What is a speed bump or road surface inspection for picture cars?
Updated June 2026 · Revolution Picture Cars
A speed bump or road surface inspection for picture cars is the pre-shoot evaluation of driving routes and surfaces performed by the stunt coordinator, transportation captain, and location department before any vehicle sequences are filmed.
The inspection identifies hazards including potholes, manhole covers, excessive camber, oil patches, gravel, and low clearance obstacles that could damage picture cars, destabilize camera rigs, or create unsafe driving conditions. Issues found during the inspection are either remediated before filming or communicated to the stunt coordinator for route adjustments.
