The Film Place Take to Land, Air and Water for PKN Orlen Verva Street Race

Film Produkcja and THE FILM PLACE have shared the latest successful production for PKN ORLEN.

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the historic Battle of Warsaw in 1920, Orlen - the Polish Oil Concern, organised the extraordinary event.

Film Produkcja was responsible for the whole logistic side of filming it. The work of its team was coordinated by producer Kris Kotlarski. It was logistically, a incredibly complex challenge of synchronising shooting on land, water and in the air. Everything was shot in real time with no rehearsals. For the purpose of this event, traffic along the Vistula River was closed on a section of 3 km, and the road itself was specially secured in accordance with the guidelines of the Winfield F1 team.

For several weeks, the bottom of the Vistula was thoroughly scanned in order to make a detailed map to determine the best route for the F1H2o water boat.

Above all, the special air corridor for the Żelazny Orlen aerobatic group and for the flight of the Polish Government Plane 'Pilsudski'  was closed. Dozens of cameras with operators on land and water included, HiSpeed ​​Phantom cameras, 60 cameras on board Connect in different vehicles (F1 car/F1H2O boat/planes/Gov’s Boeing ), a chase car Audi Q7 with HotHead head, three drones, two helicopters (1x Cineflex system + 1 stedicam) and camera boats on the river. Seven leading Polish photo-reporters shot the event from land and air.
