1970s on screen

Work vehicles can give a seventies street practical activity, provided any visible company lettering has been chosen and cleared for the production rather than assumed. Older cars can still belong in a seventies traffic mix, and references help avoid making every parked vehicle look as though it was recently purchased. A seventies neighbourhood can be built around ordinary comings and goings, letting the vehicles belong to the street instead of presenting them as exhibits.

Possible roles in a production

Pillion scenes require a specific plan for the performers and shot, with passenger use checked rather than assumed from the motorcycle or scooter label. Costume movement should be rehearsed beside the supplied motorcycle or scooter, especially when coats, bags or helmets must be handled consistently between takes. A parked two-wheeler can support a greeting at a doorway, keeping the scene useful even when no riding action is intended for the camera.
