This is a Gallery of Movie Vehicles
Vehicles used in the making of the movie `Try 17'. (Mar. `02)

LOCATION

Locations can be anywhere. In this case it is a house in Vancouver, B. C. Canada
CIRCUS

The circus is a collection of pretties or vehicles that service the actors.
The circus is usually close to the location, but quite often is not.
Work trucks that cannot find a place near the location will be with the circus
CAMERA TRUCK

Camera trucks are equipped with heaters, battery chargers, and darkrooms
POWER TAILGATES
(Truck with power tailgate.)
Most of the work trucks are equipped with power tailgates and custom made stairs to ease loading and speed the egress of staff
7P

Seven passenger vans, 7Ps, are used to convey actors, producers, extras, drivers, etc. from one point to another
15P

Fifteen passenger vans, 15Ps, are used to convey actors, producers, extras, drivers, etc. from one point to another. Sometimes the back bench seat is removed to make room for freight.
These, like the 7Ps, are always new vehicles. All brands are used, GM, Chrysler, and Ford
CABLE TRUCK

Unlike Hollywood or the film industry in Toronto where much cable is pulled by hand, Hollywood North has developed a system of trucks that utilize net drums from fishing boats to wrap up and carry electrical cable. The drum on this truck is empty as the cable has been strung out to connect the vehicles in the circus with the generator
ELECTRICS TRAILER

The electrics trailer carries the wiring and equipment that the electricians will need to set up the lights on the set. This particular unit also carries an electrical generator behind the cab of the tractor
HAIR, MAKEUP, & WARDROBE

Commonly called the hair & makeup. The front part, or truck, contains sinks, mirrors, etc. for doing the actors hair and makeup. The back part, or trailer, holds washer, dryer, and racks to hold the clothes for the actors and extras
HONEY WAGON

The truck on this unit contains, his & hers, the front two doors. The last door is the office for the 3rd AD (Assistant Director) It is his job to get the actors ready, see to their needs, and assure that they are transported to set on time. The third door is the drivers room. In the trailer are changing rooms for the actors or extras
MOHO

Moho, Motor homes, Fifth wheel trailers, and other RVs are often referred to as Pretties. These are the homes, away from home, for the actors when they are on set. The size of the pretty is determined by the budget of the picture and the importance of the actor. Those who don't rate a pretty use the rooms in the trailer of the Honey Wagon and extras often use the washrooms
SLUSH TRUCK

When a work truck can’t get close to a location,
slush trucks are used to carry the equipment from the work truck to the location.
If a work truck is too big, smaller vehicles, such as ATVs, will be utilized
FIRST AID TRAILER

All work areas require that a first aid attendant be present.
Often they are supplied with a trailer or truck that is equipped with beds, water, and heat
CHERRY PICKER

An aerial platform, often called a cherry picker, is used to reach high places or to hold lights up high
GRIPS TRAILER

The grips trailer carries rods and clamps and other stuff that the grips need
