Masada Picture Cars built the NRMA Car
In 2012 we proudly built the NRMA car using 5 cars and 52 extras.
The brief was to make sure everything worked… watch the video to see if we delivered!
You can appreciate from this video that Masada Picture Cars can build pretty much any film care you can imagine for your next movie or TV production.
All you need to do it let your imagination run wild and then…
…just ask!
Masada Picture Cars - Film Car Vehicle Preparation
If you are going to use a vehicle for a stunt, explosion, burn, roll over, drop from a height, collision, submerge it in a waterway or the ocean, drive it on the beach, or just use it is a static display it is essential to ensure environmental and safety obligations are fulfilled correctly.
Failure to do so can result in severe injuries, massive financial penalties, damage to the vehicle or just a very unhappy owner. We also prepare your film cars to ensure they act in the way you wish them to so you are able to achieve the effect you want and are not stuck with the effect you get.
