15 winners would get a $500 cash prize and $1000 for a follow up film plus also can win a Feature film contract with Hollywood filmmakers.
Filmaka launched it's first contest 'Stuck in Traffic' which ended on Dec. 29th 2006. It was a huge success.Film Makers responded from all over the world giving us their unique, creative voice on the subject matter. 76 unique short films were submitted from film makers around the world in different languages.
It's a win/win situation.
This could be great exposure for you and your films/videos... plus, a chance to get selected by the jury from Hollywood to make a film with them.
Please Note that membership is free for film students all over the world. :gjob:
Wishes to Involve with us and through us.

I should have shot this clip from inside the vehicle - if I had been inside I would have prevented my leg from being crushed. You can watch the clip here - http://www.holidaytips.com.au/index.php/archive/mitch-nash-on-holidaytipscomau/
This is so important. A shaky in-car-camera can make a film look so tacky and some what disorientating for the auidence, but get it right and it can look superb and most of all, professional.

I am a film maker myself. I'm currently producing a film. Nice advice for the film makers. Heading to Hollywood for my next interview. Good advice. I'm currently writing a Film Making guide book. "Film Making Textbook" Almost finished with it.
I shot a short film where the opening scene involved us filming in a car. We did the whole thing handheld in the back seat and it came out looking pretty good. The first couple of takes were a bit overexposed but with a good steady strip of road at around 35 mph, you can get some pretty stable footage. You can check it out at http://www.vimeo.com/20730420
