Cecil is carefully positioned for a perfect interior shot

Those of you who have seen our video road tests may have wondered how we manage to squeeze all those stunning images into such a small window on your computer. In the early days we used to shoot everything in high definition then spend hours compressing it into flash format so that it would all fit into a broadband pipe. But that was too time consuming so now it’s all shot on a miniature film set using a virtual ‘camerman’ which can be positioned at will according to the shot we need. The attached image shows the film director positioning Cecil (the ‘cameraman’) in just the right place to shoot the interior of the new Skoda Roomster.
