What is a tracking shot vehicle sequence?

Updated June 2026 · Revolution Picture Cars

A tracking shot vehicle sequence is any filmed sequence in which the camera moves continuously alongside, behind, or ahead of a picture car while both the camera platform and the vehicle are in motion.

Tracking shots require precise choreography between the camera car driver and the picture car driver to maintain consistent framing a vehicle drifting even two feet from its mark can take it out of frame entirely. Radio communication between all moving units is standard practice during tracking shot sequences.
