Car Filming Services

Here is how this works in practice. We set up full car filming setups, from camera cars and process trailers to hard mounts, suction rigs and arm cars. Our team manages the road side of the work in full: permits and route planning through Transport Malta, police planning with the Malta Police Force for closures and rolling roadblocks, and the safety planning a moving car sequence demands.

Here is the short of it. Malta's compact road network is a genuine advantage for automotive work — a unit can shoot a harbourside chase beat near Valletta, reposition to a rural lane on Gozo via the Gozo Channel ferry, and cover a dialogue drive on a quiet inland road, all within a short radius. We plan precision driving, camera-car choreography and stunt planning where needed, and we draw on the production roads around Malta Film Studios so crew, cars and rigging are sourced locally where possible. English on each set keeps communication with police, stunt and camera teams immediate and exact.

Here is the breakdown. Malta's geography makes it a versatile car filming location. The islands give a great variety of road environments within a 30-to-45-minute radius: the fortified harbourside roads beneath Valletta, the UNESCO capital the Knights of St John built after the 1565 Great Siege. The narrow lanes and coastal routes of the green sister island Gozo. And open inland roads that can stand in for other areas. A former British colony, Malta drives on the left. This shoots plan around when matching to a script's geography.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. The island's roughly 300 days of sunshine give long, dependable shooting windows for exterior automotive work. As an EU and Schengen member where English is universally spoken, permit liaison and police planning are straightforward, and a cash rebates of up to 40% on eligible expenditure through the Malta Film Commission supports the camera cars, road running and crew that car filming needs.
