How to safely shoot a chase? Behind the scenes: daytime #shorts
Sometimes in movies you have to shoot stunts involving child characters. Like this chase scene in the movie The Day Shift, for example. Naturally, you can't put a real child in a dangerous situation. A rig based on the Motion Base Set was used to create this scene along with live footage.
As you can see, one person from the special effects team controls the movement of the car, and the second person is next to the structure to visually control the process, this is required by safety rules.
Basically, for the filming of the chase used an expensive and realistic mannequin, which replaced the actor-child. And the dummy was used not only for long shots, but also for close-ups, during the dialogues, when everything was shaking around and the viewer could not see the details. By the way, notice another thing - the wheels on the truck on the rig do not turn, the crew decided not to spend extra money on this - anyhow, their movement can easily create a VFX team.
The explanation is based on the comments of u/tubarchy, a Reddit user who was involved in the work on the film.
