Default I'm confused! "Rig" shots?

Like it says im not sure if i got the right idea of what a rig shot is! Can we get some pics and how u go about seting them up?

Is it some "rigged" up mounting system for your camera that mounts it to your car so you can take motion/driving shots? then you go back and photoshop the stand/mount out of the image?

?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????

chances are, nobody is going to show you how to make one, since more photographers are ******** about that stuff.

"It took me forever to figure it out, you figure it out yourself" wtf?

Its basically a mount that can be suction cupped/ strapped to your car and the mount is extended way out to get the right angle. The rig is later photoshopped out of the shot.

Pretty much, and nobody wants to share that info. BTW, rig shots are gay. "Funk faked" action ***** IMO.

Yea, it attaches to the bottom of the car with very strong magnets. You can find magnets online and make your own rig... be creative.

wow, I thought they might of been magnets, but geez, SLR cameras can be pretty heavy, I dunno if I'd trust that very much at all

EDIT: but come to think of it, you are going very slow, so I guess you can just walk beside it lol
