equipment. Its two seats are like those in race
cars, with one seat facing forward and one
facing backward. With this arrangement, a
camera operator can film from either direction or
from both directions at the same time. Both
seats have five-point racing harnesses so that the
operators can’t be thrown out of the seats. The
car has also been modified to accommodate
the sidecar and the extra weight of the camera
crew and their equipment. Because of the
sidecar, the Moto Cam steers more like a car
than a motorcycle, allowing it to follow the
movements of another vehicle more easily. This
makes the final filmed sequence more
believable to the audience.
